A high-voltage tolerant power-rail ESD clamp circuit is proposed, in which circuit devices can safely operate under the high power supply voltage that is three times larger than their process limitation without gate-oxide reliability issue. Moreover, an ESD detection circuit is used to effectively improve the whole ESD protection function by substrate-triggered technique. Because only low voltage (1*VDD) devices are used to achieve the object of high voltage (3*VDD) tolerance, the proposed design provides a cost effective power-rail ESD protection solution to chips with mixed-voltage interfaces.

A method of using Neutrilized DNA (N-DNA) as a surface probe for a high throughput detection platform is disclosed. FET and SPRi are used as high throughput detection platforms to demonstrate that the N-DNA surface probe produces good results and enhances detection sensitivity. The N-DNA modifies the charged oxygen ions (O−) on the phosphate backbone through methylation, ethylation, propylation, or alkylation, so that the backbone is not charged after this modification to increase the hybridization efficiency, sensitivity and to make the signal more clear.
