A field-effect transistor (FET) is one of the most commonly used semiconductor devices.
Recently, increasing interest has been given to FET-based biosensors owing totheir outstanding
benefits, which are likely to include a greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), fast measurement
capabilities, and compact or portable instrumentation. Thus far, a number of FET-based
biosensors have been developed to study biomolecular interactions, which are the key drivers
of biological responses in in vitro or in vivo systems. In this review, the detection principles
and characteristics of FET devices are described. In addition, biological applications of
FET-type biosensors and the Debye length limitation are discussed.
Keywords: Field-effect transistor, Biosensor, MOSFET, ISFET, Nanowire FET
