Article Abstract
We detect short oligonucleotides and distinguish between sequences that differ by a single base, using label-free, electronic field-effect transistors (FETs). Our sensing platform utilizes ultrathin-film indium oxide FETs chemically functionalized with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The ssDNA-functionalized semiconducting channels in FETs detect fully complementary DNA sequences and differentiate these sequences from those having different types and locations of single base-pair mismatches. Changes in charge associated with surface-bound ssDNA vs double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) alter FET channel conductance to enable detection due to differences in DNA duplex stability. We illustrate the capability of ssDNA-FETs to detect complementary RNA sequences and to distinguish from RNA sequences with single nucleotide variations. The development and implementation of electronic biosensors that rapidly and sensitively detect and differentiate oligonucleotides present new opportunities in the fields of disease diagnostics and precision medicine.

Context: This study investigates the radiation tolerance of a SiGe source vertical tunnel field effect transistor (VTFET) under heavy ion-induced single event effects (SEEs). Single event effects (SEEs) occur when high-energy particles interact with semiconductor devices, leading to unintended behavior. The effect of high energy ions on the VTFET is examined for various linear energy transfer (LET) values and at multiple ion hit locations.

The monolayer transistor, where the semiconductor layer is a single molecular layer, offers an ideal platform for exploring transport mechanisms both theoretically and experimentally by eliminating the influence of spatially correlated microstructure. However, the structure-property relations in polymer monolayers remain poorly understood, leading to low transistor performance to date. Herein, a self-confinement effect is demonstrated in the polymer monolayer with nanofibrillar microstructures and edge-on orientation, as characterized by the 4D scanning confocal electron diffraction method.

While fluorene-containing materials are widely used in organic optoelectronics as bright emitters and hole semiconductors, their diazafluorene analogues have been poorly explored, though their nitrogen atoms could result in electron transport and bring sensory abilities. Here, we report the synthesis, characterization, and detailed study of a series of 4,5-diazafluorene-derivatives with different donor/acceptor substituents and organic semiconductors based on these molecules. The crystal structures of all the materials were solved by X-ray diffraction, indicating the presence of extensive π-stacking and anisotropic charge-transfer pathways.

The relentless scaling of semiconductor technology demands materials beyond silicon to sustain performance improvements. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly MoS, offer excellent electronic properties; however, achieving scalable and CMOS-compatible fabrication remains a critical challenge. Here, we demonstrate a scalable and BEOL-compatible approach for the direct wafer-scale growth of MoS devices using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) at temperatures below 450 °C, fully compliant with CMOS thermal budgets.

Chemical doping has emerged as a powerful approach for modulating the electronic properties of graphene, and particularly for enabling its integration into advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices. While considerable progress has been made in achieving stable p-type doping, realizing efficient and reliable n-type doping remains a greater challenge due to the inherent instability of most electron-donating dopants and intrinsic semi-metallic nature of pristine graphene. This review summarises the recent developments in n-type chemical doping of graphene films, with a primary focus on substitutional doping and surface charge transfer mechanisms.
