Abstract
The invention relates to different designs of a microelectronic device comprising an array of heating elements (HE) with local driving units (CU) and optionally with an array of sensor elements (SE) adjacent to a sample chamber (SC). By applying appropriate currents to the heating elements (HE), the sample chamber can be heated according to a desired temperature profile. The local driving units comprise means for compensating variations of their individual characteristics.
