METHOD FOR OPERATING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH BIOFETS

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250130198 titled 'METHOD FOR OPERATING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH BIOFETS

Original Abstract Submitted

a method includes following steps. a beating pulse of a cardiac cell is monitored by using a biologically sensitive field-effect transistor (biofet) disposed within a semiconductor substrate. a temperature around the cardiac cell is detected by using a temperature-sensing diode disposed within the semiconductor substrate. in response to the detected temperature falling below a predetermined threshold, the cardiac cell is heated by using a heater disposed within the semiconductor substrate. the cardiac cell is placed within a fluid containment region above the biofet, and the temperature-sensing diode occupies a larger area within the fluid containment region than the heater.
