Embodiment
In the following description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, using identical or similar reference marker with the similar element of effect shown in the different figure, wherein omitted being repeated in this description of these elements.
Fig. 1 shows the theory diagram according to the sensor device 100 that is used for the analysing fluid ingredient of one embodiment of the invention.Sensor device 100 has first sensor 102, the second sensor 104 and analytical equipment 106.First sensor 102 and the second sensor 104 constitute for survey this ingredient when at least one ingredient of fluid and sensor 102,104 sensor cover contact.For this reason, two sensors 102,104 are arranged in the space that described fluid is positioned at.Sensor 102,104 links to each other with analytic unit 106 respectively.First sensor 102 constitutes for measuring-signal being offered analytic unit 106.The second sensor 104 constitutes for reference signal being offered analytic unit 106.
By unshowned filtrator, the second sensor 104 separates with fluid.This filtrator can not pass through at least one ingredient of fluid, so that the second sensor 104 separates with at least one ingredient.Be different from the second sensor 104, first sensor 102 does not separate with at least one ingredient and therefore can survey at least one ingredient.
The measuring-signal of first sensor 102 represent the environmental impact of influential sensor, comprise the concentration of at least one ingredient in the fluid.The reference signal of the second sensor 104 only represents environmental impact, and does not represent the concentration of at least one ingredient in the fluid.
Analytical equipment 106 constitutes for using under the condition of processing rule the measuring-signal that measuring-signal and reference signal is combined into correction.The measuring-signal of proofreading and correct represent at least one ingredient in the fluid concentration and without the environmental impact that affects sensor.The environmental impact that will affect sensor by means of reference signal is removed from measuring-signal.For being made up, measuring-signal and reference signal can use suitable algorithm or function.By use reference signal for example can compensation sensor 102,104 aging.
The below describes embodiment according to Fig. 1, and sensor is based on field effect transistor 102, the 104(ChemFET of semi-conductive gas sensitization in this embodiment).This transistorlike 102,104 is used increasingly extensive in sensor technology.At this, utilize the gas of test species to be detected-for example or liquid or gas or liquid mixture-load transistor 102,104 grid usually to cause the electromotive force on transistor 102,104 the gate electrode to change, this electromotive force changes can change transistor 102,104 channel impedance.Whereby, flow through from the source electrode contact site to the drain electrode contact site transistor 102,104 electric current, namely so-called channel current is changed.Have larger band gap (〉 3eV if use for transistor 102,104) semiconductor material, for example gallium nitride (GaN) or silit (SiC), so this so that ChemFET102,104 can be used for using up to the sensor technology in 800 ℃ of situations in temperature, described temperature also occurs in the engine exhaust of motor vehicle in principle.In order to analyze engine exhaust, sensor 102,104 can be arranged in the off-gas line of motor vehicle.
In the working point of selecting, field effect transistor 102,104 channel current are usually than by loading the test species, being that the channel current that sensor 102,104 actual measured signal cause changes high several order of magnitude.Obtain thus the high request to noiseless current measurement.Outside disturbing effect for example is temperature change or sensor degradation, and they cause the change of channel current and not based on the existence of test species.For compensate for disturbances impact and skew, for example can use the field effect transistor 104 that works as reference element, it is insensitive for material to be detected.Preferably, about semiconductor structure, physical dimension and electrical specification, the field effect transistor 104 that is used as reference element is identical with the field effect transistor 102 that works as survey sensor.In addition, in two field effect transistors 102,104 the less situation of space interval, there is good thermal coupling.This for example provides in situation about device 102,104 being integrated on the chip 100.So in the ideal case, the difference of the channel current of the field effect transistor 102 that works as survey sensor and the field effect transistor 104 that works as reference element is only also owing to the existence of material to be detected.
For this reason, two field-effect transistors 102,104 should experience identical disturbing effect.Can use the physics fence (Barriere) of the form of the layer that can not pass through with analyte in order to make reference sensor 104, be prevented from by means of the contact between the sensitive layer of described physics fence tester kind and reference sensor 104.Shielding fully in reference sensor 104 situations, can be on gas sensor 102, but reference sensor 104 occur by real gas or liquid environment cause aging.This means the difference that between gas sensor 102 during the duration of operation of sensor device 100 and reference element 104, may occur aspect the electric behavior.
What the scheme of here introducing had been introduced the signal drift that is used for ChemFET sensor 100 does not depend on aging compensating unit.Integrated reference sensor 104 on semiconductor gas sensor chip 100, it is placed under the environmental baseline identical with the sensor 102 of measurement gas, for example temperature or exhaust gas atmosphere.By forming poor from the sensor signal of potential electrode 102 and reference electrode 104, can calculate the glitch-free and difficult measuring-signal that wears out.Therefore, life period full remuneration drift current and the disturbing effect at sensor device 100 is comprehensively possible.
For compensate for disturbances and drift, use reference electrodes 104 at ChemFET sensor chip 100, described reference electrode is owing to the aging behavior identical with potential electrode to be compensated 102 experienced in chemical corrosion.Therefore, at two electrodes 102,104 identical catabiosis appears so that after the long duration of operation sensor row of the change of potential electrode 102 for can with under new state, be compensated very similarly.For this reason, the species of gases of formation signal is converted into the gas that does not cause sensor signal catalysis type before its arrives sensor electrode surface.These gases are together with being included in all other gases, for example carbon dioxide, water or oxygen in the gas flow, do not cause signal on sensor 104, arrive the sensor surface of reference electrode 104 and apply there and interference identical on potential electrode 102 and burn-in effects, for example gas noise or chemical corrosion.So of short duration disturbing effect except being compensated whereby, for example outside temperature, gas noise or the pressure dependence, also may during the long time period, realize the aging behavior that is caused by medium that type is identical, i.e. benchmark and survey sensor 102,104 so-called chemical corrosion.In addition, obtained the simplification of ChemFET sensor 100, made cheaply, because during process, can save additional semiconductor processes step by saving physical gas fence (Gasbarriere).

In order to make reference sensor 104, the carrier layer 200 that contains catalyst converter is applied on the area of grid 202 of ChemFET of gas sensitization.This carrier layer 200 should be the porous that links up, and enters into gate electrode 202 so that gas can pass carrier layer 200 always.
