Abstract:
The evolution and expansion of transistors caused a revolution in the electronics field in the last decade. The continuous investigation, research, and development to improve the quality of the systems increased drastically when appeared new semiconductor materials and its application in transistors. The synthesis of those semiconductor polymers created a new generation of transistors, the organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). This project develops and study how works a calcium membrane using an organic electrochemical transistor. They operate as a transducer from a chemical phenomenon into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is read through its characterization and calibration being able to take different analytical parameters from the response. The ion-selective membrane of calcium makes it only selective to calcium ions decreasing its response to other ions.
