ABSTRACT:
A chemical sensor includes a thin film transistor with a gate positioned on one side. An insulating layer is positioned on the opposite side and an indicator film is positioned on the insulating layer in generally opposed relationship to the gate. Induced charge in the indicator film caused by a biological or chemical species changes the channel current in the transistor. A potential on the gate is then used to null out the resulting change in channel current. The potential used to null out the current change is an extremely sensitive measure of the induced charge.
