  • Sub-Threshold Capfet Sensor for Sensing Analyte, A Method and System Thereof
    Publication number: 20110031986
    Abstract: The present invention relates to high sensitivity chemical sensors, more particularly relates to high sensitivity chemical sensors which are capacitively coupled, FET based analyte sensors. A sub-threshold capacitively coupled Field Effect Transistor (CapFET) sensor for sensing an analyte comprises fixed dielectric placed on substrate of the CapFET and second dielectric sensitive to the analyte, placed between gate terminal of the CapFET and the fixed dielectric, wherein presence of the analyte alters either dielectric constant of the second dielectric or work function of the gate.
