  • Patent number: 10833264
    Abstract: A method for producing a memory cell includes providing a non-conductive substrate, mounting a first conductor track made of conductive material on the non-conductive substrate, mounting a porous dielectric with or without redox-active molecules in a form of points on the first conductor track, and mounting a second conductor track orthogonally to the first conductor track, wherein the first and second conductor tracks have an electrode function at their intersection point, and wherein the porous dielectric is arranged between the electrodes. The method further includes mounting a passivation layer on the substrate, the first conductor track, the dielectric, and the second conductor track, so that the conductor track remains contactable. The first and the second conductor track form a memory at their intersection point with the dielectric arranged between them, in which the redox reaction of the redox-active molecules is configured to be driven by a voltage.

  • Patent number: 7632670
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sensor comprising a substrate, a source contact region, a drain contact region, and the gate oxide of a transistor. A gate electrode is disposed between the gate oxide and a detection electrode made of a nonconducting material. The contact area Asens between the gate electrode and the detection electrode is larger than the contact area Agate between the gate electrode and the gate oxide, whereby the receptor can be immobilized on the surface of the detection electrode in a technically simple manner while the small contact area Agate between the gate electrode and the transistor provides for high sensitivity for detecting the analyte. According to the inventive method for detecting at least one analyte, at least one analyte is brought into contact with a receptor immobilized at the detection electrode so as to modify the electrical charge at the surface of the detection electrode. The analyte is detected by detecting the modified voltage in the transistor.
