  • Patent number: 8466521
    Abstract: A hydrogen ion-sensitive field effect transistor and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The hydrogen ion-sensitive field effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer, a transistor gate, and a sensing film. A gate area is defined on the semiconductor substrate having a source area and a drain area. The insulating layer is formed within the gate area on the semiconductor substrate. The transistor gate is deposited within the gate area and includes a first gate layer. Further, the first gate layer is an aluminum layer, and a sensing window is defined thereon. The sensing film is an alumina film formed within the sensing window by oxidizing the first gate layer. Thus, the sensing film is formed without any film deposition process, and consequently the manufacturing method is simplified.

  • Patent number: 8410480
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a CMOS-MEMS cantilever structure. The CMOS-MEMS cantilever structure includes a substrate, a circuit structure, and a cantilever beam. The substrate has a circuit area and a sensor unit area defined thereon. The circuit structure is formed in the circuit area. The cantilever beam is disposed in the sensor unit area with one end floating above the substrate and the other end connecting to the circuit structure. With the above arrangement, the manufacturing process of CMOS-MEMS cantilever structure of this invention can be simplified. Furthermore, the structure of the cantilever beam is thinned down and therefore has a higher sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20120086020
    Abstract: This invention relates to an integrated photodetecting device. The integrated photodetecting device includes a substrate, a light source layer and a photodetector layer. The photodetector layer and light source layer are epitaxied in a stacked structure. The whole device in this invention is fabricated by epitaxy method during a single process. Therefore, the production cost can be reduced by the omission of alignment process. Besides, the integrated photodetecting device of the invention integrates the light source and photodetector into one chip, hence has the ability of minimization, resulting in the reduction of consumption of samples and test time. The distance between the photodetector layer and targets to be tested can also be largely reduced, making the accuracy and sensitivity largely improved, and the kinds of detectable targets largely increased. Furthermore, the integrated photodetecting device of the invention is a portable device so as to increase the possibility of preventive medicine.
