As biosensors are widely used in the medical field, flexible devices compatible with live animals have aroused great interest. Especially, significant research has been carried out to develop implantable or skin-attachable devices for real-time bio-signal sensing. From the device point of view, various biosensor types such as field-effect transistors (FETs) and multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) have been reported as diverse sensing strategies. In particular, the flexible FETs and MEAs allow semiconductor engineering to expand its application, which had been impossible with stiff devices and materials. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art research on flexible FET and MEA biosensors focusing on their materials, structures, sensing targets, and methods.

본 논문은 전기적 감지 방식 바이오센서의 개념을 리뷰하고, 의류 및 텍스트 기반의 바이오센서의 연구 사례를 조사하였다. 생체 신호를 측정 할 수 있는 바이오센서는 생물학적 감지 물질을 이용하여 생물학적 물질의 물리적, 화학적 특성을 감지하는 장치이다. 따라서 바이오센서를 사용하여 생체신호를 측정할 수 있는 웰니스 의류는 U-Health 서비스를 제공하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 기존 센서와 다르게 바이오센서의 차별화된 특징은 선택적 반응과 생물학적 물질의 결합을 사용한다는 점이다. 이러한 바이오센서 중 전기적 감지 바이오센서는 전기 신호의 처리로 인해 크기가 매우 작아 유비쿼터스 환경을 조성하는데 이용될 수 있다. 따라서 웰니스 의류를 개발하기 위해 소형화가 쉬운 전기적 감지 바이오센서를 연구할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기적 감지 바이오센서(전기화학적 방식, 나노와이어/탄소나노튜브 기반 FET 방식)에 대해 자세히 기술하였다. 마지막으로, 이러한 고찰을 통해 향후 웰니스 의류에 적용 가능할 바이오센서의 기술개발 방향을 제언하였다.

Recently, graphene and graphene-based materials such as graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphene oxide (R-GO) draws a great attention for electronic devices due to their structures of one atomic layer of carbon hexagon that have excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical properties and very high specific surface area that can be high potential for chemical functionalization. R-GO is a promising candidate because it can be prepared with low-cost from solution process by chemical oxidation and exfoliation using strong acids and oxidants to produce graphene oxide (GO) and its subsequent reduction. R-GO has been used as semiconductor or conductor materials as well as sensing layer for bio-molecules or ions. In this work, reduced graphene oxide field-effect transistor (R-GO FET) has been fabricated with ITO extended gate structure that has sensing area on ITO extended gate part. R-GO FET device was encapsulated by tetratetracontane (TTC) layer using thermal evaporation. A thermal annealing process was carried out at $140^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in the same thermal vacuum chamber to remove defects in R-GO film before deposition of TTC at $50^{\circ}C$ with thickness of 200 nm. As a result of this process, R-GO FET device has a very high stability and durability for months to serve as a transducer for sensing applications.

For next-generation electronic applications, human-machine interface devices have recently been demonstrated such as the wearable computer as well as the electronic skin (e-skin). For integration of those systems, it is essential to develop many kinds of components including displays, energy generators and sensors. In particular, flexible sensing devices to detect some stimuli like strain, pressure, light, temperature, gase and humidity have been investigated for last few decades. Among many condidates, a pressure sensing device based on organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is one of interesting structure in flexible touch displays, bio-monitoring and e-skin because of their flexibility. In this study, we have investigated a flexible e-skin based on highly sensitive, pressure-responsive OFETs using microstructured ferroelectric gate dielectrics, which simulates both rapidly adapting (RA) and slowly adatping (SA) mechanoreceptors in human skin. In SA-type static pressure, furthermore, we also demonstrate that the FET array can detect thermal stimuli for thermoreception through decoupling of the input signals from simultaneously applied pressure. The microstructured highly crystalline poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) possessing piezoelectric-pyroelectric properties in OFETs allowed monitoring RA- and SA-mode responses in dyanamic and static pressurizing conditions, which enables to apply the e-skin to bio-monitoring of human and robotics.

This paper presents a method for deposition an individual carbon nanotube (CNT). The alignment of a single CNT is very useful to perform studies related to applications in FET (Field Emitted Transistor), SET (Single Electron Transistor) and to make chemical sensor as well as bio sensors. In this study, we developed the deposition method of a CNT individualized in a solution. Using the electrokinetic method, we found the optimum conditions to assemble the nanotube and discussed about plausible explanation for the assembling mechanism. These results will be available to use for making the CNT sensor device.

