Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring arrangement for the detection of a chemical or biological component, in particular for the one- or multi-dimensional distribution of the component to be detected.
- a disadvantage of such arrangements is that with a two-dimensional local resolution, a large number of leads, bond pads and external leads are required, which on the one hand limits the real local resolution and on the other hand makes the downstream electronics enormous complicated. For example, multipotentiostats for such electrode arrays are still not commercially available today. The active sensor area thus remains limited by the number of electrodes.
- Japanese patent application JP 07335956 (Optical scanning two-dimensional sensor, 1995) describes an optical sensor with which two-dimensional scanning of a surface is possible.
- This sensor consists of a transparent first electrode and a photoconductive (photon-conductive) layer which is in contact with the surface of this electrode and which only experiences a change in conductivity in the area which is illuminated.
- the sensor comprises a functionalized layer, which is located on the photoconductive layer, and a second electrode, which is located away from the functionalized layer.
- the sensor arrangement of this amperometric measuring arrangement consists of inseiform metal electrodes in the form of metallic areas on the top of the photoconductive layer.
- the individual electrodes in-shaped metal electrodes
- the sensor area is not limited by the number of electrodes. The individual electrodes are addressed via the scanned light or laser beam.
- the photoconductive layer disadvantageously has a certain conductivity even in the dark (dark current). This means that the current is not only in the illuminated, but also in the unlit
- the local resolution is also limited by the fact that the ratio of the illuminated area to the total sensor area must be greater than the ratio of the conductivities in the illuminated and dark state.
- Another disadvantage is the relatively slow switchover time in the millisecond range, which is often not sufficient, especially for fast chemical reactions, for example for applications in electrophysiology.
- the first electrode must be transparent to practice this measurement principle. This severely limits the selection of materials that can be used, especially when considering sensor technology-compatible embodiments of the sensor.
- the electrodes proposed in the Japanese patent application are slightly smaller in diameter than the laser beam. This regularly limits the use of electrodes of different sizes and limits the use of lasers with different wavelengths.
- the object of the invention is to provide a measuring arrangement for the detection of a chemical or biological component which enables a one- or two-dimensional distribution of the component to be detected and which does not have the disadvantages described in the prior art. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a corresponding measurement method for the detection of a one- or multi-dimensional distribution of a chemical or biological component.
- the measuring arrangement according to claim 1 comprises a first electrode and a substrate which is in direct contact with the first electrode. Furthermore, the measuring arrangement comprises one or more photosensitive structures which are formed on or / and in the substrate. Each of these photosensitive structures comprises at least one photosensitive contact. In the event of light, the height of the potential barrier advantageously changes with this contact.
- the measuring arrangement according to the invention further comprises a passivation layer for isolating the photosensitive structures and the substrate. A functionalized layer is in direct contact with the surface of the photosensitive structure.
- Electrode has no direct contact with this functionalized layer.
- the species to be detected or the analyte solution is located between the functionalized layer and the second electrode and is in contact with both at the same time.
- the photosensitive structure consists of at least one photosensitive contact. Any contact in which the height of the contact barrier changes under the lighting can be used as a photosensitive contact.
- the photosensitive contact can be used as a metal-semiconductor contact (e.g. Schottky barrier, Schottky diode), pn junction, pin diode, avalanche diode etc. or as a heterocontact (e.g. semiconductor semiconductor, ion conductor Semiconductors, metal oxide semiconductors, polymer Semiconductors, biomaterial semiconductors, cell semiconductors, etc.).
- the functionalized layer also called transducer layer, contains a (bio) / chemically sensitive material (e.g. ion, immuno, enzyme, gas, liquid sensitive). It is in direct contact with the species to be detected.
- the properties of the functionalized layer change, for example, ions or bio-elements. It can consist of one or more layers, such as. B. metal layers or electrodes, membrane-covered layers, enzyme-covered layers, which are usually used in chemical and biosensor technology.
- the surface or upper layer of the photosensitive structures can advantageously also be formed as a functionalized layer.
- the passivation layer isolating the photosensitive structures comprises materials as are known as passivation materials from the prior art. These include in particular polyimides, epoxy resins, Si0 2 , Si 3 N 4 or Al 2 0 3 .
- Si, GaAs or InSb are particularly suitable as materials for the substrate.
- a counter and / or reference electrode immersed in a liquid is used as a suitable second electrode.
- the surface or the upper one Layer of the photosensitive structure used simultaneously as a functionalized layer.
- the sensor or the measuring arrangement can advantageously be manufactured entirely using silicon or thin-film technology.
- the measuring arrangement according to the invention has the following advantages over the prior art: an improved signal-to-noise ratio and thus a better detection sensitivity due to the lower dark current;
- the external illumination of the sensor can take place from all sides, with the minimal local one when illuminated from above. Resolution can be achieved by the transducer layer or electrode geometry and / or by the contact geometry to less than 1 ⁇ xvi 2 ;
- the deposited functionalized layers or electrodes can also be subsequently changed in their properties by means of galvanic modification (for example, a spatially resolved galvanic deposition of materials or a realization of multi-sensor arrays is also possible);
- the arrangement can also be used as an actuator, for example for generating ions or gases.
- the method according to the invention for one- or two-dimensional detection of an analyte substance according to claim 6 is carried out with a measuring arrangement.
- This includes photosensitive contacts in contact with a functionalized layer, the properties of which change on contact with the analyte substance.
- the method includes the step of changing the potential barrier in the photosensitive contact when a photosensitive contact is illuminated.
- a voltage (reverse voltage) is applied between two electrodes, the photosensitive contact being in the blocked region.
- the level of the potential barrier in the photosensitive contact then changes. This has a direct change in the current in the illuminated
- the change in the current can be detected as a measure of the analyte substance to be detected.
- a one- or multi-dimensional distribution of the species to be detected is advantageously achieved if the Substrate surface is illuminated and scanned in a targeted and defined manner under illumination. This can be done in a more suitable manner by means of a punctiform light beam or also suitably by means of a laser beam.
- a further application of the measuring arrangement according to the invention can also be used advantageously for spatially resolved deposition of metal.
- the blocking function of the photosensitive contacts is used in a suitable manner to enable current flow and thus metallic deposition at defined points (eg illuminated points).
- Figure 1 illustrates the structure of an arrangement as it can be used to measure different substances to be detected in an analyte.
- the measuring arrangement consists of a first electrode 1, a substrate 2, which is in direct contact with the first electrode 1 or is itself designed as an electrode.
- the passivation continues to function as the electrical insulation of 1 and / or 2.
- the functionalized layer (transducer layer) 5 is on the one hand in direct contact with 3 and on the other hand in direct contact with the species to be detected 6.
- the second electrode or electrode arrangement 7 is located away from 5, but in direct contact with 6
- a voltage reverse voltage
- the height of the potential barrier in the photosensitive contact 3 then changes. This then results in a direct change in the current only in the illuminated area through the chemical or biochemical reaction at the interface to the transducer layer 5.
- a one-dimensional or multidimensional distribution of the species 6 to be detected can be achieved if the surface of the arrangement is scanned in a targeted and defined manner under illumination.
- the materials that can be used for the different layers are listed in the description above.
- FIG. 2 corresponds to the arrangement from FIG. 1.
- the photosensitive structure or surface 3 instead of the transducer layer 5 additionally present in FIG. 1, the photosensitive structure or surface 3 itself is designed as a transducer layer 5.
- the materials used for this transducer layer 5 correspond to those listed in Example 1.
- FIG. 3 corresponds in structure to the arrangement from FIG. 1, one or more pn junctions 8 being located on or in the substrate 2 as the photosensitive structure 3.
