Latest Patents
Thomas Gredig holds a patent for an "Ultra-thin organic TFT chemical sensor, making thereof, and sensing method." This invention features an organic thin film transistor chemical sensor that includes a substrate. The design incorporates a gate electrode that is isolated from drain and source electrodes by a gate dielectric. An organic ultra-thin semiconductor thin film is arranged with respect to the gate, source, and drain electrodes to act as a conduction channel in response to appropriate gate, source, and drain potentials. The organic ultra-thin film is permeable to a chemical analyte of interest and consists of one or a few atomic or molecular monolayers of material. An example sensor array system includes a plurality of sensors of the invention. In a preferred embodiment, a sensor chip having a plurality of sensors is mounted in a socket, providing thermal and electrical interference isolation for the sensor chip from associated sensing circuitry mounted on a common substrate, such as a PCB (printed circuit board). The method of operating this sensor involves exposing it to a suspected analyte and applying a low duty cycle voltage pulse train to the gate electrode to reduce baseline drift while sensing for a conduction channel change. He has 1 patent to his name.
