  • Publication number: 20060027905
    Abstract: A biosensor that has a smart card configuration includes a semiconductor chip including a bioactive structure and contact areas disposed on a first side of the semiconductor chip, and a rewiring substrate including contact pads, external contact areas and rewiring lines that electrically connect the contact pads to the external contact areas. The rewiring substrate covers a portion of the first side of the semiconductor chip without covering the bioactive structure, such that the rewiring substrate overlaps the contact areas of the semiconductor chip and the contact pads and the contact areas are aligned with and electrically connect to each other. In addition, a measuring apparatus is configured to receive the biosensor and conduct measurements of a fluid medium that is delivered into the measuring apparatus.
