Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductor microelectronics technology, and in particular to a detection device and a detection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) is a microelectronic ion selective sensitive element with dual characteristics of electrochemistry and transistor. ISFET has the advantages of small sensitive area, fast response, high sensitivity, low output impedance, small sample consumption, easy batch manufacturing and low cost. It has been applied in clinical, food, environment, military and even robotics, especially in the field of biochemical sensors, and will play an increasingly important role.

[0003] The existing ISFET uses surface treatment technology to enable its sensitive membrane to adsorb specific ions or molecules. These charged ions or molecules will change the channel conductivity of the ISFET. By monitoring the change in the channel conductivity of the ISFET through an external circuit, the concentration of ions or molecules in the test solution can be indirectly known. For example, the substrate structure of a dual-gate ion-sensitive field-effect transistor used for pH detection, when the ISFET surface has an ion-sensitive layer, when the device is immersed in the solution to be tested, the surface charge of the ion-sensitive layer changes according to the different / changing concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+), thereby affecting the threshold voltage of the ISFET. Its pH value can be determined by testing its threshold voltage or output signal changes, and by setting different ion-sensitive membranes on the surface, the corresponding other ion concentrations of the surface liquid can also be obtained through similar principles. In the prior art, the use of ISFET can realize the detection of pH, metal ions, blood sugar, genes, proteins, etc.

[0004] However, ISFET currently has problems such as poor stability and being easily affected by the environment. For example, due to environmental factors (light, temperature, etc.) and fluctuations in its own characteristics, the relative threshold voltage is prone to change, and the output signal itself will fluctuate greatly, making it difficult to calibrate, resulting in large detection errors.

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In related technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a device for detecting pH value used in the relevant technology. Figure 1The working principle of the circuit of the dual-gate ion-sensitive field effect transistor for pH detection is as follows: Point P' in the figure is the potential point to be detected, and its potential is jointly affected by the reference electrode (usually grounded) and the ion concentration of the solution to be tested. At the same time, the potential of point P' acts as the top gate of the ISFET device 00' to modulate its threshold voltage Vth'. During the detection process, it is equivalent to scanning the Vgs voltage of the device 00'. By detecting the output current of the device 00', its characteristic curve can be obtained, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The Ids-Vgs characteristic curve corresponding to the detection device in the embodiment, curve L1 corresponds to a solution with a pH value of 5, curve L2 corresponds to a solution with a pH value of 6, and curve L3 corresponds to a solution with a pH value of 7. When the ion concentration (such as Figure 2 When the curves in the figure represent different pH values) change, the potential at point P' changes by ΔVp', and the threshold voltage Vth' (e.g. Figure 2 Vth1', Vth2', Vth3') in the above diagram drift ΔVth', ΔVth' = ΔVp' × Cis / Cbg, Cis is the top gate insulation layer capacitance of the ISFET device 00', Cbg is the bottom gate insulation layer capacitance of the ISFET device 00', so that the corresponding characteristic curve changes. The same current I0( Figure 2 The corresponding voltage value changes ΔVth' (shown by the dashed line in the middle). Therefore, the change in the potential at point P' can ultimately be used to obtain the change in ion concentration. However, since the ISFET's own characteristics are affected by many factors such as the environment and process, the output signal itself has large fluctuations and needs to be calibrated before each test, which is not conducive to batch use. Even if it is calibrated before testing, the test results are not reliable enough.

