Abstract

An overview is given of CMOS-based sensor- and actuator chips for in-vitro applications in the biotechnology area. We address the challenges and the potential of the combination of solid-state circuits with the wet world of bio molecules and living cells. Basic biological operating principles, market considerations, extended CMOS processing issues and concrete circuit examples are discussed.
