“…In 1983, Spiegel et al introduced the concept of an extended-gate field-effect transistor (EGFET) to replace the traditional ISFET, with advantages such as a low price, simple structure, easy packaging, long-term stability, light- and temperature-sensitivity, and disposable gate electrodes [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. The ion-sensing membrane is separated from the gate of the MOSFET, and only the sensing membrane is immersed in the target solution to detect many target species, such as ions, chemicals, proteins, and viruses, while protecting the MOSFET from chemical damage [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. However, conventional ISFETs, including EGFETs, despite their many advantages, have a fundamental limitation of sensitivity, referred to as the Nernstian limit, which severely restricts the commercial application of FET-type sensors.…”
