In this study, ITO extended gate reduced graphene oxide field effect transistor (rGO FET) was demonstrated as a transducer for a proton sensing application. In this structure, the sensing area is isolated from the active area of the device. Therefore, it is easy to deposit or modify the sensing area without affecting on the device performance. In this case, the ITO extended gate was used as a gate electrode as well as a proton sensing material. The proton sensing properties based on the rGO FET transducer were analyzed. The rGO FET device showed a high stability in the air ambient with a TTC encapsulation layer for months. The device showed an ambipolar characteristic with the Dirac point shift with varying the pH solutions. The sensing characteristics have offered the potential for the ion sensing application.

Li+-ion conducting ($Li_{3}PO_{4}$) thin films with thickness of $0.3{\mu}m$, $0.65{\mu}$, $1.2{\mu}$ were deposited on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrate at room temperature by thermal evaporation. They were sintered at $700^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, respectively. Reference electrode and sensing electrode were printed on Au-electrode by silk printing method. The EMF and the ${\Delta}EMF$/dec were increased with increasing the electrolyte thickness and sintering temperature. The sample sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ was shown a good response and recovery characteristics more than those sintered at $700^{\circ}C$. The Nernst's slop of 75 mV per decade was obtained at operating temperature of $500^{\circ}C$.

A new tubular poly(vinyl chloride) membrane type of nitrate selective electrode was prepared and its characteristics were evaluated. The response slope, detection limit, and response time (t$_{99}$) under the optimum membrane composition (5${\%}$ aliquat-NO$_3$ solution + 32${\%}$ poly(vinyl chloride) + 63${\%}$ dibutyl sebecate) of the electrode were 58.5 ${\pm}$ 0.1 mV/decade, 2.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ M, and 25 seconds, respectively. The nitrite ion was determined by the continuous-automated method using the new electrode. 10$^{-2}$ M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.6) was used as a recipient solution. And also hydrogen peroxide (0.3${\%}$) was added to the recipient as an oxidant. The linear response range and response range and response slope for the standard nitrite solution under the optimum condition of this electrode system were 8.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ M ∼ 5.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ M and 56.8 ${\pm}$ 0.2 mV/decade, respectively.

Field-effect transistor (FET)-based ion or biosensors have been intensively studied so far. Among many measurement methods, the variation of the drain current can be induced when ions or biomolecules are interacted with sensing membranes located on the gate insulator of FET. One of typical FET-type sensors is an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) utilized in this study. In ISFET, the voltage is usually applied to the reference electrode instead of the gate voltage. Firstly, the voltage applied to the reference electrode versus the drain current was observed, and the steepest slope in this graph was found. Using this point, the optimized condition was established for the larger variation of the drain current in the saturated region in response to the variation of the input in the dynamic range.

Previous matrices of potassium ion selective electrodes are generally based on PVC. In this study, however, the electrode membrane was prepared with polyurethane matrix containing potassium tetraphenyl borate as sensing materials and D-18-Crown-6 and 2-nitrophenyl-n-alkylethers as solvent mediator. The average life time of the K$^+$-selective electrode based on polyurethane was 75 days which is significantly longer than PVC based one. The slope factor in linear dynamic range ($1{\times}10^{-1}\;{\sim}\;1{\times}10^{-4}$ M) was 52 mV/decade. The electrode has been successfully applied to find end point in potentiometric titration of K$^+$ with tetraphenyl borate solution in the sea water, even in the presence of several interfering cations$(NH^{4+},\;Na^{+},\;Li^{+},\;Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$).

Nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid, disodium salt (NRS) was used as an organic ligand to prepare basic drug-selective polymeric membrane electrode. The sensing membrane of the electrode consited of basic drug-meta1(II)-NRS as an ion-exchanger site in a poly(vinyl chloride) matrix plasticized with 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE). The metal ions used were Fe$^{2+}$, Co$^{2+}$, Ni$^{2+}$ and Cu$^{2+}$. The electrodes exhibited fast and wide linear response in the basic drug concentration of 10$^{-5}$ ∼10$^{-3}$ mol/l with a response slope of 50∼60 mV/decade in a buffer solution of pH 4∼8. The electrodes exhibited good selectivity for many basic compounds.mpounds.

Ion-Sensitive Field-Effect Transistors(ISFETs) with LPCVD silicon nitride as a sensitive gate were fabricated on the basis of a CMOS process. The silicon nitride was deposited directly on a poly silicon gate-electrode. Using a specially designed measuring cell, the hydrogen ions sensing properties of the ISFET in liquid could be investigated without any bonding or encapsulation. At first, th sensitivity was estimated by simualtions according to the site-binding theory and the experimental results were analysed and compared with simulated results. The measured dta were in good agreement with the simulated results. The silicon nitride based ISFET has good linearity evaluated from correlation factor ($\geq$0.9998) and a mean pH-sensitivity of 56.8mV/pH. The maximum hysteresis width between forward(pH=3\longrightarrowpH=11)- and backward(pH=11\longrightarrowpH=3) titration was 16.7mV at pH=6.54.

This paper describes the development of a glucose biosensor based on ion sensitive field effect transistor(ISFET) with a palladium(Pd) modified ion sensing membrane. By adopting Pd as a hydrogen sensitive layer and integrating a screen-printed reference electrode, the sensitivity and stability were considerably improved due to the high permeability and selectivity of the Pd hydrogen selective membrane. This paper suggests a new approach for realizing portable and highly sensitive glucose sensors for diagnosing and treating diabetes mellitus.

A portable and disposable pH sensor based on Ti wire was successfully developed for monitoring hydronium ion concentrations. A sensing electrode was prepared by electrochemically depositing iridium oxide onto a Ti wire, while a reference electrode was fabricated by coating Ag/AgCl ink on a Ti wire. Combining the two electrodes in the pH sensor enabled the collection of open circuit potential signals when the sensor was immersed in solutions of various pH values. The pH sensor exhibited excellent electrochemical sensing performance in terms of sensitivity, response time, repeatability, selectivity, and stability. To demonstrate point-of-measurement applications, the pH sensor was integrated with a wireless electronic module that could communicate with a mobile application. The portable pH sensor accurately measured pH changes in real samples. The results obtained were consistent with those of using a commercial pH meter.

FET-type dissolved oxygen sensor has the Pt working electrode around the pH-ISFET. Appling a voltage to the working electrode, the hydrogen ion which is proportional to the dissolved oxygen concentration occurs around the pH sensing gate and we can measure the dissolved oxygen concentration by detecting pH concentration through the pH-ISFET. In this paper, a dissolved oxygen measurement system using FET-type dissolved oxygen sensor array which adopt a specific algorithm to enhance the reliability has been developed and we compared its performance with the commercial dissolved oxygen measurement system.
