By means of the monolithic integrated circuit techniques with the plasma polymerization method, a reference field effect transistor (REFET) has been developed to be used with the ion-selective field effect transistors (ISFET’s). The gate insulator of the REFET is coated with a plasma polymerized styrene film. It was used in combination with the pH-ISFET to determine pH values. Experimental results compared favorably with those from the convetional glass electrode method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
