This paper presents the integration of interdigitated microelectrodes and a CMOS circuit for electrochemical sensing of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Gold electrodes with a gap of 3 µm are fabricated by the lift-off technique. The CMOS sensing circuit has a current gain of 10, an integrating capacitor of 4 pF, and a measured dynamic range of 60 dB. The applied reduction and oxidation potentials are determined by voltammetry at about −0.2 V and 0.6 V, respectively. The measured collection efficiency can reach up to 84%. The produced oxidation current with respect to dopamine concentration averages 0.44 nA µM −1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
