Organic electrochemical
transistors (OECTs) have emerged
as powerful
tools for biosignal amplification, including electrocorticography
(ECoG). However, their widespread application has been limited by
the complexities associated with existing fabrication techniques,
restricting accessibility and scalability. Here, we introduce a novel
all-planar, all-printed high-performance OECT device that significantly
enhances the accuracy and sensitivity of ECoG recordings. Achieved
through an innovative three-step drop-on-demand inkjet printing process
on flexible substrates, our device offers a rapid response time of
0.5 ms, a compact channel area of 1950 μm2, and is
characterized by a transconductance of 11 mS. This process not only
simplifies integration but also reduces costs. Our
optimized in-plane gate voltage control facilitates operation at peak
transconductance, which elevates the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by
up to 133%. In vivo evaluations in a rat model of seizure demonstrate
the device’s performance in recording distinct electrographic
phases, surpassing the capabilities of PEDOT:PSS-coated gold-based
ultralow impedance passive electrodes, achieving a high SNR of 48
db. Our results underscore the potential of Inkjet-printed OECTs
in advancing the accessibility and accuracy of diagnostic tools
that could enhance patient care by facilitating timely detection of
neurological conditions.
