Abstract Magnetic current imaging (MCI) using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and giant-magnetoresistive (GMR) sensors is an effective method for localizing defects and current paths [1]. The spatial resolution (and sensitivity) of MCI is improved significantly when the sensor is as close as possible to the current paths and associated magnetic fields of interest. This is accomplished in part by nondestructive removal of any intervening passive layers (e.g. silicon) in the sample. This paper will present a die backside contour-milling process resulting in an edge-to-edge remaining silicon thickness (RST) of < 5 microns, followed by a backside GMR-based MCI measurement performed directly on the ultra-thin silicon surface. The dramatic improvement in resolving current paths in an ESD protect circuit is shown as is nanometer scale resolution of a current density peak due to a power supply shortcircuit defect at the edge of a flip-chip packaged die.

AbstractWe report a microfluidic sandwich immunoassay constructed around a dual-giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensor array to quantify the heart failure biomarker NT-proBNP in human plasma at the clinically relevant concentration levels between 15 pg/mL and 40 ng/mL. The broad dynamic range was achieved by differential coating of two identical GMR sensors operated in tandem, and combining two standard curves. The detection limit was determined as 5 pg/mL. The assay, involving 53 plasma samples from patients with different cardiovascular diseases, was validated against the Roche Cobas e411 analyzer. The salient features of this system are its wide concentration range, low detection limit, small sample volume requirement (50 μL), and the need for a short measurement time of 15 min, making it a prospective candidate for practical use in point of care analysis.
