In this presentation, I will first introduce to you the oldest university in Scandinavia: Uppsala University. It is a comprehensive university covering a very broad education and research
scope spanning from law, humanity, language, education, medicine and pharmacy, to natural science and technology. It also offers a unique and rich cultural heritage deposited over the past 500-strong years.

Equipped with modern instruments, The Angstrom Laboratory where my division, Solid-State
electronics, is located offers the best environment for education and research in materials engineering, electronics, energy technology, chemical engineering. I will then give some highlights of what my division is doing in research. Hopefully, this presentation can generate some research interests here leading to a new research collaboration benefiting from the complementary expertise in the two labs.

This presentation will focus on what we have learnt in electric biosensing using field-effect
transistors featuring nanowires or nanoribbons as the interface for sensing. I will start with a
brief overview of the technique in comparison with competing ones, in order to motivate our research. This will be followed with a short description of our chip production process based on standard CMOS technology which significantly differentiates us from the majority of the literature reports. This effort has led to the establishment of a chip platform available for various biosensing applications. Some sensing examples including our preliminary efforts in detecting protein molecules are given, leading to a discussion of choices and consequences of the gate electrode.

Shili Zhang is Chair Professor of Solid-State Electronics at Uppsala University in Sweden. He received his BSc and MSc degrees both in physics at Fudan University in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and then earned the PhD degree at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden in 1990. He was employed as a research fellow at the Swedish Institute of Microelectronics between 1987 and 1993, and then worked for KTH between 1993 and 2010 as research associate, senior lecturer and full professor. In 2006, he was appointed a Cheung-Kong Scholar by China’s Ministry of Education and affiliated with the School of Microelectronics, Fudan University, with which he has been a visiting professor since 2010. After serving a 3-year tenure at Fudan, he joined Uppsala University in 2009 to assume the current position. He spent a sabbatical leave as a visiting scholar at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in New York during 1997-1998. He was a Professor Invite at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Marseille, 2002. He has graduated 14 PhD students and is currently supervising/co-supervising 8 PhD students. His research on metal silicides as well as their integration in advanced silicon devices has earned him a highly esteemed reputation in the international scientific community.