[0034] To solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a detection device, which includes at least one detection unit, the detection unit includes an ion-sensitive membrane, a first electrode, a first capacitor, a second capacitor and a first transistor, and also includes a signal input terminal, a power supply terminal and a current output terminal; the capacitance of the first capacitor is greater than the capacitance of the second capacitor; the ion-sensitive membrane is covered on the first electrode, the first electrode is electrically connected to the first plate of the first capacitor, the second plate of the first capacitor, the first plate of the second capacitor and the gate of the first transistor are electrically connected, and the second plate of the second capacitor is connected to the signal input terminal; the first electrode of the first transistor is connected to the power supply terminal, and the second electrode is connected to the current output terminal. That is, by ensuring that the current output terminal outputs a stable current value, the signal connected to the signal input terminal is adjusted, and the liquid to be detected can be detected based on the adjusted amplitude. At the same time, the capacitance of the first capacitor is greater than the capacitance of the second capacitor, that is, the signal connected to the signal input terminal can be amplified, which is convenient for the detection device to detect the concentration of the liquid to be detected. On the basis of avoiding the threshold voltage of the transistor in the detection device affected by the environment, it is also ensured that the detection device is not affected by the preparation process, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the detection device.

[0035] The above is the core idea of ​​the present invention. The technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a detection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a detection device provided along the cross-sectional line AA', Figure 5 yes Figure 3 Another schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the detection device provided along the cross-sectional line AA', Figure 6 is a circuit diagram of a detection unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figures 3 to 6As shown, the detection device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes at least one detection unit 100, and the detection unit 100 includes an ion sensitive membrane 110, a first electrode 120, a first capacitor C1, a second capacitor C2 and a first transistor 130, and also includes a signal input terminal Vx, a power supply terminal Vd and a current output terminal Id; the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 is greater than the capacitance of the second capacitor C2; the ion sensitive membrane 110 is covered on the first electrode 120, the first electrode 120 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 141 of the first capacitor C1, the second electrode plate 142 of the first capacitor C1, the first electrode plate 143 of the second capacitor C2 and the gate 131 of the first transistor 130 are electrically connected, and the second electrode plate 144 of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the signal input terminal Vx; the first electrode 132 of the first transistor 130 is connected to the power supply terminal Vd, and the second electrode 133 is connected to the current output terminal Id.

[0037] The detection device 10 can be used to detect the concentration of the liquid to be detected (not specifically shown in the figure) dripped into the detection device 10. Specifically, the detection device 10 includes at least one detection unit 100, and the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the number of the detection units 100. The detection unit 100 is based on the acquisition of the hydrogen ion concentration in the liquid to be detected and the feedback of the corresponding electrical signal, that is, the determination of the hydrogen ion concentration in the liquid to be detected, that is, the pH value determination, is realized through the detection unit 100, and then the determination of the concentration of the liquid to be detected is realized, thereby realizing the detection function of the detection device 10.

[0038] Specifically, the detection unit 100 includes an ion-sensitive membrane 110, and the liquid to be detected by the detection device 10 is dropped onto the ion-sensitive membrane 110, and the ion-sensitive membrane 110 can generate a corresponding signal based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in the liquid to be detected. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ion sensitive membrane 110 is covered on the first electrode 120, that is, the test signal generated by the test liquid placed on the ion sensitive membrane 110 is transmitted to the first electrode 120 through the ion signal terminal Vp, and is transmitted to the detection unit 100 through the first electrode 120, so that the detection device 10 can obtain the hydrogen ion concentration in the test liquid.

[0039] For further reference, Figures 4 to 6As shown, the detection unit 100 also includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2, and the first plate 141 in the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the first electrode 120, that is, the first capacitor C1 obtains the signal to be measured generated on the ion sensitive membrane 110 through the first electrode 120. At the same time, the second plate 144 of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the signal input terminal Vx, and the signal input terminal Vx inputs an adjustable signal, that is, the second capacitor C2 obtains an adjustable signal that can be adjusted. Specifically, the detection unit 100 also includes a first transistor 130, and the gate 131 of the first transistor 130 is electrically connected to the second plate 142 of the first capacitor C1 and the first plate 143 of the second capacitor C2, that is, the signal to be measured obtained by the first capacitor C1 and the adjustable signal obtained by the second capacitor C2 are both transmitted to the first transistor 130, and then the channel of the gate 131 in the first transistor 130 is turned on, allowing the first pole 132 and the second pole 133 in the first transistor 130 to transmit current.

