A multi-biometric finger sensor includes a plurality of electric field
fingerprint sensing pixels on an integrated circuit substrate for sensing
an image of the user's finger, and at least one other finger biometric
characteristic sensor on the integrated circuit substrate for sensing a
finger biometric characteristic different than the image of the user's
finger. Each of the electric field fingerprint sensing pixels may include
an electric field sensing electrode, a guard shield surrounding the
electric field sensing electrode, and an amplifier connected between the
electric field sensing electrode and the guard shield. The sensor may
also include a finger drive electrode adjacent the plurality of electric
field sensing pixels, and a processor connected to the electric field
fingerprint sensing pixels and the at least one other finger biometric
characteristic sensor.
