Semiconductor bio-electronic devices incorporating biochemical stabilization layers

摘要

Improved bio-electronic devices in which a layer of a polyhydroxy oligomer is provided between the surface of a semiconductor material and an electronically active biochemical molecule which is designed to be bound to the semiconductor surface to provide an electronic device. The layer of polyhydroxy oligomer functions as a biochemical stabilization layer to prevent denaturization of the electronically active biochemical molecule.
