Outline of Final Research Achievements

Chemistry integrated circuits, where several chemical reactions are controlled and detected, have been developed. New analog CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) circuits based on current-mode operation were proposed to realize low-power and high-accuracy sensors. Multimodal sensor arrays with potentiometric, amperometric, impedimetric, and photometric 64x64 sensors have been designed and fabricated. MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) were integrated on CMOS circuits to control the chemical reactions and the transport of chemical reagents. Stand-alone and hand-held equipment has been developed, and single bacterium was successfully detected using dielectrophoresis and impedance measurement.
