A gas sensor includes a field effect transistor supported on an oxide layer of a substrate, the field effect transistor having a doped source (p+ doped for T-FET and n+ doped for FET) and an n+ doped drain separated by an channel region (intrinsic for T-FET or slightly p-doped for FET), and a floating gate separated from the channel region by a gate oxide, a passivation layer covering the floating gate, and a sensing layer supported by the passivation layer, the sensing layer comprising nanofibers.
