{"mainEntity":{"headline":"Active dual-gated graphene transistors for low-noise, drift-stable, and tunable chemical sensing","description":"Graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) are among the most promising platforms for ultrasensitive chemical and biological sensing due to their high carrier mobility, large surface area, and low intrinsic noise. However, conventional single-gate GFETs in liquid environments suffer from severe limitations, including signal drift, charge trapping, and insufficient signal amplification. Here, we introduce a dual-gate GFET architecture that integrates a high-κ hafnium dioxide local back gate with an electrolyte top gate, coupled with real-time feedback biasing. This design enables capacitive signal amplification while simultaneously suppressing gate leakage and low-frequency noise. By systematically evaluating seven distinct operational modes, we identify the Differential Mode Fixed configuration as optimal, achieving up to 20× signal gain, >15× lower drift compared with gate-swept methods, and up to 7× higher signal-to-noise ratio across a diverse range of analytes, including neurotransmitters, volatile organic compounds, environmental contaminants, and proteins. We further demonstrate robust multichannel detection using a PCB-integrated GFET sensor array, underscoring the scalability and practicality of the platform for portable, high-throughput sensing. Together, these advances establish a versatile and stable sensing technology capable of real-time, label-free detection of molecular targets under ambient and physiological conditions, with broad applicability in health monitoring, food safety, agriculture, and environmental screening.","datePublished":"2026-02-13T00:00:00Z","dateModified":"2026-02-13T00:00:00Z","pageStart":"1","pageEnd":"12","license":"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","sameAs":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41699-026-00674-5","keywords":["Engineering","Materials science","Nanoscience and technology","Physics","Materials Science","general","Nanotechnology","Surfaces and Interfaces","Thin Films"],"image":["https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41699-026-00674-5/MediaObjects/41699_2026_674_Fig1_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41699-026-00674-5/MediaObjects/41699_2026_674_Fig2_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41699-026-00674-5/MediaObjects/41699_2026_674_Fig3_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41699-026-00674-5/MediaObjects/41699_2026_674_Fig4_HTML.png"],"isPartOf":{"name":"npj 2D Materials and Applications","issn":["2397-7132"],"volumeNumber":"10","@type":["Periodical","PublicationVolume"]},"publisher":{"name":"Nature Publishing Group UK","logo":{"url":"https://www.springernature.com/app-sn/public/images/logo-springernature.png","@type":"ImageObject"},"@type":"Organization"},"author":[{"name":"Vinay Kammarchedu","affiliation":[{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Center for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Materials Research Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"@type":"Person"},{"name":"Heshmat Asgharian","affiliation":[{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Materials Research Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"@type":"Person"},{"name":"Hossein Chenani","affiliation":[{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Materials Research Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"@type":"Person"},{"name":"Aida Ebrahimi","affiliation":[{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Center for Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Materials Research Institute, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"},{"name":"The Pennsylvania State University","address":{"name":"Center for Neural Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA","@type":"PostalAddress"},"@type":"Organization"}],"email":"sue66@psu.edu","@type":"Person"}],"isAccessibleForFree":true,"@type":"ScholarlyArticle"},"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage"}

<p>
Graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) are among the most promising platforms for ultrasensitive chemical and biological sensing due to their high carrier mobility, large surface area, and low intrinsic noise. However, conventional single-gate GFETs in liquid environments suffer from severe limitations, including signal drift, charge trapping, and insufficient signal amplification. Here, we introduce a dual-gate GFET architecture that integrates a high-κ hafnium dioxide local back gate with an electrolyte top gate, coupled with real-time feedback biasing. This design enables capacitive signal amplification while simultaneously suppressing gate leakage and low-frequency noise. By systematically evaluating seven distinct operational modes, we identify the Differential Mode Fixed configuration as optimal, achieving up to 20× signal gain, &gt;15× lower drift compared with gate-swept methods, and up to 7× higher signal-to-noise ratio across a diverse range of analytes, including neurotransmitters, volatile organic compounds, environmental contaminants, and proteins. We further demonstrate robust multichannel detection using a PCB-integrated GFET sensor array, underscoring the scalability and practicality of the platform for portable, high-throughput sensing. Together, these advances establish a versatile and stable sensing technology capable of real-time, label-free detection of molecular targets under ambient and physiological conditions, with broad applicability in health monitoring, food safety, agriculture, and environmental screening.

