Field Effect Gas Sensors

In this chapter the physics and chemistry of field effect gas sensors will be described. We have concentrated on FET transistors and MIS capacitors, devices which respond to gases when the gas affects the electric field over the insulator in the device. A variety of applications of these kinds of sensors will be described, including their use in multisensor arrays together with pattern recognition routines.
