Abstract :
A sputtered LaF/sub 3/ (solid electrolyte) film was used to construct a novel MOS=type glucose sensor. The sensor, having a structure of GOD (glucose oxidase) immobilized film/Pt/LaF/sub 3//SiO/sub 2//Si/Al multiple layers, needs no external reference electrode. A stable response was obtained in the glucose concentration range from 2*10/sup -4/ to 2*10/sup -2/ M in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 6.9, with a 90% response time of ca. 1 min. Preliminary discussions on the response mechanism are also presented.<>