. In dual-gate transistors, the channel is modulated simultaneously by two independent gate electrodes—for example, a solid-state dielectric back gate and an electrolyte top gate. When these gates are designed with significantly different gate capacitances—typically with the electrolyte gate providing orders of magnitude higher capacitance than the back gate—a small perturbation at the top gate (e.g., due to analyte binding) can result in a disproportionately larger signal response when the back gate compensates via capacitive coupling

Despite these promising reports, dual-gated GFET sensors remain underexplored, particularly those that fully leverage graphenes intrinsic surface sensitivity and chemical tunability—whether through direct functionalization with molecular probes or through electrolyte-gated interactions with charged analytes in solution. A key challenge for dual-gate GFETs is gate leakage in liquid environments. While the use of local high-κ back gates has been shown to substantially reduce effective oxide thickness (EOT) and suppress leakage, these benefits have largely been demonstrated under dry conditions

. We believe this challenge is a key reason why dual-gate GFETs have not been widely adopted in research or industry.
</p>
<p>
In this work, we overcome longstanding limitations of GFET sensors by introducing a field-effect amplified, active dual-gated architecture engineered for enhanced sensitivity and operational stability with low noise. Our design integrates a local high-κ hafnium dioxide (HfO
<sub>

</sub>
) back gate, patterned beneath the graphene channel, paired with a liquid-phase electrolyte top gate. This asymmetric dual-gate configuration acts as a capacitive voltage divider: perturbations at the graphene-electrolyte interface—such as ion adsorption or analyte binding—modulate the surface potential, which is then amplified at the back gate via capacitive coupling. To achieve active feedback, we employ readily available operational amplifiers to dynamically control the back gate voltage in real time. This approach enables cost-effective, on-demand modulation of the gate potential, facilitating sensor calibration and drift compensation without requiring complex electronics.
</p>
<p>
To systematically evaluate sensing performance, we define and compare seven distinct operational modes, encompassing a range of static and dynamic biasing conditions, both in single- and dual-gate configurations. Each mode was assessed across various analyte categories, including pH changes, small molecules (electroactive biogenic neurotransmitter amines), volatile organic compounds (isopropyl alcohol), environmental contaminants (PFAS), and large biomolecules (cytokine IL6). This wide applicability underscores the versatility of the sensing platform. Among all configurations, the Differential Mode Fixed (DMF; described in later sections) mode demonstrates the highest signal fidelity and sensor performance. In terms of performance metrics, DMF achieves up to 20× higher sensitivity, &gt; 15× lower signal drift, and enhanced signal-to-noise ratios (up to 7×)—well beyond what is attainable using conventional single-gate GFETs.
</p>
<p>
In summary, the proposed dual-gated, field-effect amplified GFET architecture establishes a new standard for graphene-based sensors by simultaneously delivering ultrasensitive detection, ultralow drift, and on-demand signal amplification. By integrating advanced materials and device engineering with tailored electronic circuit design and rigorous operational mode analysis, this platform achieves unprecedented sensor performance. Moreover, the approach is broadly transferable to other 2D materials and nanoscale FET systems, providing a versatile blueprint for next-generation biosensors and environmental monitors requiring both exceptional sensitivity and long-term stability. We envision this platform enabling real-time, high-precision sensing in complex environments, with the potential to achieve single-molecule detection limits in portable, low-power devices.

We achieved a yield of &gt;90% for functional back-gate modulation under dry conditions, confirming the integrity of the gate stack in ambient air. However, only 65% of devices exhibited functional back-gate response in liquid. Electrical gate leakage failures accounted for 35% of devices, while resistive failures were observed in 6%.

In Top Gate Fixed (TGF) mode, the top gate is held at a constant voltage while the back gate is left floating, as illustrated in Fig.