In this letter, we propose the use of tunneling field effect transistors (TFET) as a biosensor that detects bio-molecules on the gate oxide. In TFET sensors, the charges of target molecules accumulated at the surface of the gate oxide bend the energy band of p-i-n structure and thus tunneling current varies with the band bending. Sensing parameters of TFET sensors such as threshold voltage ($V_t$) shift and on-current ($I_D$) change are extracted as a function of the charge variation. As a result, it is found that the performances of TFET sensors can surpass those of conventional FET (cFET) based sensors in terms of sensitivity. Furthermore, it is verified that the simultaneous sensing of two different target molecules in a TFET sensor can be performed by using the ambipolar behavior of TFET sensors. Consequently, it is revealed that two different molecules can be sensed simultaneously in a read-out circuit since the multi-sensing is carried out at equivalent current level by the ambipolar behavior.

We report a polysilicon active area membrane field effect transistor (PSAFET) pressure sensor for low stress deflection of membrane. The PSAFET was produced in conventional FET semiconductor fabrication and backside wet etching. The PSAFET located at the front side measured pressure change using 300 nm thin-nitride membrane when a membrane was slightly strained by the small deflection of membrane shape from backside with any physical force. The PSAFET showed high sensitivity around threshold voltage, because threshold voltage variation was composed of fractional function form in sensitivity equation of current variation. When gate voltage was biased close to threshold voltage, a fractional function form had infinite value at $V_{tn}$, which increased the current variation of sensitivity. Threshold voltage effect was dominant right after the PSAFET was turned on. Narrow transistor channel established by small current flow was choked because electron could barely cross drain-source electrodes. When gate voltage was far from threshold voltage, threshold voltage effect converged to zero in fractional form of threshold voltage variations and drain current change was mostly determined by mobility changes. As the PSAFET fabrication was compatible with a polysilicon FET in CMOS fabrication, it could be adapted in low pressure sensor and bio molecular sensor.

양친성의 성질을 가진 폴리디아세틸렌 단량체를 이용한 센서는 주로 수용액 상태에서 리포좀이나 또는 다른 구조를 이용하였다. 폴리디아세틸렌은 수용액 상에서 쉽게 구조를 형성하는 장점과 여러 광학적인 특성을 가지고 있어서 다양한 목적물질의 검출을 가능하게 하였다. 디아세틸렌 단량체는 수 nm의 크기의 분자로서 LB 필름 제조 방법을 이용하면 아주 얇은 단분자층 또는 다분자층으로 필름을 형성할 수 있게 된다. 이렇게 형성된 필름은 수용액상에서 만들어진 구조체와 같은 성질을 가진다. 즉 무색으로 형성된 구조체들은 254 nm에 조사를 시키면 파란색으로 변하게 되며 650 nm 부근에서 최대 흡수 파장을 가지게 된다. 파란색으로 형성된 구조체는 다양한 외부환경 (온도, pH, 용매 등)이나 목적물질 (바이러스, 단백질, 항체, DNA, 펩타이드 등)의 결합으로 약하게는 보라색에서 강하게는 붉은색으로 변하게 된다. 색전이가 이루어진 수용액이나 필름에서는 파란색에서는 존재하지 않던 형광이 630 nm 부근에서 최대 방출 파장이 나타나기도 한다. 따라서 가시적인 방법이나 형광 검출 방법을 이용하면 색이 변한 정도에 따라 특이성의 정도를 결정할 수 있는 좋은 센서 기술이 될 것으로 사료된다. 목적 물질 검출에 대한 연구 이외에 대부분의 폴리디아세틸렌은 색전이가 이루어진 후 가역적인 현상을 보이지 않는다. 그러나 적절하게 치환된 관능기는 가역적인 성질을 부여하게 된다. 이런 성질들을 내포하면서 막대 모양과 같은 견고한 실리카 구조체의 형성에 적용할 수 있다는 연구 결과가 보고되고 있다. 그러나 구조체를 형성하는 단량체는 비특이적인 결합을 할 수 있는 관능기 (-COOH, $-NH_2$ 등)을 포함하고 있기 때문에 선택적인 센서의 개발을 위해서는 개선해야 할 부분이다. 결론적으로 보완된 다양한 구조체와 센서 적용 기술은 현재의 표지방식을 기반으로 하는 감지 기술을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 비표지 센서로의 적용이 가능할 것으로 여겨진다.
