Low-power / High-temperature sensors and MEMS in SOI technology

Moreno-Hagelsieb L., Bulteel O., André N., Gerard P., Raskin J-P, Flandre D., Université catholique de Louvain / SENSOI, BE

Low-power and high-temperature sensors and MEMS designs based on bulk, SOI and IC compatible materials and processes. Target markets are in general public sensors for UV, ozone, CO, liquids presence, e.g. in mobile devices. In [...]

Label-Free Protein Nano-Biosensor Using Top-Down Fabrication

Ah C.S., Ahn C-G, Kim A., Yu H.Y., Ahn C-G, Yang J.H., Baek I-B, Park C.W., Jun M.S., Lee S.J., Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), KR

A nanosensor of n-type Si field-effect transistor (FET) via “top-down method” was employed to monitor PSA with great selectivity and high sensitivity up to 10 pg/mL. When a biomaterial, negatively charged PSA, is introduced through [...]

Electrical Detection of DNA Hybridization using Adjacent Impedance Probing (AIP) Method

Zhou H., Ma K-S, Madou M., Zoval J., Madou M., University of California Irvine, US

Sensitivity and selectivity are two of the most challenging criteria for the development of DNA biosensor devices. These biosensor devices have attracted interest for the rapid identification of pathogens in humans, animals, and plants, for [...]
