INTEGRATED SENSORS Khaled SALAMA King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Saudi Arabia Abstract – Over the past few years, we have witnessed a significant increase in research on biological systems by engineers for environmental and biomedical diagnostics. Despite efforts to develop chips for biological assay detection, there continues to be a need to improve implementations of micro-scale detection and processing systems for further convenience, scaling and portability. We will provide a comprehensive study of the design and analysis of CMOS integrated image sensors, integrated biosensors, and electronic backbone of MEMS hybrid sensors. Topics include: silicon photodetectors; CCD and CMOS sensor architectures and circuits; Affinity-based detection and biochemical transduction; optical, electrochemical, and mechanical transducer design; integrated microarrays, biochips, and sensor SoCs.
