Abstract
The past 40 years since the introduction of enzyme field-effect transistor (ENFET) in 1976 has been invaluable towards the development of biological sensors. Many devices came up with its own merits and demerits which made this area of research very popular worldwide. When the biological materials such as living organisms, cells, enzymes, DNA, etc., were combined with ISFET, BioFETs came up. By detailed study of the BioFETs one finds that most of the devices were formed of Si-based ISFETs. Though these devices have many advantages but when it came to sub 22 nm range, scaling problems arose which led to power dissipation, leakage, short channel effects, etc. To overcome these problems researchers opted for the use of carbon nanotubes (CNT) as channel material which gave better scalability, reduced power dissipation, better control over channel formation, etc. The complex fabrication process of the traditional Si-based devices was also simplified by introduction of junctionless CNTFETs. This paper puts forward a study of advances and developments of various BioFETs starting with ENFET and continuing with junctionless CNTFET till date.
