A biosensor and a sensing cell array using a biosensor are disclosed.
Adjacent materials containing a plurality of different ingredients are
analyzed to determine the ingredients based on their magnetic
susceptibility or dielectric constant. A sensing cell array includes such
as a magnetization pair detection sensor including a MTJ (Magnetic Tunnel
Junction) or GMR (Giant Magnetoresistive) device, a magnetoresistive
sensor including a MTJ device and a magnetic material (current line), a
dielectric constant sensor including a sensing capacitor and a switching
device, a magnetization hole detection sensor including a MTJ or GMR
device, a current line, a free ferromagnetic layer and a switching
device, and a giant magnetoresistive sensor including a GMR device, a
switching device and a magnetic material (or forcing wordline).
Ingredients of adjacent materials are separated based on electrical
characteristics of ingredients by sensing magnetic susceptibility and
dielectric constant depending on the sizes of the ingredients.
