    Abstract: An interdigitated electrode biosensor includes 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, 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. 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, improving the sensor by increasing the probability of specific reaction with the target biomaterials using the concentration effect through dielectrophoresis.
