Abstract

The possibility of a label-free electrical detection of charged macromolecules using semiconductor field-effect sensors offers a new approach for the development of DNA chips with fast and direct electrical readout. A deep understanding of the adsorption and interaction of charged biomolecules onto charged surfaces is of great interest also for the fundamental understanding of many key physiological processes. In the present work, two types of field-effect sensors, namely a capacitive EIS (electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor) structure and an ISFET (ion-sensitive field-effect transistor) have been utilised for monitoring layer-by-layer adsorption of polyelectrolytes as well as for the DNA immobilisation and hybridisation detection.
