Abstract
A biochip and a biochip scanning method and apparatus using phase changes are provided, wherein a laser beam is radiated to a biochip having immobilized probes placed thereon to cause a phase change in a phase change layer located under the biochip and the reflectance on the phase change layer according to the phase change is detected to allow reproduction or recording of bio information on the biochip. A phase change biochip and a phase change detection method using phase changes based on resistance detection are also provided, wherein the resistance between two electrodes connected respectively to both ends of a phase change layer including a bio spot where a phase change occurs is measured so that it is possible to easily detect phase changes in the biochip based on changes in the resistance.
