Integrated electronic device for detecting molecules and method of manufacture thereof

Abstract

An integrated electronic device for detecting gases or biological molecules having a microchip comprising integrated electronics manufactured by the CMOS process. The microchip includes a passivation layer. The passivation layer includes one or more windows configured to cover at least one electronic circuit component of the microchip. The one or more windows leave one or more contacts free. The microchip further includes a sensitive covering coupled with said one or more contacts.
