  • Publication number: 20100276734
    Abstract: Electrochemical biosensor arrays and systems, as well as methods of making the electrochemical biosensor arrays and systems, are described herein. The electrochemical biosensor systems can be used with CMOS detection circuits that have a plurality of chemical detection and/or actuation channels or sites. The biosensor systems generally include a first inert conducting electrode disposed on a first portion of a CMOS detection circuit and a polymeric layer adjacent the first inert conducting electrode. The biosensor systems can also include a capture biomolecule bound to the polymeric layer. The biosensor system can also include the CMOS detection and/or actuation circuit having a plurality of channels.

  • Publication number: 20040075140
    Abstract: A microsensor system, in particular gas sensor system, is integrated on a single chip and includes a microsensor, preferably a resistive-film-sensor configuration, with a microheater, the latter preferably of essentially round, elliptic or polygonal structure. The microsensor is located on a thermally insulated semiconductor structure, e.g. a thin membrane. Further included or integrated on the chip may be one or more first circuits for controlling the microheater and/or second circuits for evaluating or processing the measured values obtained from the microsensor. The first circuits may include power and/or temperature controller for the microheater. The second circuits may include an A/D converter, a digital signal processor, a digital output interface for processing sensor signals and transferring them to external devices, and/or potentiostats to regulate the electrode potential applied to the gas-sensitive layer.
