Biologically sensitive field-effect transistors: from ISFETs to NanoFETs

Biologically sensitive field-effect transistors (BioFETs) are one of the most abundant classes of electronic sensors for biomolecular detection. Most of the time these sensors are realized as classical ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) having non-metallized gate dielectrics facing an electrolyte solution. In ISFETs, a semiconductor material is used as the active transducer element...

Deoxyribonucleic Acid Sensitive Graphene Field-Effect Transistors

We have investigated the effect of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) adsorption on a graphene field-effect-transistor (FET) device. We have used graphene which is grown on a Ni substrate by chemical vapour deposition. The Raman spectra of our graphene indicate its high quality, and also show that it consists of only a few layers. The current-voltage characteristics of our bare graphene strip FET show...

Recent progress in photoactive organic field-effect transistors

Recent progress in photoactive organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is reviewed. Photoactive OFETs are divided into light-emitting (LE) and light-receiving (LR) OFETs. In the first part, LE-OFETs are reviewed from the viewpoint of the evolution of device structures. Device performances have improved in the last decade with the evolution of device structures from single-layer unipolar to mul...

Recent Trends in Field-Effect Transistors-Based Immunosensors

Immunosensors are analytical platforms that detect specific antigen-antibody interactions and play an important role in a wide range of applications in biomedical clinical diagnosis, food safety, and monitoring contaminants in the environment. Field-effect transistors (FET) immunosensors have been developed as promising alternatives to conventional immunoassays, which require complicated proces...
