A charge-transfer-type pH sensor operated by charge accumulation was demonstrated, and it was confirmed that its pH sensitivity was 1130 mV/pH with five signal integration cycles. The most familiar pH sensor using a semiconductor is the ionsensitive field effect transistor (ISFET). The sensitivity of our pH sensor was 20 times higher than that of the ISFET. The sensitivity of the ISFET, which is similar in structure to a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure, is restricted by the Nernst equation (59 mV/pH at room temperature). The output signal from an ISFET disappears into its noise as pH variation becomes small. The charge-transfer-type pH sensor increases the pH output signal to integrate signals in the time domain that are noise-free. It is expected that with this sensor it is possible to measure small pH signal variations.
