Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus relating to a large scale FET for measuring an analyte.SOLUTION: ChemFET (e.g., ISFET) arrays may be manufactured by using conventional CMOS processing technique based on an improved FET pixel and array design that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel size and high-density arrays. Such arrays may be employed to detect presence and/or concentration change of an analyte of various types in a variety of chemical and/or biological processes. In one example, the chemFET arrays facilitate DNA sequencing technique based on monitoring change in hydrogen ion concentration (pH), change in other analyte concentration, and/or binding events associated with the chemical processes relating to DNA synthesis.
