Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in order to detect the fluorescence reaction etc. by optical means in the above-mentioned DNA microarray, not only the instrument becomes very large, but also it is difficult to detect the hybridization in real time.
Similarly, in the automatic sequencer method using the Sanger method, the fluorescent dye-labeled DNA fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis, the dyes of the labeled fragments are excited by irradiating laser light, and the signals are detected by a fluorescent detector. Not only does the instrument become very large , and also cannot detect in real time

Embodiment approach 2

[0050] Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to each drawing.

[0051] Figure 5 It is a top view of Embodiment 2 of a capacitor. In the present embodiment, by providing insulating film 40 between comb-shaped electrode 20 and comb-shaped electrode 30 facing each other at a slight interval, the distance between the opposing electrodes is made as narrow as possible. In this way, by narrowing the distance between the electrodes, the capacitance of the capacitor can be increased and the sensitivity of the sensor can be improved. The insulating film 40 is a film that isolates the comb-toothed electrodes 20 and the comb-toothed electrodes 30 without communication (short-circuiting), and can also be called a separation wall, a partition wall, a separation member, a separation member, or a partition. member. As the insulating film 40, for example, an organic insulating material such as polyimide is suitable. As described below, surface treatment with polyim...

Abstract

The present invention provides a biosensor which comprises: a sensor matrix where sensor cells are arrayed in a matrix, a row driver for supplying a predetermined voltage signal to sensor cells arrayed in the row direction of the matrix, and a column driver for supplying a predetermined voltage signal to sensor cells arrayed in the column direction of the matrix. Each of the sensor cells has: a capacitive element (Cs) composed of a pair of opposed electrodes on which a probe DNA immobilized on the electrode surface selectively reacts with the target DNA; a transistor (Tr2) for varying the value of the current outputted from a drain terminal in response to the variation of the capacitance of the capacitive element (Cs) caused by DNA hybridization, and a switching element (Tr1) for supplying a voltage signal supplied from the column driver to the current input terminal of the transistor (Tr2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a biosensor used for gene analysis, biological information analysis, and the like. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the progress of the genome project, the genetic structure of each organism has been gradually elucidated. In order to link this result with the analysis of life phenomena, the deciphering of the base sequence of DNA and the functional analysis of genetic information are becoming research topics. As a system for simultaneously monitoring the expression levels of all genes in cells, a DNA microarray can be used. In this array, the reverse transcription reaction of mRNA or total RNA extracted from cells or tissues is performed to prepare probe DNA, and after high-density dot printing on substrates such as glass slides, the fluorescent dye-labeled target DNA contains the probe DNA. The target DNA hybridization of the base sequence complementary to the DNA, the fluorescence pattern is observ...
