Twenty-four-micrometer-pitch microelectrode array with 6912-channel readout at 12 kHz via highly scalable implementation for high-spatial-resolution mapping of action potentials
2017
A 24-μm-pitch microelectrode array (MEA) with 6912 readout channels at 12 kHz and 23.2-μVrms random noise is presented. The aim is to reduce noise in a “highly scalable” MEA with a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor integration circuit (CMOS-MEA), in which a large number of readout channels and a high electrode density can be expected. Despite the small dimension and the simplicity of the in-pixel circuit for the high electrode-density and the relatively large number of readout channels of the prototype CMOS-MEA chip developed in this work, the noise within the chip is successfully reduced to less than half that reported in a previous work, for a device with similar in-pixel circuit simplicity and a large number of readout channels. Further, the action potential was clearly observed on cardiomyocytes using the CMOS-MEA. These results indicate the high-scalability of the CMOS-MEA. The highly scalable CMOS-MEA provides high-spatial-resolution mapping of cell action potentials, and the mapping can aid u...
