In this study, we developed an ion-sensitive transparent-gate transistor (IS-TGT) for visible cell sensing. The gate sensing surface of the IS-TGT is transparent in a solution because a transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor composed of amorphous In-Ga-Zn-oxide (a-IGZO) with a thin SiO2 film gate that includes an indium tin oxide (ITO) film as the source and drain electrodes is utilized. The pH response of the IS-TGT was found to be about 56 mV/pH, indicating approximately Nernstian response. Moreover, the potential signals of the IS-TGT for sodium and potassium ions, which are usually included in biological environments, were evaluated. The optical and electrical properties of the IS-TGT enable cell functions to be monitored simultaneously with microscopic observation and electrical measurement. A platform based on the IS-TGT can be used as a simple and cost-effective plate-cell-sensing system based on thin-film fabrication technology in the research field of life science.
