Plastic potentiometric ion-selective sensor and fabrication thereof

Abstract

The present invention discloses a plastic potentiometric ion-selective sensor based on field-effect transistors which can be fabricated to form the miniaturized component via sputtering and/or printing method. A plastic potentiometric ion-selective sensor doesn't need an additional bias voltage to convert the signals. The disclosed plastic sensor comprises a plastic substrate, at least one working electrode formed on the plastic substrate, a reference electrode printed on the substrate, and a golden finger printed on the plastic substrate. The golden finger is for electrically coupling with the external world and for outward transmission of signals detected at the working electrode and the reference electrode. The disclosed plastic potentiometric ion-selective sensor is replaceable.