. In this configuration, the device functions effectively as a single top-gated GFET, where the electrolyte forms an electric double layer (EDL) at the graphene-electrolyte interface. This EDL serves as a high-capacitance gate dielectric, enabling modulation of the graphene channel at ultra-low gate voltages. The elevated EDL capacitance enhances charge carrier accumulation in the channel, facilitating real-time monitoring of the drain current during analyte exposure. In the Top Gate Sweep (TGS) mode, the top gate voltage is swept while the back gate remains floating, as illustrated in Fig.

. This approach enables acquisition of full transfer characteristics, allowing extraction of transconductance and precise tracking of Dirac point shifts caused by surface interactions. These shifts result from electrostatic gating by target analytes or specific molecular interactions at the graphene surface or gate electrode. For example, adsorption of charged biomolecules such as DNA or proteins onto the graphene channel induces local doping, causing concentration-dependent shifts of the Dirac point. Furthermore, reactions or binding events at the gate-electrolyte interface—such as protonation of functional groups—can indirectly modulate the gating field experienced by the graphene channel

. Aqueous electrolytes—such as phosphate-buffered saline and ionic liquids—enable strong gating but can differ markedly in their dielectric behavior, viscosity, and ion mobility. These differences directly affect the position and sharpness of the Dirac point. Specifically, weaker electrolytes or those containing bulky solvated ions—such as organic solvents like acetonitrile—result in broader or shifted transfer characteristics due to the formation of a more diffuse EDL.

As expected, ionic media such as PBS and 10mM KCl exhibited high capacitance (3646µF/cm

In contrast, DIW and pure acetonitrile showed low capacitance in the sub-pF/cm² range with much higher solution resistance, reflecting their low ionic conductivity.

These results validate the strong dependence of interfacial capacitance on electrolyte composition, which is critical for sensor performance in different media.

From a system integration perspective, global back-gated configurations—such as those employing a common SiO
<sub>
2
</sub>
back plane—are less suitable for array-based sensing. Due to the fabrication variability inherent in two-dimensional materials, a single leaky device in a globally gated array can affect all sensors sharing the same gate, compromising measurement integrity. In contrast, our locally patterned back gate architecture provides device-level control, enabling selective gating and isolation of individual sensors. This localized gating approach enhances robustness, improves fault tolerance, and offers clear advantages for multichannel biosensing and scalable integration. Beyond independent single-gate characterization, the unique architecture of these devices allows for simultaneous dual-gate sweeping to resolve complex electrostatic coupling.
</p>
<p>
In the Addition Mode (AM), both the top electrolyte gate and the back solid-state gate are sequentially swept during a single measurement, as illustrated in Fig.

. This dual-gate operation enables complex, high-resolution mapping of the GFET transfer characteristics, providing detailed insights into charge neutrality and electrostatic coupling across the graphene channel. Notably, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a dual-gated GFET system in which both a solid oxide back gate and a liquid/aqueous electrolyte top gate yield clearly resolved Dirac peaks under simultaneous sweep conditions.

Previous studies have typically relied on asymmetric gate structures in which one gate—often the electrolyte—dominates electrostatic control, rendering the secondary gate largely ineffective in modulating the channel. In contrast, our devices achieve sufficiently balanced electrostatic coupling between the top and back gates. While the top gate capacitance remains approximately an order of magnitude larger than that of the back gate (amplification factor
<span class="stix">
</span>
10), the high-κ HfO
<sub>
2
</sub>
dielectric ensures that the back gate is strong enough to independently resolve the Dirac point within a low voltage window, a capability often lacking in standard SiO2-based devices.
</p>
<p>
We must note that repeated back gate sweeps in AM reveal a key limitation: the combined effects of hysteresis, charge trapping, and ionic drift lead to progressive broadening and eventual loss of the Dirac peak. This degradation is particularly pronounced under electrolyte gating conditions. As shown in Fig. S
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#MOESM1">

</a>
, the Dirac peak is clearly visible during the initial sweeps but diminishes with continued operation. Although AM operation offers valuable insights into gate coupling and dielectric properties, its practical use in sensing is constrained by hysteresis-induced drift and the loss of peak resolution over time. To mitigate this issue and investigate AM further, we systematically performed dual-gate sweeps using aqueous electrolyte media (PBS, shown in Fig.