[0040] Further, the first electrode 132 in the first transistor 130 is connected to the power supply terminal Vd, the second electrode 133 is connected to the current output terminal Id, and the gate 131 of the first transistor 130 is turned on by receiving the test signal obtained by the first capacitor C1 and the adjustable signal obtained by the second capacitor C2, that is, the first electrode 132 and the second electrode 133 are turned on, so that the current output by the power supply terminal Vd is transmitted to the current output terminal Id. Specifically, the first electrode 132 and the second electrode 133 in the first transistor 130 can be a source and a drain, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific reference.

[0041] Specifically, in order to ensure accurate detection of the solution to be tested, the detection device 10 avoids the first transistor 130 being affected by the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution to be tested measured by the ion sensitive layer 110, thereby causing errors in the detection results of the detection unit 10, or the first transistor 130 being affected by the preparation process, resulting in inaccurate detection results. The detection device 10 does not directly contact the first transistor 130 with the ion sensitive layer 110, and by adjusting the adjustable signal input by the signal input terminal Vx, ensures that the first transistor 130 is always in the same stable state, that is, ensures that the current output terminal Id electrically connected to the second pole 133 always outputs a fixed current. At the same time, the ion sensitive membrane 110 generates a corresponding signal based on the concentration of hydrogen ions in the liquid to be tested to reflect the concentration of hydrogen ions, that is, the signal is a fixed signal. Therefore, based on the adjustment range of the adjustable signal input to the signal input terminal Vx, the signal to be tested generated by the ion sensitive membrane 110 can be fed back, that is, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the liquid to be tested can be fed back, so as to realize the detection of the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid to be tested by the detection device 10. For the prior art, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution to be tested is indirectly obtained through the change of the threshold voltage of the transistor, and because the characteristics of the transistor itself are affected by many factors such as the environment and process, the output signal itself will have large fluctuations, and it needs to be calibrated before each detection, which is not conducive to batch use, and even if it is calibrated before detection, the detection result is not reliable enough. However, the detection device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can ensure the stability of the first transistor 130, and does not obtain the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution to be tested based on the threshold voltage. While ensuring the stable operation of the first transistor 130, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution to be tested can be directly determined by obtaining the adjustable signal, that is, the input signal of the signal input terminal Vx, avoiding the influence of indirect factors, thereby improving the accuracy of detection by the detection device 10.

[0042] Specifically, based on the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, the adjustable signal input at the signal input terminal Vx and the signal to be tested Vp generated on the ion sensitive membrane 110, in order to ensure that the current output terminal Id always outputs a fixed current, the formula is satisfied: △Vx=△Vp*C1 / C2, wherein △Vp is the signal to be tested, that is, the change value of the hydrogen ion concentration of the test liquid to be tested, △Vx is the change amount of the adjustable signal, and C1 and C2 represent the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. Further, the change value and change amount of the above signal are based on the difference between the signal generated by the detection device 10 before the detection of the test liquid and the signal generated by the detection of the test liquid, and the signal generated by the standard solution is used as the calibration value, and the hydrogen ion concentration of the standard solution is known. That is, by obtaining the change amount of the adjustable signal, the hydrogen ion concentration of the test liquid can be obtained, and the detection device 10 eliminates the error factors that may affect the detection accuracy of the first transistor 130, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection result.

[0043] Furthermore, the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 is greater than the capacitance of the second capacitor C2. Based on the above calculation formula, it can be ensured that the change value of the signal to be measured is amplified, and the amplification factor is the ratio of the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 to the capacitance of the second capacitor C2. That is, the detection result is amplified by adjusting the capacitance of the capacitor, which can further improve the accuracy and precision of the detection result of the detection device 10.

