Abstract

Charge Modulated OTFTs represent a versatile tool for the realization of a wide range of sensing applications. The architecture is based on a floating gate organic transistor whose sensitivity to a specific target is obtained by properly functionalizing a part of the floating gate with a sensing layer that can be chosen according to the specific external stimulus to be sensed. In this work we will show that such devices can be routinely fabricated on highly flexible, ultra-conformable thin films and that they can be employed, with no need of any chemical modification of the sensing area, for monitoring pH variations featuring a super-nernstian sensitivity. Interestingly, we will also show that the proposed approach has been applied for monitoring cell metabolic activity, demonstrated with a preliminary validation. In addition this device can be used for monitoring electrical activity of excitable cells, thus giving rise to a new family of highly sensitive, reference-less, and low-cost devices for a wide range of bio-sensing applications. Finally, we will also demonstrate that using a different sensing layer it is possible to employ the same device architecture for the realization of matrices of multimodal tactile transducers capable to detect at the same time temperature and pressure stimuli, and that being fabricated on sub-micrometer thin film can be conformably transferred on whatever kind of surface allowing the reproduction of the sense of touch.
