Abstract
According to various embodiments, there is provided a sensor device that includes: a substrate and two semiconductor structures. Each semiconductor structure includes a source region and a drain region at least partially disposed within the substrate, a channel region between the source region and the drain region, and a gate region. A first semiconductor structure of the two semiconductor structures further includes a sensing element electrically connected to the first gate structure. The sensing element is configured to receive a solution. The drain regions of the two semiconductor structures are electrically coupled. The source regions of the two semiconductor structures are also electrically coupled. A mobility of charge carriers of the channel region of a second semiconductor structure of the two semiconductor structures is lower than a mobility of charge carriers of the channel region of the first semiconductor structure.
