Summary: Highly sensitive force sensors of piezoelectric zinc oxide dual-gate thin film transistors are reported, along with an analytical model that elucidates the physical origins of their response. The dual-gate TFTs exhibited static and transient current changes under external forces, with an analytical model accurately portraying the piezoelectric response that modulates the energy-band edges and current-voltage characteristics. Demonstrating a field-tunable force response in single TFT, this work sheds light on the correlation between material properties and the force response in piezoelectric TFTs.

Summary: A dual-drain Vertical Tunnel FET structure is proposed and investigated for the first time in this manuscript. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that reducing the channel thickness significantly improves various DC parameters of the proposed device, including subthreshold swing, on-state current, and current-switching ratio. The introduction of dielectric material reduces the subthreshold leakage current, making the device suitable for low power applications. Optimization of gate-oxide, source, and channel dimensions achieves a low subthreshold swing and high current-switching ratio. The proposed device outperforms existing TFET structures in terms of current switching ratio, average subthreshold swing, and turn-on voltage.

Summary: Label-free biosensors based on EGOTs are highly sensitive and can be best described by the Frumkin isotherm in comparison to the Langmuir and Hill isotherms. The biosensor response is primarily due to specific binding at the gate/electrolyte interface, while electrostatic repulsions between adsorbed probe-target pairs can decrease the effective equilibrium association constant.
