Abstract
This paper presents a hybrid CNT/CMOS chemical sensor system that comprises of a carbon nanotube sensor array and a CMOS interface chip. The full system, including the sensor, consumes 32 muW at 1.83 kS/s readout rate, accomplished through an extensive use of CAD tools and a model-based architecture optimization. A redundant use of CNT sensors in the frontend increases the reliability of the system.
