This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Overview of Lab-on-Chip Laboratory-on-Chip (LoC) is a multidisciplinary approach used for the miniaturization, integration and automation of biological assays or procedures in analytical chemistry [1–3]. Biology and chemistry are experimental sciences that are continuing to evolve and develop new protocols. Each protocol offers step-by-step laboratory instructions, lists of the necessary equipments and required biological and/or chemical substances [4–7]. A biological or chemical laboratory contains various pieces of equipment used for performing such protocols and, as shown in Fig. 1.1, the engineering aspect of LoC design is aiming to embed all these components in a single chip for single-purpose applications. 1.1.1 Main Objectives of LoC Systems Several clear advantages of this technology over conventional approaches, including portability, full automation, ease of operation, low sample consumption and fast assays time, make LoC suitable for many applications including. 1.1.1.1 Highly Throughput Screening To conduct an experiment, a researcher fills a well with the required biological or chemical analytes and keeps the sample in an incubator for some time to allowing the sample to react properly. Afterwards, any changes can be observed using a microscope. In order to quickly conduct millions of biochemical or pharmacolo- cal tests, the researchers will require an automated highly throughput screening (HTS) [8], comprised of a large array of wells, liquid handling devices (e.g., mic- channel, micropump and microvalves [9–11]), a fully controllable incubator and an integrated sensor array, along with the appropriate readout system.

This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book The book includes a variety of techniques that are conducting biosensors as transducers. The single die has all of the biosensors implemented within it, which leads to a new generation of multibiosensors named as multi-labs-on-a-single chip (MLoC). Biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biologically sensitive element with a physical or chemical transducer to detect the presence of specific compounds selectively and quantitatively. This book explores the feasibility of microelectronic techniques in a successful attempt to get huge cost savings in mass production, fast reacting, and disposable biosensors. The book is lied in six chapters and four appendices. These sensors were implemented using CMOSP35 technology on a single-chip that covers new techniques for detecting biomedical and biological samples at low concentration level based on CMOS/MEMS technology batch process. The methodology of the proposed multibiosensors that is named by multi-lab-on-a-chip (MLoC); lies on miniaturizing transducers, which is based on optical CMOS technology, charge based capacitance measurements (CBCM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and CMOS microcoils incorporating with interdigitated microelectrode array (IDMA). The aforementioned approaches technically proved their capability and reliability overwhelmingly among the used conventional techniques for that reason these techniques have been proposed to create compact and portable biosensors for sensitive and rapid detection of biomedical and biological samples. While the four proposed biosensors have common objectives they differ in the method and analysis used, and postulates engaged by a discipline to achieve the objectives; the inquiry of the principles of investigation in a particular field.

Download or read book Poly SiGe for MEMS above CMOS Sensors written by Pilar Gonzalez Ruiz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polycrystalline SiGe has emerged as a promising MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) structural material since it provides the desired mechanical properties at lower temperatures compared to poly-Si, allowing the direct post-processing on top of CMOS. This CMOS-MEMS monolithic integration can lead to more compact MEMS with improved performance. The potential of poly-SiGe for MEMS above-aluminum-backend CMOS integration has already been demonstrated. However, aggressive interconnect scaling has led to the replacement of the traditional aluminum metallization by copper (Cu) metallization, due to its lower resistivity and improved reliability. Poly-SiGe for MEMS-above-CMOS sensors demonstrates the compatibility of poly-SiGe with post-processing above the advanced CMOS technology nodes through the successful fabrication of an integrated poly-SiGe piezoresistive pressure sensor, directly fabricated above 0.13 m Cu-backend CMOS. Furthermore, this book presents the first detailed investigation on the influence of deposition conditions, germanium content and doping concentration on the electrical and piezoresistive properties of boron-doped poly-SiGe. The development of a CMOS-compatible process flow, with special attention to the sealing method, is also described. Piezoresistive pressure sensors with different areas and piezoresistor designs were fabricated and tested. Together with the piezoresistive pressure sensors, also functional capacitive pressure sensors were successfully fabricated on the same wafer, proving the versatility of poly-SiGe for MEMS sensor applications. Finally, a detailed analysis of the MEMS processing impact on the underlying CMOS circuit is also presented.
