Popis: In this study, an amorphous tin oxide (SnO 2 ) obtained by thermal evaporation was used as a pH-sensitive material for pH-ISFETs. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) curves of the EIS diode were used to evaluate pH response of SnO 2 thin film. Subsequently, SnO 2 /SiO 2 gate ISFET was fabricated and pH sensitivity was determined through a shift in the threshold voltage of an ISFET sensor. The experimental data show that the SnO 2 /SiO 2 gate ISFET sensors have a linear pH response of about 58 mV pH −1 in a concentration range between pH 2 and pH 10. In addition, the other characteristics of this sensor, such as temperature effect, drift effect, hysteresis and response time were also investigated in this paper.
