A high-sensitivity and low-power FET-type gas sensor is proposed. The proposed sensor increases the amount of adsorbed NO2 gas molecules and decreases the NO2 gas adsorption energy by controlling the electron concentration of the sensing material. The electron concentration control method increases the NO2 gas adsorption-induced threshold voltage change (ΔVth) by a factor of ~2.3. Due to the exceptionally high sensitivity of the sensor at low temperatures (100 ℃), the sensor can detect NO2 gas with very little power (~1.55 mW).
