Silicon-on-Insulator Technology for Bioluminescence Imaging and Application to a Switching Photodetector

Maher Kayal, Adil Koukab, Denis Sallin, Nisrina Abdo

This paper analyzes some advantages of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) based photodetectors for bioluminescence imaging. It shows that SOI based sensors not only solve the bulk carriers problem, it can also act as a very selective spectral filter by acting as a ...

Memristive Biosensors Under Varying Humidity Conditions

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Camilla Baj-Rossi, Francesca Puppo, Akshat Dave

We attempt to examine the potential of silicon nanowire memristors in the field of nanobiosensing. The mem- ristive devices are crystalline Silicon (Si) Nanowires (NWs) with Nickel Silicide (NiSi) terminals. The nanowires are fabricated on a Silicon-on-Ins ...

Beyond Scaling

Luca De Michielis

Over the recent decades, the balance between increasing the complexity of computer chips and simultaneously reducing cost per bit has been accommodated by down-scaling. While extremely successful in the past, this approach now faces grave limitations leadi ...