[0044] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides a detection device, in which an ion-sensitive membrane is covered on a first electrode, the first electrode is electrically connected to the first plate of the first capacitor, the second plate of the first capacitor, the first plate of the second capacitor and the gate of the first transistor are electrically connected, and the second plate of the second capacitor is connected to the signal input terminal; the first electrode of the first transistor is connected to the power supply terminal, and the second electrode is connected to the current output terminal. That is, by ensuring that the current output terminal outputs a stable current value, the signal connected to the signal input terminal is adjusted, and the liquid to be detected can be detected based on the adjustment amplitude. At the same time, the capacitance of the first capacitor is greater than the capacitance of the second capacitor, and the signal connected to the signal input terminal is amplified, which is convenient for the detection device to detect the concentration of the liquid to be detected. On the basis of avoiding the threshold voltage of the transistor in the detection device that is affected by the environment, it is also ensured that the detection device is not affected by the preparation process, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the detection device.

[0045] Figure 7 is a circuit diagram of another detection unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The Ids-Vgs characteristic curve corresponding to the detection device in the reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the detection unit 100 also includes a second transistor 150, a fixed potential signal terminal Vref and a reset control signal terminal Vrst; the gate 151 of the second transistor 150 is connected to the reset control signal terminal Vrst, the first electrode 152 of the second transistor 150 is connected to the fixed potential signal terminal Vref, and the second electrode 153 of the second transistor 150 is connected to the gate 131 of the first transistor 130.

[0046] Specifically, the detection unit 100 also includes a second transistor 150, and the second transistor 150 includes a gate 151, a first electrode 152, and a second electrode 153, which are a source and a drain. In addition, the second electrode 153 of the second transistor 150 is connected to the gate 131 of the first transistor 130, that is, the second transistor 150 provides a gate voltage for the gate 131 of the first transistor 130. Specifically, the gate 151 of the second transistor 150 is connected to the reset control signal terminal Vrst, and the first electrode 152 of the second transistor 150 is connected to the fixed potential signal terminal Vref, that is, the reset control signal terminal Vrst outputs a reset signal to the second transistor 150, and the gate 151 of the second transistor 150 is turned on by receiving the reset signal, that is, the first electrode 152 and the second electrode 153 are turned on and transmit the fixed signal sent by the fixed potential signal terminal Vref, and the fixed signal transmitted in the second transistor 150 is transmitted to the first transistor 130 through the second electrode 153.

[0047] Furthermore, the detection unit 10 includes a calibration phase and a detection phase. In the detection phase, the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid to be tested is detected, and in the calibration phase, the current output by the current output terminal Id in the first transistor 130 is calibrated to be the current output when the gate voltage is in the subthreshold interval. Specifically, by adding the second transistor 150, a fixed potential can be provided to the gate of the first transistor 130, so as to control the gate-source voltage of the first transistor 130 to be in the subthreshold interval of the transistor, that is, it can ensure that the first transistor 130 operates in the subthreshold interval. At this time, the current output by the current output terminal Id is the calibration current. Therefore, in the test phase, by adjusting the signal input by the signal input terminal Vx, the current output by the current output terminal Id is the calibration current, which can ensure that the first transistor 130 operates in the subthreshold interval. Exemplarily, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the horizontal axis is the voltage difference between the gate 131 and the source in the first transistor 130, that is, the voltage difference between the gate 131 and the first electrode 132, that is, the source, and the vertical axis is the current output by the current output terminal Id. Figure 8As shown, when the voltage is in the subthreshold interval, that is, the area between Vgs1 and Vgs2 in the figure, the current output by the current output terminal Id has a large range of change, that is, the current is significantly affected by the voltage in this area. The fixed signal transmitted by the fixed potential signal terminal Vref is transmitted to the first transistor 130 through the second transistor 150, and the voltage value in the first transistor 130 is adjusted to a certain potential in the subthreshold interval (the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific potential), which can ensure that the current output by the first transistor 130 is significantly affected by the voltage, so that the calibration current determined in the calibration stage can be output by controlling the current output terminal Id in the test stage to ensure the accuracy of the signal input by the signal input terminal Vx, that is, it can be accurately converted into the change amount of the signal to be measured, and the change value of the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid to be measured can be determined, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the detection device 10 and improving the detection accuracy of the detection device 10.