The differential feedback mode represents a novel sensing architecture that leverages real-time electrostatic feedback to achieve intrinsic signal amplification. In Differential Mode Fixed (DMF) mode, the top gate is held at a fixed bias while the back gate is dynamically modulated via a closed-loop feedback mechanism implemented using off-the-shelf electronic components such as operational amplifiers or digital circuits (Fig.
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="figure anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#Fig2">
2c
</a>
). The op-amp senses the current flowing through the graphene channel and adjusts the back gate voltage (
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({V}_{{BG}}\)
</span>
) to restore the channel to its predefined operating point. This enables the system to translate small changes in top gate potential—caused by molecular binding or environmental shifts—into amplified back gate voltage responses (
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({\triangle V}_{{BG}}\)
</span>
). We compared different feedback modes as described in Section S
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#MOESM1">

</a>
and found that, while op amp-based feedback can effectively implement dynamic modulation, the high capacitance of the electrolyte can, in some cases, lead to instability in the op amp response. To mitigate this, in the present study we employed a “digital op amp” approach, implemented using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), which eliminates the risk of feedback oscillations associated with the analog op amp configuration. We define a unifying parameter “Signal” for our tests as either
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({S=\triangle V}_{{BG}}\)
</span>
for differential mode measurements,
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\(S={\triangle V}_{\{{BG},{TG}\},{Dirac}}\)

for sweep methods, and
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\(S={{\triangle I}_{{ds}}R}_{{gain}}\)
</span>
(gain of amplifier as discussed in Section S

</a>
) in case of static modes.
</p>
<p>
We expect an amplification factor of around &gt;10 with PBS samples since the ratio
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\(\frac{{C}_{{eff}}^{{TG}}}{{C}_{{eff}}^{{BG}}} &gt; 10\)
</span>
in our system. This amplification factor may change based on changes in media and added molecules which may change the capacitive coupling. In this study, this factor is desirable since the molecules of interest in this study (e.g., redox-active neurotransmitters) typically generate
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({|\triangle V}_{{TG}}|\le 0.5V\)
</span>
leading to
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({|\triangle V}_{{BG}}|\le \sim 15V\)
</span>
nearing the limits for safe wearable/portable battery sensors. Translating the signal into larger electrical shifts via feedback control not only improves signal-to-noise ratios but also simplifies the downstream analog-to-digital conversion and processing.
</p>
<p>
It is important to recognize that the amplification factor is tunable and dependent on the dielectric and electrochemical configuration of both gates. Should different classes of analytes or sensing environments be employed—e.g., those requiring organic solvents or non-polar media—the selection of the electrolyte (including top gate electrode) and back gate oxide must be carefully optimized. This tunability provides flexibility for tailoring the sensor design to the biochemical context, making this approach highly versatile.
</p>
<p>
In addition to signal amplification, we also investigated the effect of DMF on the intrinsic electrical noise characteristics of the GFET. Specifically, we measured the low-frequency 1/f noise—commonly associated with charge carrier fluctuations and interfacial traps—which is a major limiting factor in the detection of small signals. Our measurements revealed that DMF operation significantly suppresses the current noise compared to open-loop configurations such as TGF (As shown in Fig.
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#MOESM1">
S8
</a>
). This noise suppression arises from the active stabilization of the channel current via the feedback loop, which dynamically compensates for fluctuations by modulating
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({V}_{{BG}}\)
</span>
. As a result, the residual noise is effectively transferred from the current domain to the voltage domain, where it appears as minor variations in the amplified
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({V}_{{BG}}\)
</span>
signal.
</p>
<p>
In Differential Mode Sweep (DMS) mode, the top gate is swept while the differential feedback loop actively adjusts the back gate, enabling dynamic characterization of the graphene channel response under a range of electrochemical conditions as shown in Fig.

<span class="mathjax-tex">
\(\frac{{C}_{{eff}}^{{TG}}}{{C}_{{eff}}^{{BG}}}\approx 10\)

in our system. To validate the dependence of this amplification factor on the electrolyte properties, we repeated the dual-gate mapping in Deionized Water (DIW). As shown in Fig.

