Embodiment 1

[0053] Next, refer to figure 1 A further concrete example 1 of the first exemplary embodiment will be described.

[0054] First, a silicon substrate 11 on which a 200 nm-thick thermal oxide film 10 is formed is prepared. Instead of the thermal oxide film 10, a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or the like deposited by a plasma CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method or a sputtering method may be used.

[0055] In addition, a 50-nm-thick oxide semiconductor film made of In—Ga—Zn—O was deposited on the silicon substrate 11 on which the thermally oxidized film 10 was formed by a sputtering method using a metal mask. At this time, a sintered object made of In-Ga-Zn-O was used, and a DC (Direct Current) sputtering method was used in a mixed gas atmosphere of argon and oxygen without heating the substrate. After deposition, it was annealed at 400° C. for one hour. The island-shaped semiconductor active layer 12 is formed by patterning the oxide semiconductor film.

Abstract

The ion sensors using TFT or MOSFET are low in the measurement sensitivity so that it is difficult to detect an extremely small amount of sensing-target substance. A TFT ion sensor includes both a gate electrode (a silicon substrate) and a reference electrode, in which the electrostatic capacitance of a gate insulating film (a thermal oxide film) is set to be larger than the electrostatic capacitance of an ion sensitive insulating film. Therefore, it is possible to detect the concentration of ions, hormones, and the like in a sensing-target substance from the shift in the threshold voltage of the gate-source voltage to source-drain current property.
