Abstract
A TFT biosensor includes a gate electrode (silicon substrate), a reference electrode, and enzyme that is fixed to an insulating substrate spatially separated from the gate electrode and the reference electrode. A pH variation in the vicinity of an ion-sensitive insulating film is induced by a reaction between the enzyme and a sensing object material. The TFT biosensor can detect a concentration of the sensing object material with high sensitivity by detecting the pH variation as a threshold voltage shift of characteristics of a gate-source voltage to a source-drain current.
