摘要:
An apparatus for detecting at least one substance present in a fluid flow includes at least one field effect transistor which acts as a measuring sensor, and at least one field effect transistor which acts as a reference element, the field effect transistors each having at least one source electrode, one drain electrode, and one gate electrode. The gate electrode of the field effect transistor which acts as the measuring sensor is sensitive to the at least one substance to be detected, and the gate electrode of the field effect transistor which acts as the reference element is essentially insensitive to the at least one substance to be detected. The source electrode of one of the field effect transistors and the drain electrode of the other of the field effect transistors are connected to one another and to a signal line. A method for detecting at least one substance present in a fluid flow by using the apparatus is also described, a potential of 0 volt being applied to the signal line and the current flowing on the signal line being measured.

In a method for operating a semiconductor gas sensor, the gas sensor including at least one gas-sensitive electrode, the method may provide for impression of a voltage sequence on the gas-sensitive electrode. The operation may take place in a measuring cycle which is subdivided into at least one initialization phase and at least one subsequent measuring phase, a first voltage sequence being impressed on the gas-sensitive electrode during the initialization phase, a second voltage sequence being impressed on the gas-sensitive electrode during the measuring phase, and the first voltage sequence differing from the second voltage sequence. A semiconductor gas sensor may be provided for implementing the method according to the invention, and a method may relate to the use of such a sensor.

摘要:
A gas sensor and method for ascertaining the concentration of one or more gas species, in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The gas sensor includes a measuring cell having a gas inlet, a gas outlet, a catalysis area, and an analysis area. The sensor also includes a catalytic converter for catalyzing a reaction of a first gas species to form a second gas species in the catalysis area, and a gas analyzer for spectroscopically measuring the concentration of the second gas species in the analysis area. Through the catalytic converter, a first gas species may be converted into a second gas species whose absorption and/or scattering wavelength(s) are within the emission wavelength range of semiconductor radiation sources, so that the gas analyzer may have a semiconductor radiation source.
