Sputum characterization using SiGe high-frequency monolithic sensors
EXASENS
Zielstellung
There is a growing demand for “all-electrical” sensor platform in conjunction with microfluidic techniques for biosensing in order to circumvent the existing problems of optical sensors, therefore, eventually leading to more compact lab-on-chip devices. SiGe high-frequency circuits offer the platform for all-electrical biosensing along with front-end electronics on the same chip. For tuberculosis detection, characterization of sputum using IHP SiGe BiCMOS high-frequency sensor is the main objective of the project.

Beitrag des IHP
Designing of the monolithic BiCMOS sensor and the read-out circuit is the main contribution of IHP in the project. IHP along with University of Potsdam, has already established the first high-frequency dielectric immunosensor for creatinine. Polymer based microfluidic system was integrated with the BiCMOS high-frequency chips for particle concentration detection in aqueous solution.
