Abstract
We present the results obtained with an extended-gate ISFET totally based on amorphous oxides (GIZO as the semiconductor, Ta2O5:SiO2 as the dielectric and Ta2O5 as the sensitive layer). A full characterization of the device was performed with constant ionic strength pH buffer solutions, revealing a sensitivity of 40 mV/pH with small hysteresis, and good linearity in the pH 4-pH 10 range buffer solutions. These results clearly show that it is possible to produce room-temperature disposable and low cost bio-sensors.
