Bio-Sensor That Uses Semiconductor Diode Structure
Dr. Sawamura of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) presented
a bio-sensor that uses a semiconductor diode structure at the nano tech 2009
show. This bio-sensor uses a metal-insulator-semiconductor diode formed on a
silicon substrate, and NIMS is targeting applications of the bio-sensor for
research and detection of infectious diseases and such. NIMS is already advancing
with the development of technology to mass produce the bio-sensor and is targeting
practical applications within two and a half to three years.
