As just pointed out, the development of integrated silicon based sensors structures is far and away the most advanced aspect of microfabricated chemical sensor research and development. It is now possible to visualize complex analytical chemistries being performed... 

If silicon technology is involved all thermal sensors suffer from the high thermal conductivity of silicon, which dramatically decrease their sensitivity [12]. However, by use of micromachining and integrated silicon technology a powerful thermal biosensor can be realized. Using a thermopile integrated on a thin micromachined silicon membrane reduces thermal loss due to the substrate and so excellent performance can be accomplished [13]. 

In some AFM adhesion measurements, integrated silicon or silicon nitride sharp tips are used instead of spherical particles. With integrated tips, the lateral distribution of the surface tension of a sample can be mapped or even imaged with a resolution of roughly 10 nm 172-751. It is, however, difficult to obtain quantitative results because the size and shape of the tip in the 1-10 nm regime is unknown and practically impossible to determine 176-78).

ADMET polymerization has been used to integrate silicon into linear and network hydrocarbon polymers in an attempt to produce novel materials with enhanced thermal and mechanical stability. While ADMET has been used to produce copolymeric architectures unattainable through conventional methods, application of this polymerization to synthesis is feasible only if the silicon-based functionality does not inhibit metathesis. This research, initiated in the early 1990s by Wagener and colleagues, has shown that the silane and siloxane... 

Also, chlorine-free production, which was attempted from the very beginning, is the less interesting, the more the silicone producers succeed in recycling chlorine in integrated silicones production [14].

Woolley et al. [5] have successfully integrated silicon PCR reactors with glass capillary electrophoresis (CE) chips (Fig. 2). They directly connected the PCR chamber and the CE chip through a micropattemed channel filled with a hydroxyethylcellulose sieving matrix. They have shown that the PCR amplification of a p-globin target cloned in M13 took only 15 min as well as the CE separation was completed within 120 s, providing a total PCR-CE analysis time under 20 min. In addition, they also... 

Graphene defects can be used to modify the electronic properties of a ribbon, and the versatile characteristics of graphene allow the development of graphitic materials with different properties, suggesting that it is a promising successor material of the well-integrated silicon technologies. 

In this 16X16 array each memory switch is in series with and thus isolated from the next by an integrated silicon p-n junction diode. The memory switches measuring about 30 ]U m in diameter consist of a film of amorphous memory material between two molybdenum electrodes. The x-address lines are seen to run over the round memory switches. The y-address lines are buried in the Si wafer in the form of an n silicon layer.