, the reduced double-layer capacitance of DIW resulted in a significantly shallower slope of approximately 1.2. This confirms that the
<span class="mathjax-tex">

<span class="mathjax-tex">

Sensor performance and benchmarking
</h3>
<p>
To benchmark the performance of various operational modes discussed earlier and highlight the superiority of DMF, we evaluated a range of biological, environmental, and chemical targets. This assessment quantifies improvements in key sensing metrics, including sensitivity, limit of detection (LOD), SNR, hysteresis, and drift. To validate the universality of the DMF amplification mechanism, we selected a panel of analytes representing distinct electrostatic gating regimes. These analytes serve as model systems for specific sensing challenges: (1) pH validates the platforms response to fundamental ionic gating and Nernstian shifts; (2) Neurotransmitters test the resolution of small surface-doping signals from redox-active species; (3) IL-6 represents macromolecular sensing which validates the platforms utility for immunoassays involving large capture probes; and (4) VOCs and PFOA evaluate performance in gas-phase and liquid-phase adsorption and environmental contaminant monitoring. This selection confirms that the capacitive amplification described by theory is intrinsic to the device architecture and agnostic to the specific biochemical origin of the surface potential shift. To empirically verify this theoretical universality, we first examined the platforms response to the simplest gating mechanism: protonation changes in the electrolyte.
</p>
<p>
The detection of pH changes is a canonical application of liquid-gated GFETs due to the sensitivity of the electric double layer and the protonation/deprotonation of surface functional groups. In the single top gate (TGF/TGS) mode, pH sensitivity is manifested as a shift in the Dirac point voltage with increasing H

ion concentration. As shown in Fig.
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="figure anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#Fig3">

</a>
, the pH sensitivity of TGF was 214mV/pH and that of TGS exhibited significant drift (50.52%/hr; discussed later). Similarly, we calculated the sensitivity across different measurement modes described previously tabulated in Table
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="table anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#Tab2">

. We observed that dual-gate operation, particularly in differential feedback modes (DMF and DMS), enhances both the sensitivity and stability of pH sensing as shown in Fig.
<a data-track="click" data-track-action="figure anchor" data-track-label="link" href="/articles/s41699-026-00674-5#Fig3">

. Dual-gate operation in DMF mode achieved a remarkable pH sensitivity of 1314mV/pH, representing over a 6× amplification compared to single-gate modes—with an SNR of 21.64 and reduced drift of 0.66%/hr. This sensitivity represents the amplified back-gate readout voltage (
<span class="mathjax-tex">
\({\triangle V}_{{BG}}\)
</span>
), not the intrinsic surface potential shift at the electrolyte interface. While the interfacial potential shift remains governed by the Nernst limit (~59mV/pH), the DMF feedback loop multiplies this signal by the capacitance ratio, effectively acting as an in-situ voltage amplifier. These improvements are highlighted in Fig.

Following the confirmation of fundamental ionic gating, we investigated the systems ability to resolve signals from more complex, redox-active small molecules.

. Owing to differences in the formal potentials of various redox-active neurotransmitters, the top-gate response is distinct for each analyte and is further amplified and measured using the DMF mode. Having successfully resolved small redox-active species, we proceeded to challenge the sensor with larger, sterically complex protein biomarkers to validate its clinical utility.

The detection of large biomolecules such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) is critically important in clinical diagnostics, particularly for inflammatory disorders, autoimmune conditions, and cancer progression monitoring. IL-6 is a cytokine with a molecular weight of ~21kDa and a hydrodynamic diameter of approximately 46nm. Unlike small molecules or ions, large biomolecules pose unique challenges for GFETs due to limited charge transfer, slower diffusion kinetics, and steric hindrance near the graphene sensing surface.
</p>

To enable IL-6 detection, we functionalized the graphene surface with IL-6 antibodies, as described in “Methods” section, and subsequently tested the devices with increasing concentrations of IL-6. The results for TGF and DMF modes are shown in Fig.

