Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we present a differential-mode biosensor using dual extended-gate metal--oxide--semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), which possesses the advantages of both the extended-gate structure and the differential-mode operation. The extended-gate MOSFET was fabricated using a 0.6 μm standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The Au extended gate is the sensing gate on which biomolecules are immobilized, while the Pt extended gate is the dummy gate for use in the differential-mode detection circuit. The differential-mode operation offers many advantages such as insensitivity to the variation of temperature and light, as well as low noise. The outputs were measured using a semiconductor parameter analyzer in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4) solution. A standard Ag/AgCl reference electrode was used to apply the gate bias. We measured the variation of output voltage with time, temperature, and light intensity. The bindings of self-assembled monolayer (SAM), streptavidin, and biotin caused a variation in the output voltage of the differential-mode detection circuit and this was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiment. Biotin molecules could be detected up to a concentration of as low as 0.001 μg/ml.
