Integrated device arrays

A chip-type micro reactor array comprises parallel mixer units composed of inverse mixing tees, each followed by a micro channel that it is surrounded by heat exchange micro channels (so called channel-by-channel approach similar to the tube-in-tube concept). Such an integrated device was developed as a stack of microstructured plates made of a special glass, termed Foturan (Figure 4.26). The integrated device was attached to PTFE tubes of various lengths. 

Variations of semiconductor PL and EL intensities resulting from analyte adsorption are promising techniques for chemical sensing. When coupled with films such as MIPS, the selectivity of such structures may be improved. Integrated devices in which forward- and reverse-biased diodes are juxtaposed using microelectronics fabrication methods provide an opportunity to create completely integrated sensor structures on a single chip and to prepare arrays of such structures. 

This type of integrated chemical synthesizer comprises a device array of micronsized wells and connecting channels in a substrate that interfaces with a station for dispensing fluids to and collecting fluids from the array and for performing analytical measurements of material in the well. The station is also connected to control apparatus to control the fluid flow to the channels and wells and to collect measurement data from the substrate. All the mentioned elements are independent and together they can perform a variety of tasks in parallel [85],... 

Besides the biomolecular probes and the packaging components, the electronic components of a fully integrated biosensor array can be divided into three categories transducer, array addressing circuit, and measurement unit. As the most widely used microelectronic devices, FETs play an important role in all these three categories. 

It became possible to array and arrange selectively non-spherical and irregularshaped polymer NCs by encapsulation on a patterned substrate using the tapered cell method. In addition, this repeated procedures may produce a heterogeneously ordered array structure composed of encapsulated NCs and/or MPs having different optoelectronic, photonic, and magnetic properties, which may lead to integrated device application such as functional photonic crystals and super-lattice structure [61].
