Abstract
An integrated circuit includes two or more rows of heating elements, two or more columns of heating elements, and a plurality of sensing circuits. Each sensing circuit is between two adjacent rows of the rows of heating elements and between two adjacent columns of the columns of heating elements, in a same silicon layer as the rows of heating elements and the columns of heating elements, and configured to generate a bio-sensing signal and a temperature-sensing signal.
