摘要
A CMOS-compatible process is presented which allows to realize sensor arrays for non-invasive, extracellular, high density, long term recording of neural activity. A high-permittivity bio-compatible dielectric is used to capacitivly couple nerve cell-induced biological signals to the CMOS circuitry-based electronic world. The transducer consists of a multi layer of TiO2 and ZrO2 and is fabricated in the backend of a 0.5 mum standard CMOS technology. Living cells are cultured within a specific package on top of the sensor chip. First measurements reveal proper operation of the chip.
