OPTICAL DETECTION FOR BIO-ENTITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353603 titled 'OPTICAL DETECTION FOR BIO-ENTITIES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an integrated semiconductor device for manipulating and processing bio-entity samples.

  • The device includes a lower substrate, which serves as the base for the device.
  • It also includes at least one optical signal conduit, which is used to transmit optical signals.
  • The device has at least one cap bonding pad, which is used for bonding the cap to the lower substrate.
  • A cap is included in the device, which forms a capped area and is placed on the cap bonding pad.
  • The device has a fluidic channel, which is formed on both the lower substrate and the cap.
  • The device includes a photosensor array, which is connected to sensor control circuitry. This allows for the detection and processing of optical signals.
  • The device also includes logic circuitry, which is connected to both the fluidic control circuitry and the sensor control circuitry. This allows for the control and processing of the fluidic channel and the photosensor array.


Original Abstract Submitted

An integrated semiconductor device for manipulating and processing bio-entity samples and methods are described. The device includes a lower substrate, at least one optical signal conduit disposed on the lower substrate, at least one cap bonding pad disposed on the lower substrate, a cap configured to form a capped area, and disposed on the at least one cap bonding pad, a fluidic channel, wherein a first side of the fluidic channel is formed on the lower substrate and a second side of the fluidic channel is formed on the cap, a photosensor array coupled to sensor control circuitry, and logic circuitry coupled to the fluidic control circuitry, and the sensor control circuitry.