, we achieved an LOD of ~10ng/mL for TGF and ~1ng/mL for DMF. This improvement highlights the capability of the feedback mode to resolve minute surface potential shifts caused by antibody-antigen binding that are otherwise buried in the noise floor of passive operating modes. Upon IL-6 binding, a net change in the local charge distribution and interfacial dipole potential shifts the Dirac point voltage, which in DMF mode was further amplified into a back-gate voltage response. These results, while demonstrated here for IL-6 detection, highlight a generalizable sensing paradigm applicable to a wide range of analytes and capture chemistries. The dual-gating strategy can, in principle, be extended to other clinically relevant targets such as cancer biomarkers (e.g., prostate-specific antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen), whole cells (e.g., circulating tumor cells, bacteria), and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, microRNA). Likewise, the graphene transducer can be functionalized with diverse capture elements—including antibodies, aptamers, nucleic acids, and even intact cells—enabling both molecular and cellular detection in a label-free manner. Similar GFET-based devices have been reported for CRISPR-mediated nucleic acid detection with attomolar sensitivity via Cas-mediated cleavage products

The generality arises from graphenes high interfacial sensitivity, the tunable surface chemistry for immobilizing different biorecognition layers, and the capability of the DMF mode to amplify surface-potential changes into measurable electronic signals.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) represent a critical class of persistent organic pollutants widely used in industrial and consumer products due to their hydrophobic and lipophobic properties. Their environmental persistence and bioaccumulation potential pose serious health risks, necessitating sensitive and field-deployable detection technologies. In this work, we demonstrated the applicability of dual-gated GFETs for detecting representative PFAS compounds— specifically perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). The results are shown in Fig.

. TGF showed a sensitivity of 229mV/dec with a LOD of 88 ppb and an SNR of 3.34, while DMF amplified the sensitivity to 3318mV/dec, lowered the LOD to 3.45 ppb, and improved the SNR to 22.49. These results confirm the suitability of dual-gated GFETs for sensitive, real-time detection of PFAS contaminants in water. To further expand the scope of environmental monitoring beyond liquid contaminants, we investigated the sensors response to gas-phase volatile organic compounds.

VOCs such as ethanol, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol are crucial indicators in environmental monitoring, breath analysis, and industrial safety. VOC molecules adsorb onto the graphene surface via physisorption or π-π interactions, modulating the carrier density and inducing a measurable shift in the Dirac point. The extent and direction of the shift depend on the electron-donating or withdrawing nature of the VOC; for example, 2-propanol typically acts as an electron acceptor, shifting the Dirac point toward more negative gate voltages.
</p>

Stability analysis and drift comparison
</h3>
<p>
Long-term signal stability is a critical parameter in the design and operation of graphene-based chemical and biological sensors. Signal drift—which manifests as a gradual shift in the Dirac point or sensor output over time in the absence of analyte changes—can significantly impair sensitivity, reproducibility, and the reliability of quantitative measurements. Drift is often attributed to charge trapping/detrapping at the dielectric interface, ionic migration in the electrolyte, or hysteresis effects related to surface interactions. To evaluate and compare drift performance across different gating configurations, we systematically measured the time-dependent response of GFET sensors under both air-phase and liquid-phase conditions. The results are summarized in Fig.

presents the signal drift observed during VOC sensing using three different back-gate configurations: BGF, BGS, and DMF. In the BGS mode, where the back-gate voltage is continuously swept during measurement, we observed significant signal drift—up to 38.91% per hour—which severely compromises signal stability and renders real-time sensing unreliable. In contrast, maintaining the back gate at a constant voltage in BGF mode drastically reduced drift to just 0.17% per hour, indicating that the sweeping process itself induces substantial disturbance, likely due to dynamic charge trapping in the gate dielectric or substrate, however, in this mode SNR is lower. The DMF configuration, which incorporates active feedback from the source-drain current to dynamically adjust the back gate, showed a moderate drift of 2.65% per hour. While this is higher than the static BGF case, it represents a &gt;15× reduction in drift compared to BGS, and crucially, it preserves the amplification gain described earlier.

