    Abstract: An apparatus includes a flow cell body, a plurality of electrodes, an integrated circuit, and an imaging assembly. The flow cell body defines one or more flow channels and a plurality of wells. Each flow channel is configured to receive a flow of fluid. Each well is fluidically coupled with the corresponding flow channel. Each well is configured to contain at least one polynucleotide. Each electrode is positioned in a corresponding well of the plurality of wells. The electrodes are operable to effect writing of polynucleotides in the corresponding wells. The integrated circuit is operable to drive selective deposition or activation of selected nucleotides to attach to polynucleotides in the wells to thereby generate polynucleotides representing machine-written data in the wells. The imaging assembly is operable to capture images indicative of one or more nucleotides in a polynucleotide.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a flow cell body, a plurality of electrodes, an imaging assembly, and one or more barrier features. The flow cell body defines one or more flow channels and a plurality of wells defined as recesses in the floor of each flow channel. Each well is fluidically coupled with the corresponding flow channel. The flow cell body further defines interstitial surfaces between adjacent wells. Each well defines a corresponding depth. Each electrode is positioned in a corresponding well of the plurality of wells. The electrodes are to effect writing of polynucleotides in the wells. The imaging assembly is to capture images of polynucleotides written in the wells. The one or more barrier features are positioned in the wells, between the wells, or above the wells. The one or more barrier features contain reactions in each well, reduce diffusion between the wells, or reduce optical cross-talk between the wells.

    Abstract: Provided herein include various examples of an apparatus, a sensor system and examples of a method for manufacturing aspects of an apparatus, a sensor system. The method may include forming bumps on a surface of one or more electrical contacts, where the one or more electrical contacts are accessible on an upper surface of a die, where the die is oriented on a substrate, and where the electrical contacts comprise bonding pads. The method may also include coupling one or more additional electrical contacts to the one or more electrical contacts, where the coupling comprises wire-bonding each additional electrical contact of the additional electrical contacts to one of the one or more electrical contacts accessible on the upper surface of the die, via a portion of the bumps on the surface of the one or more electrical contacts, thereby forming wire-bonded connections.

    Abstract: Examples herein include an apparatus having a substrate, a sensor over the substrate including an active surface and a sensor bond pad, a molding layer over the substrate and covering sides of the sensor, the molding layer having a lower portion with a first molding height relative to a top surface of the substrate and an upper portion with a second molding height relative to the top surface of the substrate, the first molding height and the second molding height each being greater than a height of the active surface, the second molding height being great than the first molding height; and a lidding layer over at least some of the lower portion of the molding layer and over the active surface. The lidding layer and the molding layer form a space over the active surface of the sensor that defines a flow channel.
