Abstract
The University of Central Florida invention is a new type of organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) called the plasmonic OECT (POECT). The invention leverages the near-field effect of plasmonics to increase the sensitivity of OECTs. Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) marked a rapid growth in recent years due to their attractive applications in biosensing, neuromorphic computing and human-machine interface systems. Among all biosensors, OECTs have advantages of high sensitivity, flexibility, biocompatibility, and ease-of-fabrication for commercial applications. The critical and most useful characteristics of the OECT are:
- High transconductance (making it highly sensitive)
- The low working voltage required for wearable medical sensing—includes biomolecules (enzyme and enzyme-free biomolecules), bacteria, viruses and cells