for four configurations: TGS, TGF, DMF, and DMS. The TGS mode exhibited the highest drift at 50.52% per hour, consistent with the known instability of continuously swept electrolyte gates, where ionic redistribution and interfacial charge trapping dominate. TGF mode, where the electrolyte gate is held at a fixed potential, achieved the lowest drift, as expected, by minimizing ionic motion and electrostatic perturbation. Notably, the DMF mode reduced drift to just 0.66% per hour, representing a ~76× improvement over TGS, while still enabling dynamic control of the back gate and enhanced signal amplification. The DMS mode, where both gates are swept, produced a drift of ~7.03% per hour, which, while higher than DMF, still reflects a 7× reduction in drift compared to TGS.
</p>
<p>
The stark differences in drift performance across various operational modes highlight the critical role of gate modulation strategy in dual-gated GFET systems. In both air and liquid environments, gate voltage sweeps exacerbate charge trapping and hysteresis, particularly at the dielectric and graphene—electrolyte interfaces, ultimately degrading long-term reliability. By contrast, the active back-gate control in DMF mode provides real-time compensation of electrostatic fluctuations, dramatically stabilizing the sensor response. This enhanced drift suppression is key for enabling continuous, long-term monitoring in real-world sensing applications.

<p>
In this work, we introduce a dual-gated graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) architecture that integrates a high-κ local back gate with an electrolyte top gate, enabling real-time, feedback-stabilized signal amplification for chemical and biological sensing. This asymmetric dual-gate design addresses longstanding limitations of single-gate GFETs—such as signal drift, hysteresis, and limited sensitivity—by eliminating the need for dynamic gate sweeps and reducing charge trapping and dielectric relaxation. Through systematic evaluation of multiple biasing modes across a broad set of analytes (pH, neurotransmitters, volatile compounds, environmental toxins, and proteins), we demonstrated that the Differential Mode Fixed configuration achieves superior performance, delivering &gt;20× higher sensitivity, &gt;7× noise reduction, and &lt;15× drift compared to conventional methods. Maintaining constant transconductance via back-gate feedback enables over tenfold signal amplification while preserving a low-noise baseline, supporting robust, label-free detection in aqueous and physiologically relevant environments. Finally, the use of scalable materials and straightforward feedback electronics makes this platform readily adaptable to other 2D materials and miniaturized sensing technologies. While the Differential Mode Fixed mode offers significant advantages in signal fidelity, we acknowledge certain operational limitations inherent to this active feedback architecture: the stability of the feedback loop is sensitive to the capacitive load of the electrolyte, the high amplification factor requires sufficient voltage headroom at the back gate; and since the signal gain is derived from the capacitance ratio, the amplification factor is dependent on the ionic strength of the media, requiring calibration when transitioning between electrolytes with vastly different double-layer capacitances. Overall, this work defines a new operating paradigm for graphene-based sensors and provides a blueprint for designing high-performance, drift-resistant FET biosensors capable of real-time, multichannel analysis in complex environments.

Graphene transfer was carried out using a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-assisted wet transfer method. Commercial monolayer graphene on copper foil was spin-coated with PMMA and baked at 150°C for 2min. To remove backside graphene, the reverse side was exposed to 25W oxygen plasma in a Harrick cleaner for 15min. Copper was then etched in ammonium persulfate solution (Transene company), and the PMMA/graphene stack was transferred onto the prepared gate stack through multiple rinsing in deionized (DI) water baths, followed by nitrogen drying.

To enhance adhesion of graphene to the gate-stack, the fabricated substrate was exposed to a brief 1-min plasma treatment before picking up the floating film. Water was allowed to evaporate at 50°C for 15min, followed by baking at 150°C for 15min. The PMMA layer was removed by soaking in acetone for 4h, followed by a final bake at 200°C for 15min to improve adhesion. To define the active graphene channel, the SPR3012 resist was spin-coated, and photolithography was used to pattern non-channel regions. Exposed graphene was removed via plasma etching, and the resist was stripped by soaking in acetone for 4h. Finally, an SU-8 encapsulation layer was spin-coated, exposed, and developed to passivate the device and define the electrolyte-exposed sensing window. A commercial platinum wire electrode (BASi, Inc.) was used as the top gate.

