CMOS technologies and their ongoing downscaling trend have opened an avenue to developing integrated systems for life sciences. This book explores the theoretical and practical aspects of CMOS biosensors and discusses the fundamentals of biological applications and microfabrication.

Developing capacitive sensors for use in life sciences requires thorough knowledge of both the intended biological applications and CMOS circuitry. This book addresses the principles, design, implementation and testing, and packaging of CMOS circuits for biomedical applications, plus relevant biological protocols.

Integrating experimental, theoretical and simulation examples, this book provides broad coverage of the emerging field of CMOS biochips by drawing in a range of disciplines: microelectronics, microfluidics and classical biology and chemistry.

1.1 Overview of Lab-on-Chip Laboratory-on-Chip (LoC) is a multidisciplinary approach used for the miniaturization, integration and automation of biological assays or procedures in analytical chemistry [1-3].
