Abstract

In this paper, we propose a simple, low-temperature sol-gel preparation method for depositing thin-film transistors with zinc oxide (ZnO) semiconductor channel layer under oxygen treatment. A plasma method at a low power of 18 W is used to surface treatments. A novel floating-gate (FG) thin-film transistor structure is developed for detecting acid and alkaline standard buffer solutions. The hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the buffer are varied, resulting in a slight bias, and this indirectly affected the dielectric layer of the sensor. The device displays excellent pH sensitivity with an average voltage sensitivity of 562.5 mv/pH at pH values from 2 to 10, with optimal pH stability. This results in changes in the output of the electrical curve, which enables pH detection, which can be considered an excellent pH sensor.
