  • Adjustable bilayer capacitance structure for biomedical devices
    Patent number: 10976302
    Abstract: A nanopore sequencing device is disclosed. The nanopore sequencing device includes a working electrode. It further includes a dielectric layer, wherein a portion of the dielectric layer is disposed horizontally adjacent to the working electrode and a portion of the dielectric layer is disposed above and covering a portion of the working electrode, and wherein the dielectric layer forms a well having an opening above an uncovered portion of the working electrode. A base surface area of the working electrode is greater than a base surface area of the opening above the uncovered portion of the working electrode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 13, 2021
    Assignee: Roche Sequencing Solutions, Inc.
