Abstract

An ultrasensitive pressure sensor integrated thin-film transistor (TFT) was fabricated by using In-Sn–Zn-O (ITZO) thin film as an active channel layer and hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods (ZnO NRs) as a sensing layer, in which polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film was used as a charge coupling layer between the ZnO NRs and the active channel. When an external mechanical pressure is applied to the ZnO NRs, piezo-induced charges generated within the ZnO NRs modulate the charge density in the channel of the ITZO TFT. This modulation effectively alters the drain-source current of the TFT, thereby enabling the sensor to detect and respond to the applied pressure. The integrated sensor exhibits a good response to external pressure, and the sensitivity can be significantly regulated by the gate-bias voltage, and the sensitivity in the subthreshold region is higher than that in the ON-state region with a regulation ratio of 157.6, the highest sensitivity of 0.57 kPa-1, and a response time of 33 ms. Meanwhile, the integrated pressure sensor can be employed to detect subtle external force stimulation, such as the generated output voltage of 250 mV under an external pressure of 35 mg. It is demonstrated that the integrated sensor has potential applications in milli-micro Newton-level force measurement and high-sensitive tactile perception.
集成snzno薄膜晶体管的超灵敏zno -纳米棒结构压力传感器
以in- sn - zn - o (ITZO)薄膜为有源沟道层,水热生长ZnO纳米棒(ZnO NRs)为传感层,聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)薄膜作为ZnO NRs与有源沟道之间的电荷耦合层,制备了一种超灵敏集成薄膜晶体管(TFT)压力传感器。当外加机械压力作用于ZnO NRs时,ZnO NRs内产生的压电感应电荷调节了ITZO TFT通道中的电荷密度。这种调制有效地改变了TFT的漏源电流,从而使传感器能够检测并响应施加的压力。集成传感器对外部压力具有良好的响应,灵敏度可受栅极偏置电压的显著调节,且亚阈值区灵敏度高于on状态区,调节比为157.6,灵敏度最高为0.57 kPa-1,响应时间为33 ms。同时,集成压力传感器可以检测细微的外力刺激,如在35 mg的外部压力下产生的输出电压为250 mV。结果表明,该传感器在毫微米牛顿级力测量和高灵敏度触觉感知方面具有潜在的应用前景。
