Popis: | Multiplexed, real-time and low cost detection of bioanalytes can be achieved by building integrated biosensor microarrays. The lack of design guidelines for this kind of biochip leads to inferior results com- pared to individual biosensors. In this paper, we thoroughly study the impact of considering several pixels per spot on the performances of integrated biosensor microarrays. By taking into account the biologi- cal shot noise and electrical characteristics of the transducer, we theoretically calculate how dividing each spot into several pixels improves the limit of detection and the resolution of the overall biosensor microarray without degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. More particularly, we show that the improve- ment of the limit of detection depends on the individual biosensor performance while the resolution is enhanced proportionally to the square root of number of pixels per spot. Performance trade-offs, CMOS compatibility and numerical results for optical, field-effect and capacitive biosensor microarrays having multiple pixels per spot are finally established. |
