The presence of heavy metal ions such as copper in the human body at certain concentrations and specific conditions can lead to the development of different diseases. The currently available analytical detection methods remain expensive, time-consuming, and often require sample pre-treatment. The development of specific and quantitative, easy-in-operation, and cost-effective devices, capable of monitoring the level of Cu2+ ions in environmental and physiological media, is necessary. We use silicon nanoribbon (SiNR) ion-sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) devices modified with a Gly–Gly–His peptide for the detection of copper ions in a large concentration range. The specific binding of copper ions causes a conformational change of the ligand, and a deprotonation of secondary amine groups. By performing differential measurements, we gain a deeper insight into the details of the ion–ligand interaction. We highlight in particular the importance of considering non-specific interactions to explain the sensors’ response.

This paper presents an insight into the short circuit (SC) capability of Rohm’s discrete 1.2 kV, 80 mΩ state-of-the-art silicon carbide (SiC) double trench metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). SC measurements are performed to compare the behavior of Wolfspeed’s similarly rated 1.2 kV, 80 mΩ planar MOSFET with the Rohm trench devices. Short circuit withstand time (SCWT) of both designs under nominal operating conditions at room temperature is measured by performing destructive SC tests.

ABSTRACTWe have used single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (SWNT-FET) and chemically converted graphene field-effect transistor (CCG-FET) devices to probe the interactions between carbohydrates and their recognition lectins. Porphyrin- and pyrene-based glycoconjugates were used as receptor molecules and the target lectins were two bacterial lectins that present different carbohydrate preference, namely PA-IL, PA-IIL from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a plant lectin Concanavalin A. The specific binding between lectin and carbohydrate can be transduced to the change in FET device conductance. An initial study with SWNT-FET noncovalently functionalized with porphyrin-based glycoconjugates showed both good selectivity and sensitivity. To compare SWNT and CCG performance, pyrene- and porphyrin-based glycoconjugates were functionalized noncovalently on the surface of CCG-FET and SWNT-FET devices, which were then treated with non-specific and specific lectins. The responses were compared and rationalized using computer-aided models of carbon nanostructure/glycoconjugate interactions. Fluorescence microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and Isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) measurements were used to confirm the electrical results.

The last 19 years have seen intense research made on zinc oxide (ZnO) material mainly due to the ability of converting the natural n-type material into p-type. For a long time, the p-type state was impossible to attain and maintain. The review focuses on ways of improving the doped ZnO material which acts as a channel for nanowire field effect transistor (NWFET) and biosensor. The biosensor has specific binding which is called functionalisation achieved by attaching a variety of compounds on the designated sensing area. Reference electrodes and buffers are used as controllers. Top-down fabrication processes are preferred over bottom-up because they pave way for mass production. Different growth techniques are reviewed and discussed. Strengths and weaknesses of the FET and sensor are also reviewed.

ABSTRACTWe propose a new concept of a gene field effect transistor (FET) for detection of allele specific oligonucleotide hybridization, which is in principle based on charge density change at the gate insulator. The electrical characteristics of the gene FET were found to shift after specific binding of biomolecules at the surface of the gate insulator. Allele specific oligonucleotide hybridization and reaction between double-stranded DNA and intercalator were successfully detected with gene FETs because they have intrinsic charges in an aqueous solution. Ability to discriminate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was also examined using the gene FET. Our results show that control of hybridization temperature and utilization of intercalator lead to more precise SNP analysis using the gene FET.
