Label-free discovery of DNA has long been excellently exhibited on field effect transistor (FET) based devices. Because conducting organic materials was found and have lured a lot more research efforts by their deep benefits, this report will concentrate on using an organic field effect transistor (OFET) as DNA sensor. An OFET designed with a transporting fluidic channel, WetOFET, forms a fluid-polymer (active layer) interface where the probe DNA could be introduced. DNA hybridization and non-hybridization after injecting target DNA and non-target DNA had been closely watched by transistor characteristics. The Hysteresis area of transfer curve improved after DNA hybridization that may be due to the growing electrostatic screening induced by the increasing negative charge from target DNA. The different morphology of coating surface may possibly also impact the OFET response…
