Abstract
An apparatus includes a biosensor integrated circuit (IC) chip with sensing zones and/or well structures configured to receive a liquid with biological analytes. The chip includes passivation and etch stop layers with an opening over a channel layer and an array of liquid gated field effect transistors with a 2D channel disposed on a dielectric oxide layer. A conductive drain and a conductive source form edge and/or top side contacts with opposite ends of the 2D channel. The chip further includes reference electrodes formed in a metal layer, configured to contact the liquid, and disposed at a horizontal distance apart from the graphene channels. The transistors are operable to enable a set of measurements to sense parameters of the biological analytes based on changes in a shape of Id-Vgs transconductance curves. A system and a method have similar structures and perform the functions of the apparatus.
