This course has been initiated to introduce students to biosensors and microfabricated systems for biosensing, primarily on silicon,
so that they can get on with their seminars and projects in these areas. The focus of this course would be to acquaint students to
device structures, analysis of the structures to obtain device characteristics and finally approaches to design and test of these
devices and systems. Pre-requisite: Introductory courses on device physics & differential equations. If a first level course on
devices has not been taken, students should get an introduction to the area by reading a book such as `Semiconductor Devices:
Physics & Technology` by SM Sze [John Wiley, 2002]. The broad structure of the course would be: Weeks 1-2: Approaches to
designing electronic systems Sensor classification & sensing principles Introduction to biosensors & bioMS Weeks 3-6:
