    Abstract: The electrostatic sensors of bridge or cantilever type with multiple electrodes, the electrostatic sensors of comb type and piezoelectric sensors are used for the single molecule detection of ligands. The electrical driving of sensors is separated in some cases from the sensing for increased sensitivity. The large arrays of sensors with individual or common sensing circuits are employed to further improve detection sensitivity. The fabrication of the sensors, their functionalization for detection of many chemical and biological species and electrical circuitry, packaging, microfluidic subsystem and the system architecture are also disclosed. The individual, specific sensing of single species or simultaneous detection of multiple species is realized. The freeze drying or critical point drying after exposure of sensors to ligands present in liquids and detection in reduced pressure or vacuum is employed for increased sensitivity, down to the single molecule.

    Abstract: A disclosed chemical detection system for detecting a target material, such as an explosive material, can include a cantilevered probe, a probe heater coupled to the cantilevered probe, and a piezoelectric element disposed on the cantilevered probe. The piezoelectric element can be configured as a detector and/or an actuator. Detection can include, for example, detecting a movement of the cantilevered probe or a property of the cantilevered probe. The movement or a change in the property of the cantilevered probe can occur, for example, by adsorption of the target material, desorption of the target material, reaction of the target material and/or phase change of the target material. Examples of detectable movements and properties include temperature shifts, impedance shifts, and resonant frequency shifts of the cantilevered probe. The overall chemical detection system can be incorporated, for example, into a handheld explosive material detection system.

    Abstract: A method for enhancing the detection sensitivity of a piezoelectric microcantilever sensor. The method may involve providing a piezoelectric microcantilever and inducing a change in the Young's modulus during detection of a species of interest. The change in the Young's modulus may be induced or enhanced by the application of a DC bias electric field to the piezoelectric layer that enhances non-180° polarization domain switching of the piezoelectric layer. The change in the Young's modulus may also result from binding of the species of interest to the piezelectric microcantilever sensor or a combination of binding and application of a DC bias electric field. Significantly enhanced detection sensitity results from the changed Young's modulus of the piezoelectric layer.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a biosensor having a microbeam linked to a support, at least one electrode a biological molecule A grafted onto the microbeam in a different zone from the zone where the electrode is embedded, and a mechanoelectrical transducer for converting variations of the mechanical properties of the microbeam into an electrical signal, when the biological molecule A is placed in contact with a biological molecule B to be detected and/or quantified. The method includes: formation of an electrode on fluoropolymer material sheet, passivation of the electrode(s), creation of the form of the biosensor in the sheet of polymer material and separation of this form from the sheet, functionalization either of a prefunctionalized zone or of a zone of the microbeam, this zone being different from the zone wherein the electrode is embedded, and grafting of a biological molecule A onto the functionalized zone.
