Abstract
Abstract
Continuous monitoring of arterial pulse has great significance for detecting the early onset of cardiovascular disease and assessing health status, while needs pressure sensors with high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to accurately capture more health information concealed in pulse waves. Field effect transistors (FETs) combined with the piezoelectric film is an ultrahigh sensitive pressure sensor category, especially when the FET works in the subthreshold regime, where the signal enhancement effect on the piezoelectric response is the most effective. However, controlling the work regime of FET needs extra external bias assistance which will interfere with the piezoelectric response signal and complicate the test system thus making the scheme difficult to implement. Here, we described a gate dielectric modulation strategy to match the subthreshold region of the FET with the piezoelectric output voltage without external gate bias, finally enhancing the sensitivity of the pressure sensor. A carbon nanotube field effect transistor and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) together form the pressure sensor with a high sensitivity of 7 × 10−1 kPa−1 for a pressure range of 0.038–0.467 kPa and 6.86 × 10−2 kPa−1 for a pressure range of 0.467–15.5 kPa, SNR, and the ability to continuously monitor pulse in real-time. Additionally, the sensor enables high-resolution detection of weak pulse signals under large static pressure.
