Abstract

A thin-film amorphous silicon (a-Si) deposited on a glass substrate was employed as a semiconductor material for the chemical imaging sensor, which can visualize the distribution of ion concentration in a solution. The sensing properties and the spatial resolution of the a-Si sensors were investigated. Nearly-Nernstian pH sensitivities and submicron resolution were demonstrated, which suggests the superior performance of the chemical imaging sensor based on thin-film a-Si.
