However, the capacitive nature of encapsulated probes demands circuits with ultra-high input impedance and low 1/f noise, which are not trivially achieved using flexible transistors. Here, we show an a-IGZO based capacitive bootstrapped cascode buffer where the input impedance is actively controlled to allow capacitive electric potential measurements. By exploring different biasing schemes of the cascode element, we show a relative gain of 55 dB and a bandwidth between 450 Hz and 19 kHz.
