Solid State Microelectrochemical Devices: Transistor and Diode Devices Employing a Solid Polymer Electrolyte
Abstract
Not long ago this group first described micro electrochemical devices which are based on microfabricated arrays of electrodes connected by electroactive materials. Because the active components of these devices are chemical in nature, many of these devices are chemically sensitive and comprise a potentially useful class of chemical sensors. Devices showing sensitivity to pH, O2, H2, Li, and Na have been demonstrated. These devices are typically operated in fluid solution electrolytes need to be developed. We have recently reported solid state microelectrochemical transistors which replace conventional liquid electrolytes with polymer electrolytes based on polyethyleneoxide (PEO) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA).
