Smart Bio Chip —Fusion of Integrated Circuits Technology and Sensor Technology—

Abstract

We have been investigated “intelligent sensing” device chip that incorporates advanced intelligence by fusing LSIs, Sensors, and MEMS devices. These intelligent sensing devices are developed in a unique facility, where all the processes from the design to the evaluation of LSIs are consistently conducted in one organization, which is rare in the world according to the midterm assessment of the 21st Century COE. In this paper, we introduce our recent activity of smart bio chip.