[0048] Fig. 9 is a circuit diagram of another detection unit provided in an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 9 As shown, the detection unit 100 also includes a third transistor 160 and a scan signal terminal Vgn; the gate 161 of the third transistor 160 is connected to the scan signal terminal Vgn, and the first electrode 162 of the third transistor 160 and the second electrode 163 of the third transistor 160 are respectively connected to the second electrode 133 of the first transistor 130 and the current output terminal Id.

[0049] Specifically, the detection unit 100 also includes a third transistor 160, which includes a gate 161, a first electrode 162 and a second electrode 163, and the first electrode 162 of the third transistor 160 and the second electrode 163 of the third transistor 160 are respectively connected to the second electrode 133 of the first transistor 130 and the current output terminal Id, that is, the premise for ensuring that the first transistor 130 is turned on and outputs current is that the third transistor 160 is turned on, and the turning on of the third transistor 160 ensures that the second electrode 133 and the current output terminal Id in the first transistor 130 are turned on, so that the first transistor 130 outputs current at the current output terminal Id.

[0050] Furthermore, the gate 161 of the third transistor 160 is connected to the scan signal terminal Vgn, that is, the scan signal is transmitted to the gate 161 in the third transistor 160 through the scan signal terminal Vgn, that is, the gate 161 is turned on, and then the third transistor 160 is turned on, ensuring that the first transistor 130 normally outputs current at the current output terminal Id.

[0051] Exemplarily, when the detection device 10 has multiple detection units 100, by setting a third transistor 160 and controlling the on and off of the third transistor 160, time-sharing control of the multiple detection units 100 is achieved, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the detection device 10, and the detection device 10 is better suitable for the detection of the liquid to be detected.

[0052] Fig.10 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another detection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig.10 As shown, the detection device 10 includes a plurality of detection units 100 arranged in an array; the current output terminals Id of all the detection units 100 are connected to each other, the signal input terminals Vx of all the detection units 100 are connected to each other, the power supply terminals Vd in the plurality of detection units 100 in the same column are connected to each other, and the scanning signal terminals Vgn in the plurality of detection units 100 in the same row are connected to each other.

[0053] Specifically, refer to Fig.10 As shown, the detection device 10 includes a plurality of detection units 100 arranged in rows and columns. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the specific arrangement of the detection units 100. In the detection device 10 having a plurality of detection units 100, the signal input terminals Vx of all the detection units 100 are connected to each other ( Fig.10 (not specifically shown in the figure), so that the detection device 10 can acquire and analyze the adjustable signal inputted from the signal input terminal Vx to accurately determine the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution to be detected.

Among the multiple detection units 100 connected to the first row scanning signal terminal Vgn(1), if the current output terminal Id of the detection unit 100 whose first column power supply terminal Vd(1) in the power supply terminal Vd is turned on outputs current, and the current output terminal Id of the detection unit 100 whose second column power supply terminal Vd(2) in the power supply terminal Vd is not turned on does not output current. At the same time, if the second row scanning signal terminal Vgn(2) in the scanning signal terminal Vgn is not turned on, the scanning signal is not provided to the detection unit 100 in this row, and the current output terminal Id of the detection unit 100 does not output current.

At the same time, the second row scanning signal terminal Vgn(2) in the scanning signal terminal Vgn is not turned on, and no scanning signal is provided to the detection units 100 in this row, then the current output terminal Id of the detection unit 100 does not output current. In other words, when the power supply terminal Vd of the detection unit 100 is turned on, if the scanning signal terminal Vgn provides a scanning signal, then the current output terminal Id of the detection unit 100 outputs current, and the adjustable signal input to the signal input terminal Vx is adjusted according to the output current value to ensure that the current value is the expected calibration value, and the concentration of hydrogen ions in the liquid to be tested is determined according to the adjusted adjustable signal.

[0076] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a detection method of a detection device, Fig.13 is a flow chart of a detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Fig.13 As shown, the detection method includes:

[0077] S110, supplying power to the first transistor through the power supply end, using the first electrode and the ion sensitive membrane to detect a standard solution of known ion concentration to generate an initial ion sensitive signal, and inputting an initial voltage at the signal input end to turn on the first transistor and generate an initial on-current.

