چکیده
A monolithic CMOS microelectrode array (MEA) for stimulation and recording of electrogenic cells is presented. The chip features addressability of an arbitrary electrode subset for stimulation, complete on-chip signal conditioning and A/D conversion. The array has been fabricated using an industrial 0.6-μm, 5-V CMOS technology with a 2-mask post-CMOS processing. Measurements from neuronal and cardiac cells are presented.

A CMOS-based microelectrode array for interaction with neuronal cultures.
We report on the system integration of a CMOS chip that is capable of bidirectionally communicating (stimulation and recording) with electrogenic cells such as neurons or cardiomyocytes and that is targeted at investigating electrical signal propagation within cellular networks in vitro. The overall system consists of three major subunits: first, the core component is a 6.5 mm x 6.5 mm CMOS chi...

متن کاملCMOS microelectrode array for the monitoring of electrogenic cells.
Signal degradation and an array size dictated by the number of available interconnects are the two main limitations inherent to standalone microelectrode arrays (MEAs). A new biochip consisting of an array of microelectrodes with fully-integrated analog and digital circuitry realized in an industrial CMOS process addresses these issues. The device is capable of on-chip signal filtering for impr...
