A (Bio-)Chemical Field-Effect Sensor with Macroporous Si as Substrate Material and a SiO2 / LPCVD-Si3N4 Double Layer as pH Transducer

Abstract: Macroporous silicon has been etched from n-type Si, using a vertical etching cell where no rear side contact on the silicon wafer is necessary. The resulting macropores have been characterised by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). After etching, SiO 2 was thermally grown on the top of the porous silicon as an insulating layer and Si 3 N 4 was deposited by means of Low Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (LPCVD) as transducer material to fabricate a capacitive pH sensor. In order to prepare porous bio… Show more

“…Furthermore, the extracted pH voltage linearity for the oxygen-plasma-treated CNTFs is 0.9996 which is significantly better than 0.9810 for the as-sprayed ones. Based on the Nernst equation [25], the theoretical value of voltage sensitivity for the pH sensing is about 59.1 mV/pH. In other words, our experimental results of 55.7 mV/pH for the oxygen-plasmatreated CNTFs present a much better response with respect to the as-sprayed CNTFs.…”
