PREFACE
The emerging generation of health care that offers dramatic improvements in disease detection will likely be enabled by bioelectronics, a frontier discipline at the interfaces of electronics, biology, physics, chemistry, and materials science. By integrating these diverse scientific fields, bioelectronics will revolutionize how we interact with, measure, and understand biological systems, enabling emerging technologies from DNA injection to implantable sensors in the human body. This paradigm shift will have enormous impact on improving the quality and hopefully reducing the cost of health care.
CMOS Biomicrosystems provides contemporary coverage of major advances as the well-established CMOS microelectronics technologies are employed to provide innovative solutions in the broad areas of biomedical applications. The book is an overview of the numerous new advancements in this exciting field of microelectronics that is “meeting” biology. It contains many applications and examples of CMOS systems already realized or being developed for providing new tools to interface to biology.
The topic of biomicrosystems is a very active research area worldwide, as the various areas in this field are enjoying considerable popularity. The book contains a broad overview of many different applications of CMOS technology and fabrications, ranging from electrocardiograph and electroencephalogram signals acquisition to molecular and cell detection to in vivo imaging systems. The book is more ...
