Micro-Electrode-Dot-Array Digital Microfluidic Biochips: Design Automation, Optimization, and Test Techniques

Micro-Electrode-Dot-Array Digital Microfluidic Biochips: Design Automation, Optimization, and Test Techniques

by Krishnendu Chakrabarty (Author), Tsung-Yi Ho (Author), Zipeng Li (Author)

Synopsis

This book provides an insightful guide to the design, testing and optimization of micro-electrode-dot-array (MEDA) digital microfluidic biochips. The authors focus on the characteristics specific for MEDA biochips, e.g., real-time sensing and advanced microfluidic operations like lamination mixing and droplet shape morphing. Readers will be enabled to enhance the automated design and use of MEDA and to develop a set of solutions to facilitate the full exploitation of design complexities that are possible with standard CMOS fabrication techniques. The book provides the first set of design automation and test techniques for MEDA biochips. The methods described in this book have been validated using fabricated MEDA biochips in the laboratory. Readers will benefit from an in-depth look at the MEDA platform and how to combine microfluidics with software, e.g., applying biomolecular protocols to software-controlled and cyberphysical microfluidic biochips.

Zipeng Li received the bachelor's degree in microelectronics from the Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 2013, and the master's and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering from Duke University, Durham, NC, USA, in 2015 and 2017, respectively. Dr. Li is currently a Senior DFT Engineer with Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA. His current research interests include design automation for biochips, design-for-test, 2.5-D/3-D ICs, and mixed-technology microsystems.
Tsung-Yi Ho received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 2005. He is a Professor with the Department of Computer Science, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan. His current research interests include design automation and test for microfluidic biochips and nanometer integrated circuits. He has presented 10 tutorials and contributed 11 special sessions in ACM/IEEE conferences, all in design automation for microfluidic biochips.

Prof. Ho was a recipient of the Invitational Fellowship of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, the Humboldt Research Fellowship by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the Hans Fischer Fellow by the Institute of Advanced Study of the Technical University of Munich, the best paper awards at the VLSI Test Symposium in 2013, and the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS in 2015. He is an Associate Editor of the ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems, ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems, ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS, and the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION SYSTEMS. He served as a Distinguished Visitor of the IEEE Computer Society for 2013 to 2015, the Chair of the IEEE Computer Society Tainan Chapter for 2013 to 2015, and the Chair of the ACM SIGDA Taiwan Chapter for 2014 to 2015. He currently serves as an ACM Distinguished Speaker, a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, and the Technical Program Committees of major conferences, including DAC, International Conference on Computer-Aided Design, Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference, Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference, International Symposium on Physical Design, and International Conference on Computer Design.
Chen-Yi Lee received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1982 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Katholieke University Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, in 1986 and 1990, respectively. From 1986 to 1990, he was with IMEC/VSDM, Leuven, researching in the area of architecture syn- thesis for DSP. In 1991, he joined the Department of Electronics Engineering and from 2003 to 2006. From 2000 to 2003, he was the Director of National CHIP Implementation Center and the Co-Ordinator of Microelectronics Program of Engineering Division, National Security Council, Taipei, Taiwan.
