Chemical Field-Effect Transistor

A ChemFET is a type of field-effect transistor that can function as a chemical sensor. It is similar in structure to a MOSFET but uses a chemical process instead of electrical charge on its gate electrode. ChemFETs can be used to detect ions, atoms, and molecules in liquids and gases. The most well-known type of ChemFET is the ISFET, which detects ions in electrolytes. Another variant is the ENFET, which uses enzymes to detect specific biomolecules.

Chemical field-effect transistor

Chemical field-effect transistor


ChemFET, or chemical field-effect transistor, is a type of a field-effect transistor acting as a chemical sensor. It is a structural analog of a MOSFET transistor, where the charge on the gate electrode is applied by a chemical process. It may be used to detect atoms, molecules, and ions in liquids and gases. ISFET, an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor, is the best known subtype of ChemFET devices. It is used to detect ions in electrolytes. ENFET is a CHEMFET specialized for detection of specific biomolecules using enzymes.
