Abstract

An inclusive survey of dielectric modulated (DM) biosensor field-effect transistors (Bio-FETs) has been discussed in this chapter. Biosensor field-effect transistors (Bio-FETs) have been appeared akin to essentially important contender as label-free biosensor that directs towards a considerable improvement in this area during the last ten years. This chapter proposes a common synopsis on Bio-FET, mentioning the fundamental physics of DM transduction and charge modulation methods. Subsequently, state-of-the-art improvements in DM Bio-FET have been talked about, as well as the consequences of device downscaling over transduction presentation has been usually highlighted. Later, various DM Bio-FET proposals for optimized transducer presentation have been examined depends on device electrostatical approach and mechanisms of carrier transportation. The relative advantage/disadvantage of this promising alternative of DM Bio-FET is further specified in this chapter. Here, an apparent conception of DM Bio-FET-based biosensors and the state-of-the-art research framework and future declaration with research confronts of this area are suitably detailed for concerned researchers.
