摘要： A field-effect magnetic sensor facilitates highly-sensitive magnetic field detection. In accordance with one or more example embodiments, current flow respectively between first and second source/drain terminals and a third source/drain terminal is controlled using inversion layers in separate channel regions for each of the first and second terminals. In response to a magnetic field, a greater amount of current is passed between the third source/drain terminal and one of the first and second source/drain terminals, relative to an amount of current passed between the third source/drain terminal and the other one of the first and second source/drain terminals.

摘要： A container for containing a perishable substance has a container wall with an inner side and an outer side. The wall has an electrically conductive layer extending between the inner side and the outer side. The inner side faces the space containing the substance. The container comprises electronic circuitry having a sensor for sensing a physical property or condition of the substance, and an antenna for communicating an RF signal to a receiver, external to the container. The RF signal is indicative of the physical property or condition sensed. The sensor is positioned so as to be exposed to the space containing the substance in operational use of the container. The antenna is positioned at the outer side, or between the outer side and the electrically conductive layer, and is electrically isolated from the electrically conductive layer.

摘要： A detector device comprises a substrate (50), a source region (S) and a drain region (D), and a channel region (65) between the source and drain regions. A nanopore (54) passes through the channel region, and connects fluid chambers (56,58) on opposite sides of the substrate. A voltage bias is provided between the fluid chambers, the source and drain regions and a charge flow between the source and drain regions is sensed. The device uses a nanopore for the confinement of a sample under test (for example nucleotides) close to a sensor. The size of the sensor can be made similar to the spacing of adjacent nucleotides in a DNA strand. In this way, the disadvantages of PCR based techniques for DNA sequencing are avoided, and single nucleotide resolution can be attained.

摘要： A method of manufacturing Schottky diodes in a CMOS process includes forming wells, including first wells (16) for forming CMOS devices and second wells (18) for forming Schottky devices. Then, transistors arc formed in the first wells, the second wells protected with a protection layer (20) and suicide contacts (40) formed to source and drain regions in the first wells.

摘要： A normally-off transistor includes a first region of III-V semiconductor material, a second region of III-V semiconductor material on the first region, a third region of III-V semiconductor material on the second region and a gate electrode adjacent at least one sidewall of the third region. The first region provides a channel of the transistor. The second region has a band gap greater than the band gap of the first region and causes a 2-D electron gas (2DEG) in the channel. The second region is interposed between the first region and the third region. The third region provides a gate of the transistor and has a thickness sufficient to deplete the 2DEG in the channel so that the transistor has a positive threshold voltage.

This method, which still is a potentiometric electrochemical measurement, exploits the temperature dependency of a surface-potential of an ion-sensitive dielectric in an analyte. The invention further provides an electrochemical sensor for determining a charged particle concentration in an analyte. The invention also provides various sensors which can be used to determine the charged particle concentration, i.e. EGFET's and EIS capacitors.
