The electrical characteristics of an insulated gate field effect transistor (FET) based on an intrinsic molecular semiconductor, bis(phthalocyaninato)lutetium (Pc\*Lu), are described. All the usual parameters of conventional devices are determined; the threshold voltage ( -2 V), the transconductance

β¦ Synopsis
The pH response of a pH-sensitive fieldeffect transistor (FET) is not affected by a ca. l-pm thick membrane formed from r-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and glutaraldehyde over the gate insulator by a vapor deposition method. The response between pH 5.5 and 8.5 is ca. 61 mV pH-' at 37Β°C in 5 mM Tris-HCl buffer. When urease is immobilized on the membrane, the sensor gives a linear relationship between the initial rate of the output gate voltage change and the logarithmic value of urea concentration between 16.7 and 167 mM. Determination of urea is possible within 30 s. The optimum pH is 6.0-6.5, at 37Β°C. The system can be used for 20 days with only slight loss of enzymatic activity.
