摘要:Solution-processable organic semiconductors have been investigated not only for flexible and large-area electronics but also in the field of biotechnology. In this paper, we report the design and fabrication of biosensors based on completely organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). The active material of the OTFTs is poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-bithiophene) (F8T2) polymer functionalized with biotin hydrazide. The relationship between the chemoresistive change and the binding of avidin-biotin moieties in the polymer is observed in the output and on/off characteristics of the OTFTs. The exposure of the OTFTs to avidin causes a lowering of ID at = -40 V and = -40 V of nearly five orders of magnitude.
