摘要
In this study, an amorphous tin oxide (SnO2) obtained by thermal evaporation was used as a pH-sensitive material for pH-ISFETs. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) curves of the EIS diode were used to evaluate pH response of SnO2 thin film. Subsequently, SnO2/SiO2 gate ISFET was fabricated and pH sensitivity was determined through a shift in the: threshold voltage of an ISFET sensor. The experimental data show that the SnO2/SiO2 gate ISFET sensors have a linear pH response of about 58 mV pH(-1) in a concentration range between pH 2 and pH 10. In addition, the other characteristics of this sensor, such as temperature effect, drift effect, hysteresis and response time were also investigated in this paper. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
