Hygroscopic insulator organic field effect transistor sensors

(2022) Hygroscopic insulator organic field effect transistor sensors. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Hygroscopic insulator field effect transistors (HIFETs) are organic transistors with promising characteristics for biosensing applications. However, their fundamental sensing mechanisms are not yet fully understood. This thesis explores HIFET sensors through detailed electrical and optical characterisation, providing vital insights into the distinct mechanisms by which HIFETs detect biologically relevant chemicals. Hydrogen peroxide, a by-product of enzymatic reactions, oxidises the organic semiconductor, modulating the output current. Ionic solutions, such as KCl, NaCl and HCl, modulate the current by changing double layer capacitance. These insights are foundational for the continued development of HIFETs as effective multipurpose biosensing platforms.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
