During recent years, field-effect transistor biosensors (Bio-FET) for biomedical applications have experienced a robust development with evolutions in FET characteristics as well as modification of bio-receptor structures. This review initially provides contemplation on this progress by briefly summarizing remarkable studies on two aforementioned aspects. The former includes fabricating unprecedented nanostructures and employing novel materials for FET transducers whereas the latter primarily synthesizes compact molecules as bio-probes (antibody fragments and aptamers). Afterwards, a future perspective on research of FET-biosensors is also predicted depending on current situations as well as its great demand in clinical trials of disease diagnosis. From these points of view, FET-biosensors with infinite advantages are expected to continuously advance as one of the most promising tools for biomedical applications.

DNA aptamers have the ability to bind to target molecules with high selectivity and therefore have a wide range of clinical applications. Herein, a graphene substrate functionalized with a DNA aptamer is used to sense immunoglobulin E. The graphene serves as the conductive substrate in this field-effect-transistor-like (FET-like) structure. A voltage probe in an electrolyte is used to sense the presence of IgE as a result of the changes in the charge distribution that occur when an IgE molecule binds to the IgE DNA-based aptamer. Because IgE is an antibody associated with allergic reactions and immune deficiency-related diseases, its detection is of utmost importance for biomedical applications.

The Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology has evolved to a great extent and is being used for different applications like environmental, biomedical, radiofrequency and switching, etc. Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) based biosensors are used for detecting various enzymes, molecules, pathogens and antigens efficiently with a less time-consuming process involved in comparison to other options. Early-stage detection of disease is easily possible using Field-Effect Transistor (FET) based biosensors. In this paper, a steep subthreshold heavily doped n+ pocket asymmetrical junctionless MOSFET is designed for biomedical applications by introducing a nanogap cavity region at the gate-oxide interface. The nanogap cavity region is introduced in such a manner that it is sensitive to variation in biomolecules present in the cavity region. The analysis is based on dielectric modulation or changes due to variation in the bio-molecules present in the environment or the human body. The analysis of proposed asymmetrical junctionless MOSFET with nanogap cavity region is carried out with different dielectric materials and variations in cavity length and height inside the gate–oxide interface. Further, this device also showed significant variation for changes in different introduced charged particles or region materials, as simulated through a 2D visual Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) device simulator.

The attachment and interactions of analyte receptor biomolecules at solid–liquid interfaces are critical to development of hybrid biological–synthetic sensor devices across all size regimes. We use protein engineering approaches to engineer the sensing interface of biochemically modified field effect transistor sensors (BioFET). To date, we have deposited analyte receptor proteins on FET sensing channels by direct adsorption, used self-assembled monolayers to tether receptor proteins to planar FET SiO 2 sensing gates and demonstrated interface biochemical function and electrical function of the corresponding sensors. We have also used phage display to identify short peptides that recognize thermally grown SiO 2 . Our interest in these peptides is as affinity domains that can be inserted as translational fusions into receptor proteins (antibody fragments or other molecules) to drive oriented interaction with FET sensing surfaces. We have also identified single-chain fragment variables (scFvs, antibody fragments) that recognize an analyte of interest as potential sensor receptors. In addition, we have developed a protein engineering technology (scanning circular permutagenesis) that allows us to alter protein topography to manipulate the position of functional domains of the protein relative to the BioFET sensing surface.
