AB  - A low temperature solution-processed thin-film transistor (TFT) using zinc oxide 
      (ZnO) film as an exposed sensing semiconductor channel was fabricated to detect 
      and identify various solution solvents. The TFT devices would offer applications 
      for low-cost, rapid and highly compatible water-soluble detection and could 
      replace conventional silicon field effect transistors (FETs) as bio-sensors. In 
      this work, we demonstrate the utility of the TFT ZnO channel to sense various 
      liquids, such as polar solvents (ethanol), non-polar solvents (toluene) and 
      deionized (DI) water, which were dropped and adsorbed onto the channel. It is 
      discussed how different dielectric constants of polar/non-polar solvents and DI 
      water were associated with various charge transport properties, demonstrating the 
      main detection mechanisms of the thin-film transistor.
