Abstract
In a non-limiting embodiment, a device may include a substrate having conducting lines thereon. One or more fin structures may be arranged over the substrate. Each fin structure may include a sensor arranged over the substrate and around the fin structure. The sensor may include a self-aligned first sensing electrode and a self-aligned second sensing electrode arranged around the fin structure. The first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode each may include a first portion lining a sidewall of the fin structure and a second portion arranged laterally from the first portion. At least the first portion of the first sensing electrode and the first portion of the second sensing electrode may define a sensing cavity of the sensor. The second portion of the first sensing electrode and the second portion of the second sensing electrode may be electrically coupled to the conducting lines.
