ABSTRACT:
A biochip device for electrical analysis of biological membranes. The device may include a substrate assembly defining an array of apertures and including thin-film devices configured to sense an electrical property of biological membranes that seal the apertures. The device also may include an electrical interface coupled electrically to the thin-film devices and configured to electrically couple the thin-film devices to a control apparatus. The electrical interface may define a plurality of interface elements, and the apertures may be in excess over the interface elements.
