An electronic device has two bonded members. The first member comprises a substrate defining a fluid channel for receiving a fluid, and first and second electrodes formed on the substrate and separated by the fluid channel. The second member comprises a substrate and a semiconductor formed on the substrate. The semiconductor has a modulatable electrical property. The members are bonded with the semiconductor bridging the electrodes across the fluid channel and being proximate to the fluid channel, thus allowing the electrical property of the semiconductor be modulated by the fluid received in the fluid channel. The electrodes and the semiconductor may consist essentially of carbon nanotubes. The substrates may comprise a laminable material. Each substrate may consist essentially of a polymeric material.
