A study of the drift in Pd/Ni alloy hydrogen sensitive resistor and transistor responses is presented. The sensors were monitored for a period of 6 months in a reducing atmosphere of 0.1% H{sub 2} in N{sub 2} with periodic calibration exposures. A comparison of a resistor film with an adhesion layer showed considerable improvement in diminishing the drift
