In recent years, the rapid expansion of research and application of the Internet of Things and wearable electronics has prompted the development of a variety of sensors to perceive physical or chemical information from both the human body and the environment, among which the proximity sensor is a kind of noncontact sensor used to detect the approach of a target and thus exhibits promising applications in human−machine interactions. Thin-film transistors are one type of key components in modern electronics and have been further developed as electrostatic-induction-type proximity sensors to perceive the approach of electrically charged objects. However, they are immune to the approach of a zero-potential object. Capacitive-induction-type proximity sensors are capable of detecting the approach of conductive targets while being less sensitive to insulated ones. Integration of both electrostatic and capacitive induction mechanisms into one proximity sensor is highly expected to broaden its perception to a variety of targets. Here, an interdigital electrode was introduced as an extended gate into an amorphous metal oxide thin-film transistor to construct proximity sensors that combine both electrostatic and capacitive induction mechanisms and therefore can sensitively perceive the approach of a variety of objects that were electrically charged, grounded, or floated. Besides proximity sensing, remote velocity measurement and positioning of an invasive object were also realized, which further extended its functions as a kind of interdigital-electrode gate transistor.
