Abstract
Calorimeter is one of widely used biosensors. Conventional or existing calorimeters are realized directly on a silicon wafer which has very high thermal conductivity. It results in decreasing temperature difference between junctions and it makes a sensitivity of calorimeter to be decreased. In this study, the microcalorimeter was made by using MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)-technology and hot junctions of the microcalorimeter are released from a silicon substrate to reduce loss of generated heat by reactions between biomolecules. Sensitivity of the released microcalorimeter was 18 mV/M which is 1.5 times higher than another calorimeters on silicon substrate by reactions between biotin and streptavidin.
