Summary: In the past two decades, there have been numerous attempts to take advantage of semiconductor solutions (broadly defined) to create high-performance biosensors and bio-molecular detection devices. The goal has always been to create molecular diagnostics technologies that offer the cost efficiency, miniaturization capabilities, and manufacturing robustness of consumer electronics devices. The outcome so far has not been very exhilarating and unfortunately there have been few impactful products based on such efforts.
In this talk, we will discuss the use of CMOS processes and ICs for biotechnology in the form of integrated biochips. The focus will be not only on the design, manufacturing, and the packaging of biochips, but on the biochemistry and applications requirements. We will also discuss in detail a few implemented biochips that InSilixa is currently developing for commercialization in the nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) testing applications.
