Abstract:Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) biosensors are employed in various applications such as disease monitoring, drug investigation, detection of pollutants, and biological fluid studies. In this paper, a novel MOEMS biosensor based on a differential folded-flexure structure is introduced. The designed device is employed to detect prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protein and Hepatitis DNA. The target molecules cause a mechanical deflection in the folded-flexure; subsequently, the transmitted optical po… Show more
