Measurement of Low Concentrations of Hydrogen in Oxygen By Using Sensors Based on MIS-structures

Abstract

It is shown that the possibility of using MIS-sensors as sensitive elements of gas analyzers for monitoring the concentration of hydrogen in the range of 5–10−5... 1% in oxygen. The article reports on the possibility of measuring low concentrations of hydrogen (0.5... 10 ppm) in oxygen using a MIS-sensor (metalinsulator-semiconductor).
