FBAR-CMOS sensor for label-free chemical and biological detection

Summary

Kenneth L. Shepard, Ph.D.

Technology Benefits

High sensitivity without complicated and expensive instrumentationLabel-free detectionCompact size, enabling small, distributable devicesSupported resonator is more robust and less challenging to manufacture than suspended membrane resonatorsPatent information:Patent Pending (US 20120164753)Tech Ventures Reference: IR M09-083

Technology Application

DNA hybridization-based detection via mass sensing, enabling highly specific, on-chip gene detectionAntibody- and other protein-based immunoassays for rapid and early detection of diseases such as HIV or cancerPortable, handheld chemical sensors for threat detection by security staff at public venues
