Biosensors

The course focuses on the purpose, design, fabrication, operation, testing and conformance to design criteria of micro and nano sensors, and associated software processes in several biomedical applications, with an emphasis on implantable devices. Topics include: Sensor concepts and design criteria (power consumption, operability parameters, sensitivity, sampling, selectivity, linearity, drift, measurement, detection limitations), sensor acquisition and processing methods, device operability and performance, sensor integration and software processing, microfabrication (silicon-based devices, organic devices) and microarrays.
