    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an interdigitated electrode biosensor using dielectrophoresis, including an insulating layer configured to fully cover a sensor forming region of a substrate, a first interdigitated microelectrode configured such that a plurality of first protruding electrodes is arranged in a shape of a comb on the substrate, a second interdigitated microelectrode configured such that a plurality of second protruding electrodes is arranged in a shape of a comb and each interdigitates with the plurality of first protruding electrodes formed in the first interdigitated microelectrode, and a plurality of receptors that is immobilized in a space between the first interdigitated microelectrode and the second interdigitated microelectrode and reacts specifically to target biomaterials, wherein different voltages are uniformly or nonuniformly applied to the first interdigitated microelectrode and the second interdigitated microelectrode to generate a dielectrophoretic force by a nonuniform electric field, and thus there are effects in improving the sensitivity and the detection width of the sensor by increasing the probability of specific reaction with the target biomaterials using the concentration effect through dielectrophoresis.
