How Do ISFET pH Sensors Work?

ISFET pH sensors work by measuring the voltage generated when hydrogen ions in the solution interact with the gate of the transistor. The gate of the transistor is coated with a thin layer of a sensitive material that reacts to changes in pH. When the gate interacts with the hydrogen ions in the solution, a voltage is generated that is proportional to the pH of the solution.
