Various groups of industrial and agricultural pollutants (heavy metal ions, cyanides, and pesticides) can be detected by enzymes. Since heavy metal ions inhibit urease, cyanides inhibit peroxidase, organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides inhibit butyrylcholinesterase, these enzymes were co-immobilized into a bovine serum albumin gel on the surface of an ion-sensitive field effect transistor to create a bioprobe that is sensitive to the compounds mentioned above. The sensitivity of the present sensor towards KCN corresponded to $1\;\mu\textrm{M}$ with 1 min of incubation time. The detection limits for Hg(II) ions and the pesticide carbofuran were 0.1 and $0.5\;\mu\textrm{M}$, respectively, when a 10 min sensor incubation time in contaminated samples was chosen. The total time for determining the concentrations of all species mentioned did not exceed 20 min.

ISFET을 측정할 때 다채널 센서를 이용하면 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있고 노이즈를 제거할 수 있다. 향후 하나의 소자를 이용하여 여러 가지 이온을 측정할 수 있는 센서를 제조하기 위해서도 다채널 센서는 반드시 필요한 과정이다. 그러나 다채널 센서를 개발시 각 센서에 개별적으로 바이어스를 인가한다면 센서의 개수만큼 바이어스 회로가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 영전위회로에 스위칭방식을 도입하여 4개의 pH-ISFET을 바이어스 하는 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 회로는 4개의 센서에 대해 단지 하나의 바이어스 회로가 필요하므로 개별적인 바이어스 인가방식에 비해 전력을 적게 소모하며 적은 면적에 구현할 수 있다. 제안된 회로는 이산소자를 이용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 또한 최근 센서시스템이 휴대화 되어지는 경향에 따라 검증된 바이어스 회로를 CMOS를 이용하여 집적화 하였다. 설계된 바이어스 회로의 마스크 면적은 $660{\mu}m{\times}500{\mu}m$이다. ISFET은 반도체 집적회로 공정에 의해 제조되므로 향후 CMOS를 이용한 신호처리 회로와 함께 하나의 칩에 집적화 하여 다기능, 다채널, 그리고 지능형의 스마트센서 시스템으로 개발되어져야 바람직할 것이다.

Nature utilizes various of the colorization process. Some species of birds can express their mood of tempers by changing their collagen structures on skin. For example, turkey can change their skin color by expansion of the collagen structures, which are associated with the distinct color changes. Here, we developed bioinspired virus-based colorimetric sensors which can be genetically tuned for target molecule. Using M 13 bacteriophage, we fabricated responsive self-assembled color matrices composed of quasi-ordered fiber bundle structures. These virus matrices can exhibit color change by stimuli through fiber bundle structure modulation. Upon exposure of volatile organic compounds, the resulting multi-colored matrices exhibited distinct color changes with different ratios that can be recognized by the naked eyes. Using the directed evolutionary approaches, we genetically engineered the virus matrix to incorporate binding motif for explosive detection (i.e., trinitrotoluene (TNT)). Through utilizing a common handheld device (i.e., iPhone), we could distinguish TNT molecules down to 20 ppb in a selective manner. Our novel biomimetic virus colorimetric sensor can overcome current limitation for low response selectivity.

On-chip micro humidity sensor, using $CN_x$ films for the sensing material, was designed, simulated, and fabricated with Op amp based readout circuit and diode temperature sensors. To compensate the temperature and other gases, two methods were applied. One is wheatstone-bridge with reference FET that eliminates other undesirable chemical species, and the other is a diode temperature sensor to compensate the temperature effect. $CN_x$ film can be a new humidity sensing material, and has a strong potential to adapt to smart sensors or multi-sensors using MEMS or nano-technology. A particular design technology for integration of sensors and systems together was proposed that whole fabrication process could be achieved by a standard CMOS process.

Recently, several ICT-based cat studies have produced some successful results, according to academic and industry sources. However, research on the level of simply identifying the cat's condition, such as the behavior and sound classification of cats based on images and sound signals, has yet to be found. In this paper, based on the veterinary scientific knowledge of cats, a practical and academic cat monitoring and disease diagnosis system is proposed to monitor the health status of the cat 24 hours a day by automatically categorizing and analyzing the behavior of the cat with location information using LSTM with a beacon sensor and a raspberry pie that can be built at low cost. Validity of the proposed system is verified through experimentation with cats in actual custody (the accuracy of the cat behavior classification and location identification was 96.3% and 92.7% on average, respectively). Furthermore, a rule-based disease analysis system based on the veterinary knowledge was designed and implemented so that owners can check whether or not the cats have diseases at home (or can be used as an auxiliary tool for diagnosis by a pet veterinarian).

A highly sensitive electrochemical detection method for bisphenol A (BPA) has been developed by using multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT)-doped titania-Nafion composite modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards BPA. Therefore, the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode showed improved voltammetric responses for BPA compared to that obtained with bare GC electrode. In addition, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant, was added into the BPA sample solution in order to accumulate BPA through hydrophobic interaction between CTAB and BPA. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode gave a linear response ($r^2$ = 0.999) for BPA from $1.0{\times}10^{-8}$ M to $5.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M with a detection limit of $9.0{\times}10^{-10}$ M (S/N = 3). The modified electrode showed good selectivity against interfering species and also exhibited good reproducibility. The present electrochemical sensor based on the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode was applied to the determination of BPA in food package samples.

가스센서는 그 용도에 따라서, 자동차용(배출가스, 연료혼합 가스, 산소, 분진), 농수산 식품산업용(신선도, 저장, $CO_2$, 습도, $NH_3$, 질소산화물 가스, 유기가스, 농약 및 살충제로부터 방출되는 유독가스), 산업 의료용(석유화학제품 가스, 수소, 산소, 유독가스), 군사용(화학무기 가스), 환경 측정용(CO를 비롯한 황과 질소 등으로 구성된 대기오염가스), 가정용(LNG, LPG, 부탄, 실내공기, 습도) 등으로 매우 다양하게 사용하고 있다. 산업 현장의 유해물질 종류는 약 700종으로 알려져 있으며 이들 중 대다수의 물질은 일반적인 환경 조건에서 가스 형태로 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 유독 가스들 중에서 차량 내부 등의 밀폐된 공간에서 발생하기 쉬운 중요한 탄소(CO), 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 암모니아 ($NH_3$)의 세 가지 가스를 검출하는 휴대용 가스센서 모듈을 구현하고자 한다. 유독 가스 중에서도 가장 인명 사고의 중요한 요소인 NH3, $CO_2$, CO의 3종류 가스를 검출하는 다중 가스검출 센서에 대해 연구한다.
