It is well-established fact that the CMOS foundries, with several trillion dollars investment, are efficient mass-production platforms that lowered the cost of microelectronic devices, low enough to make most of consumer electronic products affordable to the endusers. As to their scale of integration, today’s foundry processes have reached the threshold of 15 nm and hence they allow for the making of highly dense systems featuring millions of active elements such as Ion-Selective-Field-Effect-Transistors FET (ISFET).
