  • Abstract

    Ion Sensitive Field-Effect Transistor (ISFET) is a kind of sensor that able to differentiate the ion by replacing the gate of the FET with electrode and the membrane. Membrane acts as selector for the ions whereas the sensor detects the ions and converts it into electrical signal. However, the sensor has weakness to detect main ion from the interfering ion in the mixed solution when the ions have same characteristic.  In this work, potassium ion (K+) and ammonium ion (NH4+) was used as the sample for both ions that have similar size.  To overcome the problem, the sensor needs to be trained for pre-calibrate and pre-process by developing a model of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in MATLAB software. The ANN makes the model learn the pattern by the sample of inputs and outputs to estimate results or to get more accurate data. Backpropagation is used as the learning method of ANN model. The objective of this work is to develop ANN model for ISFET sensor that able to estimate the main ion in mixed solution by learning the pattern of the input and output of the sensor. The ANN model performance can be optimized by altering certain parameters in the learning algorithm. The results show that the model is able to predict with 97% accuracy and has strong and precise estimation ability with R-factor of 91.55%.
