  • Fabrication process of a biosensor on a semiconductor substrate
    Patent number: 8440470
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fabrication process of a biosensor on a semiconductor wafer, comprising steps of: making a central photosensitive zone comprising at least one pixel-type biological analysis device comprising a photosensitive layer, and a first peripheral zone surrounding the central photosensitive zone, comprising electronic circuits. The first peripheral zone is covered by a hydrophilic coating, and the central photosensitive zone is covered with a hydrophobic coating. A barrier of a bio-compatible resin is formed on the second peripheral zone.
