Abstract

A method for detecting artificial DNA using solution-processed In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) was developed. The IGZO TFT had a field-effect mobility ( FET) of 0.07 cm 2/Vs and an on-current (I on) value of about 2.68 A. A dry-wet method was employed to immobilize double-crossover (DX) DNA onto the IGZO surface. After DX DNA immobilization, significant decreases in FET (0.02 cm 2/Vs) and I on (0.247 A) and a positive shift of threshold voltage were observed. These results were attributed to the negatively charged phosphate groups on the DNA backbone, which generated electrostatic interactions in the TFT device.
