Abstract
We have developed biosensors based on dual-gated field-effect transistors (FETs) that operate at the quantum capacitance limit. The FETs are fabricated with atomically thin MoS2 semiconducting films and top-gated with a room temperature ionic-liquid. The high ionic liquid polarizability allows strong coupling between the top (ionic liquid) and back-gate (substrate oxide) dielectrics, which enables the amplification of a voltage applied to the ionic liquid gate by 200x, limited only by the quantum capacitance of the channel. The devices operate near their theoretical limits, thereby enabling new applications in biosensing, beyond the reach of traditional FET-based sensors.Proceedings Title
