We review the challenges and suggest future directions of carbon nanostructure CMOS integration for lab-on-a-chip systems. Power and area requirements of standard benchtop sensor instrumentation limits their use in portable applications. We have been developing carbon based nanostructures and low power analog readouts to enable sensitive and highly efficient sensor measurement in a single measurement platform. Specifically, we review integration methods for carbon nanofibers and nanospikes with sensor readouts on a CMOS platform. These lab-on-chip systems offer high throughput, require low operating power and allow complete system implementation in portable and implantable devices.