Circuit integration and electrical measurements
</h3>
<p>
Each fabricated GFET was wire-bonded onto a custom-designed printed circuit board (PCB) that housed the measurement and control electronics. The system was managed by an Atmega2560 microcontroller. Analog signal conditioning was performed using TL074 operational amplifiers, with analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) handled by an MCP3204 module and digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) provided by an MCP4822 module. Relay switching between operational modes and grounding states was implemented using ULN2003A Darlington arrays, driven by GPIO lines expanded via an MCP23S08 I/O expander. The implementation of this relay-based multichannel architecture has a distinct impact on operational scalability and data integrity. The platform hosts multiple independent GFET sensors on a single silicon chip, which are individually addressable via the PCB interface. By utilizing electromechanical relays to provide complete galvanic isolation for inactive devices, the system eliminates electrical crosstalk common in passive matrix arrays. This design ensures that the multichannel readout preserves the intrinsic noise floor and sensitivity of a single isolated sensor while facilitating the robust statistical validation presented in this work.
</p>
<p>
Each device could be independently switched to active or grounded states through relay control to minimize electrostatic discharge and leakage during inactive phases. Different biasing configurations (e.g., single-gate static, dual-gate dynamic) were established by selectively routing voltage and current lines through the relays. Drain current was sampled at 1kHz over a 500ms window and averaged to yield a steady-state value, while low-frequency noise characterization was performed by collecting 2-s current traces for offline analysis. For feedback modes (DMF, DMS), devices were initialized to a target current corresponding to a back-gate potential of 46V. This biasing strategy ensures the sensor operates within the optimal dynamic range of the feedback amplifier, preventing signal saturation. For static modes (TGF, BGF), the signal is defined as the change in output voltage of the transimpedance amplifier, calculated as
<span class="mathjax-tex">

For pH sensing, potassium chloride electrolyte in DIW was adjusted using hydrochloric acid (HCl) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and pH was verified using a VWR Versatile bench-top pH meter calibrated with standard buffer solutions. Each pH value was tested across six devices.
</p>
<p>
Small-molecule sensing (e.g., dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine, ascorbic acid, and uric acid) was performed by preparing stock solutions in PBS and diluting serially to desired concentrations. Measurements were repeated on 6 devices per analyte to ensure reproducibility. Similarly, PFOA was tested with dilutions in DIW.

Volatile organic compound (VOC) detection was carried out in a custom-built sealed exposure chamber. Isopropanol was introduced via clean dry air (CDA) gas flow after aspirating a fixed volume of the liquid-phase VOC. Each exposure cycle was followed by purging and baseline recovery. Tests were conducted across 8 devices.

For IL-6 biosensing, graphene channels were functionalized using a carbodiimide crosslinking strategy. Briefly, pyrenebutyric acid (PBA) was adsorbed onto the graphene surface, followed by activation with EDC and NHS in MES buffer. Monoclonal IL-6 antibodies were then immobilized, and non-specific binding was blocked using 1% BSA in PBS. Devices were incubated with varying concentrations of IL-6 and washed before measurement. Each concentration point was tested across 6 devices.
</p>
<p>
For concentration response curves, measurements were repeated 6 times per concentration point for each device to assess repeatability. In the plots, data points represent the mean of these measurements, and error bars represent the standard deviation (

=6 scans). To accurately determine the Limit of Detection (LOD), particularly for IL-6 and PFAS, we utilized a log-log linearization method (detailed in Section S

). The LOD was extracted as the concentration corresponding to a signal of 3σ above the baseline noise floor.
</p>
<p>
Unless otherwise stated, gate sweeps were performed continuously to simulate real-time monitoring conditions. For Top Gate Sweep (TGS) measurements, the gate voltage was swept at a rate of 10mV/s (4 consecutive sweeps for representative curves). For Back Gate Sweep (BGS) measurements—conducted in ambient air or gas environments—the gate voltage was swept at a rate of 0.2V/s (3 consecutive sweeps). No inter-sweep delay was applied to capture the transient hysteresis dynamics relevant to rapid sensing applications. For drift measurements, specific protocols were established: Liquid-phase sweeps (TGS/DMS) were conducted at 10mV/s (approximately 1 sweep/3min), while gas-phase sweeps (BGS) were conducted at 25mV/s (approximately 1 sweep/7min).
