Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a sensor using a field effect transistor. The sensor includes a field effect transistor having a gate electrode, a reactive monomolecular film formed on the surface of the gate electrode, and a sensing material fixed on the gate electrode through a reactive monomolecular film by a chemical bond. The sensing material is strongly bonded to the reactive monomolecular film in such manner that the sensing material is kept alive. Thereby, sensitivity of the sensor is improved.
