Project Description

Today electronics provides the means for complex computing and drives the communication society. The availability of electronics has been enabled to a large extent by integration  technology. In analogy to electronics the same concept of integration is today pursued in analytics and chemical synthesis. These "labs on chips’; as they are called, will enable better and faster medical diagnosis. Silicon-based electronic components for biochemical sensing, as they are developed in this project, are crucial elements for such chips.
