    摘要: A device for detecting a gas or gas mixture has a first and a second gas sensor. The first gas sensor is a MOSFET, which comprises a first source, a first drain, a first channel zone disposed between the latter elements, and a first gas sensitive layer capacitively coupled to the first channel zone that contains palladium and reacts to a change in the concentration of the gas to be detected with a change in its work function. The second gas sensor has, in a semiconductor substrate, a second source, a second drain, and a second channel zone between the latter elements, which is capacitively coupled via an air gap to a suspended gate. The latter comprises a second gas sensitive layer that reacts to a change in the concentration of the gas to be detected with a change in its work function. The second gas sensitive layer is arranged on a support layer and faces the air gap. The support layer is formed by another semiconductor substrate, and the first gas sensor is integrated in the front side of the second semiconductor substrate facing away from the air gap.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detecting and/or determining the concentration of a ligand contained in a solution to be analyzed, during which a receptor, which can enter into a specific bond with the ligand, is immobilized on a semiconductor chip at a test location. In order to bind the ligand to the receptor, the solution is applied to the test location. A luminescence radiation or a color change is generated according to the binding of the ligand to the receptor. A radiation measurement signal is picked up with the aid of a radiation receiver integrated in the semiconductor chip, whereas the solution and/or an auxiliary liquid that does not contain the luminophore is in contact with the radiation receiver. While the generation of luminescence radiation is prevented and the radiation receiver is in contact with the auxiliary liquid and/or with a substitute liquid, a darkness measurement signal is measured for the radiation receiver. The radiation measurement signal is compensated for with the darkness measurement signal

    摘要: In a method for producing a sensor arrangement and the resulting sensor arrangement, a sensor is provided on or in a chip and the chip is covered with a protective cover, the cover being an interface between the sensor and the environment. An adhesive layer is provided between the chip and the protective cover, the adhesive layer alone or together with the protective cover being an interface between the sensor and the environment. The protective cover and/or the adhesive layer may have a channel formed therein, the channel functioning as the reception channel for a sensor. In an alternative embodiment, the protective cover placed on a wafer with several chips, and the wafer is cut up to produce the individual chips with the protective cover. Thus, a sensor arrangement may have the protective cover applied to the individual chip after the chip is cut from the wafer, or the protective cover may be applied to the wafer, and the wafer and cover are then cut up into the individual chips and corresponding covers. The channel leading from one side of the arrangement to the sensor may be taken through the adhesive layer, through the protective cover, or through both. A hole may be formed in the protective cover above the sensor, with the sensor lying loosely in the hole. The reaction volume may be determined by the dimensions of the hole.

    摘要: A device (1) for the carrying out of investigations on cell cultures (2) which take place in a liquid culture medium (4). The device possesses at least a receptacle (3) to contain the culture medium (4) including the cell culture (2), wherein one or more sensors (6) for measurement of the cell culture activities is provided and wherein the receptacle (3) has at least an opening for the adding and the removal of liquid culture medium (4) and the like. A separating element (7) can be introduced into the open upper part of the receptacle (3) and can be brought within the said receptacle (3) in a position close to the bottom (5), in which the said separating element (7) makes a boundary forming a partial space (8) which has a small volume in relation to the entire volume of the receptacle (3). Further, a flow channel (9) is provided, which first, communicates with the small volume partial space (8), and second, communicates with the said reservoir (14). This flow channel (9) and/or the sensors (6) are placed in the area of the small volume partial space (8). By means of the capability for adjustment of the separating element (7) as to its distance from the bottom of the receptacle (3), in the neighborhood of the cell culture (2) a microreaction volume exactly fitting the current requirements can be adjusted. By means of the flow channel (9), the cell culture (2) in the small volume partial space (8) stands in fluid communication with that in the reservoir. For the regeneration of the cell culture solution in the small volume partial space, the separating element (7) can be elevated and depressed, or it is possible, to inject into the small volume partial space of the receptacle (3) a quantity of liquid and by means of a through-flow channel. In this case, a convective mixing of fresh and spent medium takes place through the flow channel (9) between the small volume partial space and the reservoir (14).

    摘要: In a method for immobilizing molecules on a surface, a layer of a hydrophobic, e.g., a non-swelling polymer, may be applied to the surface and molecules are immobilized on a surface of the polymer layer. The hydrophobic polymers may be polyimide or polystyrene, and the surface to which the polymer layer is applied may be made of an inorganic material, e.g., a semiconductor material (silicon), a semiconducting oxide (silicon dioxide), glass, nitride, or ceramic. Hydrophobic polymers such as polyimide or polystyrene can be applied to the surface of an inorganic support with conventional methods. Further, they electrically insulate the support with respect to the molecules applied to the surface of the polymer layer or substances associated with these molecules. Thus, electrical sensors and processor circuits can be integrated into the support without any detrimental effect on their function due to molecules and substances applied to the surface of the polymer layer.

    摘要: The invention relates to a moisture sensor which comprises a receiving area on its surface for a moisture film, the layer thickness of which is dependent on the relative humidity in the surrounding of the receiving area. The moisture sensor has a signal source which is connected to at least one control electrode at at least one infeed, the electrode abutting the receiving area, for providing a control voltage to the moisture film. The moisture sensor comprises at least one potential sensor which has at least one sensor area, under the receiving area, which is spaced apart from the at least one infeed. The sensor area is electrically insulated from the receiving area by an insulation layer, located between the sensor area and the receiving area, in such a way that an electrical potential can be capacitively detected by means of the potential sensor, the potential being dependent on the layer thickness of the moisture film and the control voltage.
