CMOS-basierte Sensorsysteme für die In-vitro-Diagnostik (CMOS-based sensor systems for in-vitro diagnostics)
Alexander Hofmann, Benjamin Saft, Eric Schäfer
IMMS develops and researches sensor systems for in-vitro diagnostics with CMOS-based biosensors as their core technology. The aim is to develop bioanalytical applications for individual, decentralised health monitoring with electronic rapid tests, among other things. Thematically, the R&D work is divided into optical and electrochemical CMOS biosensors, which will be presented in the talk.
The focus of the electrochemical CMOS biosensors is on the development of miniaturised, potentiometric pH sensors, so-called ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs), which are manufactured in a cost-effective, mass-compatible standard CMOS process.
With optical CMOS biosensors, the focus is on the development of specialised image sensors with lock-in technology for the detection of weak fluorescence signals. In particular, these sensors enable time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) measurement and are suitable for applications in which conventional CMOS sensors reach their sensitivity limits.

Core topic
CMOS-based biosensors
We are researching CMOS-integrated transducers and their interaction with biological receptors. They offer the potential for precise, digital and cost-effective point-of-care tests and allow properties to be recorded on a molecular scale.
Service for R&D
Integrated Circuits
We offer the design and realisation of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) in CMOS, BiCMOS and SOI technologies. We achieve well-performing ASICs with our first runs (first-time right silicon).
Research field
Integrated sensor systems
Here we investigate miniaturised systems manufactured in semiconductor technology consisting of microelectronic components for sensors applications, as well as methods to design these highly complex systems efficiently and safely.
Lead application
Sensor systems for in-vitro diagnostics
Here we are developing sensor systems for in-vitro diagnostics that enable individual, decentralised health monitoring for all with electronic rapid tests.
