In this study, a thin-film LAPS was fabricated with amorphous silicon (a-Si) deposited on a transparent glass substrate. The current-voltage characteristics and pH sensitivity of the fabricated a-Si LAPS were investigated. %K LAPS %K chemical imaging sensor %K amorphous silicon %K pH sensor %U http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/4/10/163
