EOSFET
Encyclopedia
An EOSFET or electrolyte-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor is a FET
, like a MOSFET
, but with the metal replaced by electrolyte
solution for the detection of neuron
al activity. Many EOSFETs are integrated in a neurochip

MOSFET
The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor is a transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals. The basic principle of this kind of transistor was first patented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925...

Electrolyte
In chemistry, an electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that make the substance electrically conductive. The most typical electrolyte is an ionic solution, but molten electrolytes and solid electrolytes are also possible....
solution for the detection of neuron
Neuron
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling. Chemical signaling occurs via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons connect to each other to form networks. Neurons are the core components of the nervous...

Neurochip
A neurochip is a chip that is designed for the interaction with neuronal cells.- Formation :It is made of silicon that is doped in such a way that it contains EOSFETs that can sense the electrical activity of the neurons in the above-standing physiological electrolyte solution...
