Lecture of Prof. Susana Cardoso
Magnetic Detection Modules for Biochips
Magnetoresistive (MR) biochips are evolving quickly into compact, high-performance platforms for sensitive
biomolecular detection. Current efforts emphasize refining both the device architecture and the dynamic response,
while preserving a minimal overall system footprint that includes the electronics, microfluidics, excitation
elements, and the MR sensor chip. This presentation will examine different chip-layout strategies aimed at reducing
the influence of external excitation fields. One approach embeds the magnetic field source directly within
the chip structure, achieving strong field confinement, improved homogeneity, and lower power consumption,
all while remaining compatible with 200mm wafer-scale fabrication. Examples will be shown for both dynamic
and static detection modes.

industry in spintronics, thin films and sensors, she leads a team of 16 contracted
engineers/researchers and 20 students, and is actively engaged in the Technology
Transfer CTI, as one Executive committee for the CTI Alliance Portugal. In
2018 she was selected as one of the 100 Portuguese “Women in Science”. She is a
co-author of ¿ 350 articles, 25 book chapters and 4 patents. She is an Associate
Member Delegate to the European Physics Society (EPS) Council (2019), and
IEEE Distinguished Lecturer in 2023. In 2025 was elected a Corresponding
member for Lisbon Academy of Sciences, and elected Vice President of the
European Magnetism Association (EMA) for 2025-28.
