Electron biosensors

Most electronic biosensors involve the measurements in solutions, and thus the detection schemes greatly rely on electrochemical methods, which can be used to monitor electronic signals produced from electrochemical reactions or changes of electronic...

Due to their advantages over conventional optical arrays, electronic biosensor transducers and arrays have attracted intensive research interest in recent years. The vast majority of those efforts, however, are focused on the use of FETs as transducers and only a few groups have successfully prototyped their array devices [46-54]. The obvious reason for this is the high cost of mask making and chip fabrication. Among them, the CMOS process dominates due to the easy access to commercial CMOS foundries. 

The use of TFTs in electronic biosensor array is still limited. Various TFT-based DNA and protein transducers have been developed either with poly-Si or amorphous silicon TFTs [4,58]. Although proved to be successful as sensor transducers, working TFT-based sensor arrays have not reported in the literature. This is largely attributed to the fact that TFT foundries are mostly specialized for the manufacturing of LCD backplanes and not commercially available to researchers. 

From the point of view of electronic biosensor array applications, both CMOS and TFT technologies clearly have advantages and disadvantages. CMOS represents the state-of-the-art for...
