Description

PH sensor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a pH sensor and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of sensors.
Background
An Ion sensitive field effect transistor (Ion-Sensitive Field Effect Transistor, ISFET for short) is used as a sensitive device for detecting biochemical signals, is firstly proposed by a Netherlands scientist P.Bergveld in 1970 and is used for measuring neurophysiology, a new research prologue of a biochemical sensor is uncovered from the beginning, and new vitality is injected into the research of an electrochemical biochemical sensor, so that the Ion sensitive field effect transistor has epoch-making significance.
The most basic application of ISFETs is in pH detection, where many biochemical assays are based on monitoring pH changes in biochemical reactions, but want to make a breakthrough in the related art as if it were a long-lasting war in open field. For example, many species of bacteria need to grow in specific dishes and are isolated until their numbers are sufficiently large under oxidizing or fermenting conditions. Currently, if it is desired to detect changes in the pH of the surrounding environment produced by bacteria, it is generally necessary to use a colored pH indicator to obtain relevant experimental data in a lengthy wait of about 24-36 hours. Therefore, development of micro-detection techniques such as micro-fluidic devices and micro-sensors is imperative to improve the related detection techniques.
In recent years, with the unique structure of a Metal-Oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), an ISFET has been designed to realize a novel biochemical sensor with excellent characteristics such as higher sensitivity, high resolution, and short response time. The sensor has the advantages of small volume, low manufacturing cost, easy integration, no damage, durable measurement and the like, can meet the requirements of various specific detection through changing corresponding sensitive materials, and can be widely applied to a plurality of fields of food safety, biomedicine, environmental monitoring, military aerospace, agricultural machinery, industrial control and judicial identification.
ISFETs differ from traditional biochemical sensors using ion selective electrodes in that they have smaller volumes, faster detection speeds, fewer detection samples are required for detection, and are more suitable for real-time and continuous systematic monitoring. The basic device structure of an ISFET is very similar to a MOSFET, and can be considered as a MOSFET with a metal gate removed, where a sensitive thin film is deposited on the gate dielectric layer and in direct contact with an electrolytic solution, and where certain ion concentration changes or certain specific behaviors in the solution can result in corresponding interface potentials and potential distributions that result in corresponding changes in the threshold voltage of the ISFET device. These changes can be obtained by measuring the change of the reference electrode potential under the same source-drain current or directly measuring the change of the source-drain current to obtain the change of the ion concentration in the solution and the generation of related specific behaviors.
For ISFETs, the choice of sensitive layer material directly determines the detection sensitivity of the ISFET device.
