RESUMEN
In this work, we present a novel pH sensor using efficient laterally coupled structure enabled by Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET) processes. This new sensor features adjustable sensitivity, wide sensing range, multi-pad sensing capability and compatibility to advanced CMOS technologies. With a self-balanced readout scheme and proposed corresponding circuit, the proposed sensor is found to be easily embedded into integrated circuits (ICs) and expanded into sensors array. To ensure the robustness of this new device, the transient response and noise analysis are performed. In addition, an embedded calibration operation scheme is implemented to prevent the proposed sensing device from the background offset from process variation, providing reliable and stable sensing results.
