Abstract
In this work we present a low-cost, low-power, small sample volume microcalorimetric sensor for the measurement of reaction heats. The polysilicon-based microcalorimetric sensor combines several advantages: (i) complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology (CMOS) for future integration; (ii) elements of silicon micromachining (MEMS) to control thermal performance; (iii) heterogeneous catalysts for selective detection and analysis of individual gas compounds; and (iv) microfluidics for optimized control over the reaction conditions.
