The development of a new type of microsensors based on chemically sensitive field-effect transistors (CHEMFETs) covered with polymeric bulk ion-partitioning membranes is presented. For the construction of the microsensor, a PVC plasticized membrane containing two ionophores, one selective to protons and the other to the analyte cation of interest, is placed on the gate of a pH sensitive field-effect transistor which acts as the transducer. With the use of thin (5–10 μm) ion-partitioning membranes onto the pH-sensitive ISFET gate, the proton displacement out of the membrane and to the pH sensitive gate is fast and reversible. This displacement generates a signal that is directly related to the analyte concentration found in the test solution. Comparing the performance of CHEMFETs and ISEs selective to the monovalent potassium cation and the divalent calcium ion validates this novel CHEMFET response mechanism.
