In this study, a highly sensitive and selective sodium ion sensor consisting of a dual-gate (DG) structured silicon nanowire (SiNW) field-effect transistor (FET) as the transducer and a sodium-selective membrane extended gate (EG) as the sensing unit was developed. The SiNW channel DG FET was fabricated through the dry etching of the silicon-on-insulator substrate by using electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone nanofibers as a template for the SiNW pattern transfer. The selectivity and sensitivity of sodium to other ions were verified by constructing a sodium ion sensor, wherein the EG was electrically connected to the SiNW channel DG FET with a sodium-selective membrane. An extremely high sensitivity of 1464.66 mV/dec was obtained for a NaCl solution. The low sensitivities of the SiNW channel FET-based sodium ion sensor to CaCl2, KCl, and pH buffer solutions demonstrated its excellent selectivity. The reliability and stability of the sodium ion sensor were verified under non-ideal behaviors by analyzing the hysteresis and drift. Therefore, the SiNW channel DG FET-based sodium ion sensor, which comprises a sodium-selective membrane EG, can be applied to accurately detect sodium ions in the analyses of sweat or blood.

ABSTRACTRecently, we have experimentally demonstrated a very simply structured unipolar accumulation-type metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (AMOSFET) using grow-in-place silicon nanowires. The AMOSFET consists of a single doping type nanowire, metal source and drain contacts which are separated by a partially gated region. Despite its simple configuration, it is capable of high performance thereby offering the potential of a low manufacturing-cost transistor. Since the quality of the metal/semiconductor ohmic source and drain contacts impacts AMOSFET performance, we repot here on initial exploration of contact variations and of the impact of thermal process history. With process optimization, current on/off ratios of 106 and subthreshold swings of 70 mV/dec have been achieved with these simple devices

Based on the improvements of the fabrication technologies, the dimension of the device has decreased to tens of nanometer. The nano-technology has become intriguing to integrate semiconductor technologies into bio-related applications. As the consequence, silicon nanowires (Si NWs) have been proposed to detect proteins, DNA, virus, and ions etc. However, few of previous studies consider the possibility to merge with CMOS standard process. In this work, we announced CMOS compatible technique which is used to develop polysilicon nanowire field effect transistor (poly-Si NW FET) as a chemical sensor to address this issue.

Donor–acceptor-type organic semiconductor molecules are of great interest for potential organic field-effect transistor applications with ambipolar characteristics and non-volatile memory applications. Here, we synthesized an organic semiconductor, PDPPT-TT, and directly utilized it in both field-effect transistor and non-volatile memory applications. As-synthesized PDPPT-TT was simply spin-coated on a substrate for the device fabrications. The PDPPT-TT based field-effect transistor showed ambipolar electrical transfer characteristics. Furthermore, a gold nanoparticle-embedded dielectric layer was used as a charge trapping layer for the non-volatile memory device applications. The non-volatile memory device showed clear memory window formation as applied gate voltage increases, and electrical stability was evaluated by performing retention and cycling tests. In summary, we demonstrate that a donor–acceptor-type organic semiconductor molecule shows great potential for ambipolar field-effect transistors and non-volatile memory device applications as an important class of materials.
