Abstract:
A process for manufacturing components in a multi-layer wafer, including the steps of: providing a multi-layer wafer (8) comprising a first semiconductor material layer (9), a second semiconductor material layer (21), and a dielectric material layer (10) arranged between the first and the second semiconductor material layer (8, 9); and removing the first semiconductor material layer (9) initially by mechanically thinning the first semiconductor material layer (9), so as to form a residual conductive layer (9'), and subsequently by chemically removing the residual conductive layer (9'). In one application, the multi-layer wafer (8) is bonded to a first wafer (1) of semiconductor material, with the second semiconductor material layer (21) facing the first wafer (1), after micro-electromechanical structures (37) have been formed in the second semiconductor material layer (21) of the multi-layer wafer.
Abstract:
A biological molecules detection device includes a detection array (21), arranged on a body (2) and having one or more probes (26) for detecting corresponding electrically charged molecules (100) in a detection region (7), adjacent to the detection array (21); a time varying electric field generating circuit (22, 25, 30) is provided for generating at least one time varying electric field (E) around the detection array (21) within the detection region (7).
