Abstract :
In this paper, a charge-based capacitive sensor with embedded electrodes inside microchannel is described for precision and reliable bioparticle detection. Also, a highly accurate switching calibration technique for this capacitive sensor is presented. The simulation results are demonstrated to support the discussed objectives throughout the paper
