RESUMO

Separative extended gate field-effect transistor (SEGFET) device is an alternative to the conventional ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET). The great advantage of SEGFET refers to its easy processing, i.e., it is limited under only manipulation of the gate electrode, avoiding the conventional microelectronic processes. In this way, ion sensors and biosensors can be easily implemented combining chemical and/or biological recognition materials. In turn, the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique shows be versatile for handling various types of materials at molecular level. In this thesis, the concept of SEGFET device was combined with the LbL technique through the manipulation of organic (polyelectrolytes, dendrimers and poly (aniline)) and inorganic materials (TiO2 and V2O5 nanoparticles) in order to get new pH sensors and biosensors for the detection of glucose and urea, two important analytes of clinical interest. In a first step, different LbL films were produced, characterized and tested as the sensitive layer (extended gate) in SEGFETs devices. All studied systems were promissing as pH sensors, i.e., with a sensitivity close to the theoretical value suggested by Nernst equation (59.15 mV.pH-1). These results can be attributed to the amphoteric nature of the material in the last layer of the LbL films. In a second step, glucose oxidase (GOx) and urease enzymes were conveniently immobilized onto LbL films. Because these enzymes generate or consume protons during catalysis of the reaction, the enzymatically modified LbL films were used in biosensors for glucose and urea, with efficient detection. Thus, the union of SEGFET devices with the LbL technique is promising to building up efficient and low-cost sensors and biosensors.
