Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dispense with adjustment of the voltage applied to a reference electrode and to impart stable sensitivity characteristics. SOLUTION: In ISFET(ion sensitive field-effect transistor), a drain region 2 and a source region 3 are formed on the main surface of a P-type silicon substrate 1 in a spaced-apart state and an ion responsive film 6 is formed on the channel part 4 between both regions 2, 3 through a gate insulating film 5. A constant voltage MOSFET 20 having threshold voltage almost the same as the shreshold voltage of the ISFET is inserted in the region between a reference electrode 30 and the source electrode 8 of the ISFET. In the constant voltage MOSFET 20, a drain and a gate are connected to the reference electrode 30 and a source is connected to the source electrode 8 of the ISFET. A series circuit of a current control resistor R and a voltage source V1 is connected between the drain and source of the constant voltage MOSFET 20 in parallel.
