    Abstract: An apparatus includes a series of pipeline stages that have logic components connected to supply output data to latch components, timing correction blocks connected to the latch components, and a memory component connected to supply a correction pattern to the timing correction blocks. The timing correction blocks have a buffer connected to a multiplexor. The correction pattern controls whether the multiplexor receives an adjusted clock signal through the buffer to control whether the timing correction blocks supply an unadjusted clock signal or the adjusted clock signal to the latch components.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure including a device (e.g., a field effect transistor (FET), a biosensor FET (bioFET) or an ion-sensitive FET (ISFET)) with a fluid-based gate. The structure includes a substrate, an intermediate layer on the substrate, and a semiconductor layer on the intermediate layer. The device includes, within the semiconductor layer, a source region, a drain region, and a channel region between the source and drain regions. The structure includes, for the fluid-base gate, a cavity within the intermediate layer below the channel region and lined with a dielectric liner. Optionally, the exposed surface of the dielectric liner within the cavity is functionalized. Additional dielectric layers are stacked on the semiconductor layer and at least one port extends essentially vertically through the dielectric layers, the semiconductor layer and the dielectric liner to the cavity so as to allow fluid for the fluid-based gate to flow into the cavity.
