Summary
Introduction
There is an opportunity for greatly increased synergy between electronics and biology, fostered by the march of electronics technologies to the atomic scale, and by rapid advances in system, cell, and molecular biology. The convergence of biology and electronics has the potential for significant impacts on many areas important to national economies and well-being, including healthcare and medicine, homeland security, forensics, and protecting the environment and the food supply. Electrochemical biosensors are label-free detection, which eliminates the external labels or indicators and greatly shortens the assay time. They are widely used for the detection of protein binding events, hybridized DNA, neuron tissue, bacteria, and enzyme reactions.
Miniaturized sensor arrays are capable of parallel analysis of multiple parameters. Because of the distinct advantages of microsystem platforms, there has been a trend to integrate sensor arrays onto the surface of silicon chips and perform measurement using on-chip CMOS electronics [1–3]. At the same time, there is a great opportunity to expand lab-on-a-chip solutions that replace bulky benchtop sample analysis tools with simple, low-power, portable systems. The fabrication compatibility between many bio/chemical sensor interfaces and CMOS technology makes a CMOS circuit an outstanding candidate for a silicon-based lab-on-chip solution [4].
