Abstract
To a biomolecule measuring apparatus, a semiconductor sensor for detecting ions generated by a reaction between a biomolecular sample and a reagent is set. The semiconductor sensor has a plurality of cells which are arranged on a semiconductor substrate, and each of which detects ions, and a plurality of readout wires. Each of the plurality of cells has an ISFET which has a floating gate and which detects ions, a first MOSFET M2 for amplifying an output from the ISFET, and a second MOSFET M3 which selectively transmits an output from the first MOSFET to a corresponding readout wire R1. Each of the plurality of cells is provided with a third MOSFET M1 which generates hot electrons in the ISFET and which injects a charge to the floating gate of the ISFET. Here, the second MOSFET and the third MOSFET are separately controlled.
