The 4th generation of sequencing will be marked by electrical sensing, an even more prominent role of CMOS and the shift from standard to advanced CMOS technology with nano-dimensions. This is the key to further increase the number and density of sensing sites, and to increase system throughput and to reduce the cost, towards 10 dollar per genome.

In this webinar, we will showcase how CMOS processing can help build the next exciting phase in the human genomics journey with new capabilities for diagnosis, therapy and follow-up.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

  • how millions of sensors, microwells and miniature reactors can be post processed on top of a CMOS wafer with analogue frontends, logic and memory functions

  • what the advantage is of smart precision microfluidics for sample prep

  • how a unique cell sorter device can improve the extraction of cfDNA and barcoding

  • how advanced FinFET transistors and ultrasmall nanopore devices can accelerate the basecalling process.
