Abstract: In recent years there has been great progress in applying FET-type biosensors for highly sensitive biological detection. Among them, the ISFET (ion-sensitive field-effect transistor) is one of the most intriguing approaches in electrical biosensing technology. Here, we review some of the main advances in this field over the past few years, explore its application prospects, and discuss the main issues, approaches, and challenges, with the aim of stimulating a broader interest in developing ISFET-based biosensors and extending their applications for reliable and sensitive analysis of various biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, enzymes, and cells.

Abstract: The fabrication of pH-sensitive ISFET devices in an unmodified two-metal commercial CMOS technology (1.0 m from Atmel-ES2) is reported. The ISFET devices have a gate structure compatible with the CMOS process, with an electrically floating electrode consisting on polysilicon plus the two metals. The passivation oxynitride layer acts as the pH-sensitive material in contact with the liquid solution. The devices have shown good operating characteristics, with a 47 mV/pH response. The use of a commercial CMOS process allows the straightforward integration of signal-processing circuitry. An ISFET amplifier circuit has been integrated with the ISFET sensors.