[0078] Among them, the detection device can be used to detect the concentration of the liquid to be detected dripped into the detection device, and the detection device includes at least one detection unit. The detection unit is based on the acquisition of the hydrogen ion concentration in the liquid to be detected and the feedback of the corresponding electrical signal, that is, the judgment of the hydrogen ion concentration in the liquid to be detected is realized through the detection unit, that is, the pH value judgment, and then the judgment of the concentration of the liquid to be detected is realized, realizing the detection function of the detection device. Furthermore, the detection unit includes an ion-sensitive membrane, a first electrode, a first capacitor, a second capacitor and a first transistor, and also includes a signal input terminal, a power supply terminal and a current output terminal.

[0079] Specifically, the first transistor is powered by the power supply terminal and is used to output an initial conduction current when the first transistor is turned on. At the same time, the first electrode and the ion-sensitive membrane detect a standard solution of known ion concentration to generate an initial ion-sensitive signal, that is, an ion-sensitive signal for reference to the particle concentration in the subsequent liquid to be measured is generated, and an initial voltage is input to the signal input terminal. The first transistor is turned on by inputting the initial ion-sensitive signal and the initial voltage transmitted to the gate of the first transistor, and at the same time, the power supply terminal supplies power to the first transistor and outputs an output initial conduction current to achieve the initial conduction current.

[0081] Furthermore, the solution to be tested is placed in a detection device to detect the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution to be tested. Specifically, the ion-sensitive membrane contacts the liquid to be tested, and the generated detection ion-sensitive signal, i.e., the signal to be tested, is transmitted to the detection unit through the first electrode, so that the detection unit obtains the concentration of hydrogen ions in the liquid to be tested. Furthermore, the detection voltage input through the signal input terminal is an adjustable signal, and the detection voltage and the ion-sensitive signal are transmitted to the gate of the first transistor to ensure that the first transistor is turned on. And by adjusting the detection voltage input at the signal input terminal, it is ensured that the first transistor continuously outputs a stable initial conduction current.

[0083] Among them, the initial voltage is the voltage value initially input to the signal input terminal to ensure that the first transistor is turned on, and the detection voltage, that is, the adjustable signal, is the signal for adjusting the signal input terminal. The detection voltage is used to ensure that the first transistor continuously outputs a stable initial conduction current, and the voltage change input to the signal input terminal is determined based on the difference between the initial voltage and the detection voltage.

[0085] Among them, based on the voltage change input at the signal input end and the capacitance ratio of the first capacitor and the second capacitor, the change in the ion-sensitive signal can be determined, that is, the difference in the hydrogen ion concentration between the test liquid and the standard solution of known ion concentration. That is, based on the formula: △Vx = △Vp*C1 / C2, where △Vp is the test signal, that is, the change in the hydrogen ion concentration of the test liquid to be detected, that is, the change in the ion-sensitive signal, △Vx is the change in the adjustable signal, that is, the voltage change input at the signal input end, and C1 and C2 represent the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2. Based on the above formula, the change in the ion-sensitive signal can be accurately determined.

[0086] S150, calculating the ion concentration of the solution to be tested according to the change in the ion sensitive signal, the ion concentration of the standard solution, and the known relationship between the ion sensitive signal and the ion concentration of the solution.

[0087] The ion concentration of the standard solution is the ion concentration obtained by the detection device before the liquid to be tested is tested. The ion sensitive signal in the actual liquid to be tested can be determined based on the above ion sensitive signal change. In combination with the known relationship between the ion sensitive signal and the solution ion concentration, the concentration of hydrogen ions in the liquid to be tested can be obtained by calculation, that is, the ion concentration of the liquid to be tested at the detection device.

[0088] In summary, the detection method of a detection device provided by the embodiment of the present invention can detect the liquid to be detected based on the adjustment amplitude by ensuring that the current output terminal outputs a stable current value and adjusting the signal connected to the signal input terminal. On the basis of avoiding the threshold voltage of the transistor in the detection device being affected by the environment, it also ensures that the detection device is not affected by the preparation process, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the detection device.

