Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit miniaturization and stable measurement of a material to be measured in a measuring liquid by using an FET ion sensor as a reference electrode in the stage of measuring said material in the measuring liquid. CONSTITUTION:The FET ion sensor formed with an ion selective film to measure a material except the material to be measured in the measuring sample liquid as an object to be measured in the gate region of an insulated gate type transistor is used as the reference electrode in the stage of measuring the material to be measured in the measuring liquid. The FET sensor to measure the material, with which the fluctuation of the ion concn. thereof is negligible, except the material to be measured as the object to be measured in multi-ISFET to be used for measurement is used as the reference electrode and therefore, the integration with the ISFET for measurement and miniaturization are possible. Since the sensor itself has the effect of an impedance converter, the measurement can be made with substantially no influence of noise.

Among such ion-selective electrodes, FET ion sensors, in which an ion-sensitive membrane is formed on the gate of an insulated gate type FE'l', have been attracting attention instead of conventional ion-selective electrodes. Ta. This is because multiple i'g'r ion sensors can be manufactured at the same time by using the silicon process used to make transistors, ICs, LSIs, etc., making it easy to multiplex and downsize. This is because it can be mass-produced and can be expected to reduce costs. Since such FkT ion sensors are suitable for miniaturization and multiplexing, various multi-type FET ion sensors (hereinafter also referred to as multi-I5FETs) that target a plurality of measurement items have been devised.

By the way, even in such a 'nT ion sensor,
As with a normal ion sensor, when measuring ions R&, it is necessary to use a reference electrode and determine the potential difference between the reference electrode and the measurement electrode. Conventionally, as such a reference electrode, for example, a saturated plaster electrode, a silver-silver chloride electrode, etc. have been used.

Standard 1 like this! In order to use the electrode in a stable state, an electrolyte solution is required to generate a reference potential in contact with the internal electrodes that make up the electrode. had to be much larger than the Fk and T ion sensors. Therefore, these standards 1Jc#A are multi-l5F
Incorporating it for ET was a problem because the features of the multi-l8FET, which incorporates multiple multi-types aimed at miniaturization, could not be utilized.

Even if the above-mentioned reference electrode having such a basic configuration were miniaturized and incorporated into a multi-l5FET, the amount of electrolyte in contact with the internal electrode would inevitably be small, resulting in poor stability as a reference TT electrode. On the other hand, a small reference electrode with an ion-insensitive film formed on the gate of an insulated gate field effect transistor has been considered, and various tests have been repeated. However, no reference electrode with a long-life ion-insensitive membrane has been developed so far.

In the method for measuring ion concentration according to the present invention, a multi-I8Fj (T) FET sensor whose measurement target is a substance whose ion density fluctuation can be ignored other than the substance to be measured is used as a reference electrode. It is possible to integrate it with an 18FET for measurement and make it smaller.Furthermore, when an ion-selective electrode with a configuration other than a conventional 18FET is used as a reference electrode, the resistance of the ion-selective membrane is large, causing noise during measurement. There are some problems, such as the fact that it is easy to pick up
When an FffT sensor is used as a reference electrode, since the sensor itself functions as an impedance converter, measurement can be performed with almost no influence from noise.
