Abstract

To come up to the demand for extremely sensitive biosensors for parallel real-time bioanalyses, we present two configurations of label-free biosensors on Silicon-on-Insulator optical chips. We discuss results on microring resonators and the design and fabrication of an integrated Surface Plasmon Resonance interferometer. The high refractive index contrast material offers submicron-size features with high quality for dense integration, high sensitivity and detection with very low analyte volumes. Fabrication with Deep UV lithography allows for mass production of cheap disposable biochips.
