With technology scaling reaching the fundamental limits of Si-CMOS in the near future, the semiconductor industry is in quest for innovation from various disciplines of integrated circuit (IC) design. At a fundamental level, technology forms the main drive ...
We have realized an implantable and wearable system for the continuous monitoring of human metabolites, such as glucose, lactate, ATP, etc.. The implantable portion of the device consists of a cylinder of 2.2 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length to be insert ...
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 ...
The electronics industry is present nowadays in the most various applications. A new type of technology for integrated circuits named BCD has started to be developed and appeared from the mid 1980’s. This new technology allows integrating bipolar transisto ...
Biosensing for chronic pathologies requires the simultaneous monitoring of different parameters such as drug concentrations, inflammation status, temperature and pH. In this paper we discuss the design, fabrication and test of a sensor array hosting five b ...
At present, most of the tests involved in personalized medicine are complex and must be conducted in specialized centers. The development of appropriate, fast and inexpensive diagnostic technologies can encourage medical personnel in performing preventive ...
A System-in-Package (SiP) concept for the 3D-integration of a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) resonator with its CMOS driving electronics is presented. The key element of this advanced SiP is the monolithic 3D-integration of the MEMS with the CMOS elec ...