[0089] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present invention further provides another detection method of a detection device.

[0090] S210, supplying power to the first transistor through the power supply end, using the first electrode and the ion sensitive membrane to detect a standard solution of known ion concentration to generate an initial ion sensitive signal, and inputting an initial voltage at the signal input end to turn on the first transistor and generate an initial on-current.

[0091] S220, providing a reset signal to the fixed potential signal terminal, and providing a control start signal to the reset control signal terminal, so that the second transistor and the first transistor are turned on, and the on-current of the first transistor is the initial on-current.

[0092] Specifically, the detection unit also includes a second transistor, a fixed potential signal terminal and a reset control signal terminal; and the gate of the second transistor is connected to the reset control signal terminal, the first electrode is connected to the fixed potential signal terminal, and the second electrode is connected to the gate of the first transistor. In addition, the second electrode of the second transistor is connected to the gate of the first transistor, that is, the second transistor provides a gate voltage for the gate of the first transistor. Specifically, the gate of the second transistor is connected to the reset control signal terminal, and the first electrode of the second transistor is connected to the fixed potential signal terminal, that is, the reset control signal terminal outputs a reset signal to the second transistor, and the gate of the second transistor is turned on by receiving the reset signal, that is, the first electrode and the second electrode are turned on and transmit the fixed signal emitted by the fixed potential signal terminal, and the fixed signal transmitted in the second transistor is transmitted to the first transistor through the second electrode.

[0093] Furthermore, the detection unit includes a calibration phase and a detection phase. In the detection phase, the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid to be tested is detected, and in the calibration phase, the current output from the current output terminal of the first transistor is calibrated, and it is calibrated as the current output when the gate voltage is in the subthreshold interval. Specifically, by adding a second transistor, a fixed potential can be provided to the gate of the first transistor, so as to control the gate-source voltage of the first transistor to be in the subthreshold interval of the transistor, that is, it can ensure that the first transistor operates in the subthreshold interval, and the current output from the current output terminal is the calibration current. Therefore, in the test phase, by adjusting the signal input at the signal input terminal, the current output from the current output terminal is the calibration current, which can ensure that the first transistor operates in the subthreshold interval. When the voltage is in the subthreshold interval, the current output from the current output terminal has a large range of variation, that is, the current is more obviously affected by the voltage in this area. The fixed signal transmitted by the fixed potential signal end is transmitted to the first transistor through the second transistor, and the voltage value in the first transistor is adjusted to a certain potential within the subthreshold range (the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific potential), so that the current output by the first transistor can be significantly affected by the voltage, so that the accuracy of the signal input by the signal input end can be guaranteed by controlling the calibration current determined in the calibration stage during the test stage by outputting the calibration current at the current output end, that is, it can be accurately converted into the change amount of the signal to be measured, and the change value of the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid to be measured can be determined, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the detection device and improving the detection accuracy of the detection device.

[0097] S260, calculating the ion concentration of the solution to be tested according to the change in the ion sensitive signal, the ion concentration of the standard solution, and the known relationship between the ion sensitive signal and the ion concentration of the solution.

[0098] In summary, in the detection method of the detection device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a second transistor, a fixed potential signal terminal and a reset control signal terminal are added, and a reset signal is provided to the fixed potential signal terminal, and a control start signal is provided to the reset control signal terminal, so that the second transistor and the first transistor are turned on, and the on-current of the first transistor is the initial on-current. Based on this, it can be ensured that the current output by the first transistor is significantly affected by the voltage, so that the calibration current determined in the calibration phase can be output by controlling the current output terminal in the test phase to ensure the accuracy of the signal input by the signal input terminal, that is, it can be accurately converted into the change amount of the signal to be measured, and the change value of the hydrogen ion concentration of the liquid to be measured can be determined, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the detection device and improving the detection accuracy of the detection device.
