Herein, we report on the fabrication of an extended-gated organic field-effect transistor (OFET)-based immunosensor and its application in the detection of human chromogranin A (hCgA). The fabricated OFET device possesses an extended-gate electrode immobilized with an anti-CgA antibody. The titration results of hCgA showed that the electrical changes in the OFET characteristics corresponded to ...

High-response organic field-effect transistor (OFET)-based NO₂ sensors were fabricated using the synergistic effect the synergistic effect of zinc oxide/poly(methyl methacrylate) (ZnO/PMMA) hybrid dielectric and CuPc/Pentacene heterojunction. Compared with the OFET sensors without synergistic effect, the fabricated OFET sensors showed a remarkable shift of saturation current, field-effect mobil...

We demonstrate liquid crystal-on-organic field-effect transistor (LC-on-OFET) sensory devices that can perceptively sense ultralow level gas flows. The LC-on-OFET devices were fabricated by mounting LC molecules (4-cyano-4'-pentylbiphenyl - 5CB) on the polymer channel layer of OFET. Results showed that the presence of LC molecules on the channel layer resulted in enhanced drain currents due to ...

Novel bisimide-fused acenes were synthesized via bismuth triflate mediated double-cyclization reaction of acid chlorides and isocyanates. Their optical and electrical properties revealed significantly smaller HOMO-LUMO gaps compared with those of their parent acenes. Fabricated OFET based on tetracene bisimide showed n-type OFET outputs.

Herein, we report an organic field effect transistor (OFET) with an extended-gate modified by an artificial receptor for the detection of mercury(II) ions (Hg(2+)) in water. The sensor device is easy to fabricate, reusable, disposable, and portable. Thus OFET sensors could be applied for low-cost on-site detection of Hg(2+).

Organic field-effect transistor (OFET) sensors can meet the need for portable and real-time diagnostics. An electronicreadout enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using OFETs for the detection of a panel of three biomarkers in complex media to create a pre-eclampsia prognostic is demonstrated, along with biodetection utilizing a fully inkjet-printed and flexible OFET to underscore our ability to p...

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) has been widely used as a dielectric of the ferroelectric organic field-effect transistor (FE-OFET) nonvolatile memory (NVM). Some critical issues, including low mobility and high operation voltage, existed in these FE-OFET NVMs, should be resolved before considering to their commercial application. In this paper, we demonstrated low-voltage operating...

1,8-Naphthoylene(trifluoromethylbenzimidazole)-4,5-dicarboxylic acid imide (NTFBII) derivatives were synthesized. The OFET devices based on these new materials showed typical n-type OFET behavior and achieved an electron mobility as high as 0.10 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) with good bias stress stability.

Saccharides in water are detected electrically using an extended-gate type organic field effect transistor (OFET) functionalised by a phenylboronic acid monolayer. The response patterns of the monosaccharides are significantly different, suggesting that OFET devices can successfully read out the saccharide recognition behaviour of boronic acids and be potentially applied to healthcare devices m...

This study is the first to report on the detection of biogenic amines in an aqueous solution using an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) device with an extended gate electrode modified with a layer of diamine oxidase and a horseradish peroxidase osmium-redox polymer. The limit of detection (LOD) for histamine was estimated to be 1.2 μM. These results reveal that extended-gate type OFET devi...
