Abstract
We report the fabrication of potentiometric electrolyteโinsulator capacitor (EISCAP) biosensors based on silicon and porous silicon (PS) substrates with oxide and stacked oxideโnitride dielectrics. These biosensors have been calibrated for the detection and estimation of bioanalytes like tributyrin and urea, based on enzymatic reactions and have a linear detection range from 0.1 mM to 20 mM of the bioanalyte concentration. These improved sensitivity EISCAP sensors were used for the estimation of the total acid content in rancid butter, estimation of enzyme (Lipase) activity and to estimate total triglyceride levels in blood serum.

By means of electrochemical treatment, crystalline silicon can be permeated with tiny, nanostructured pores that entirely change the characteristics and properties of the material. One prominent example of this can be seen in the interaction of porous silicon with living cells, which can be totall

## Abstract In this work, we used HNO~3~/HF Vapour Etching (VE) of silicon (Si) wafers for the formation of different porous structures. Depending on the volume ratio of the HNO~3~/HF acid mixture, we can obtain Porous Silicon (PS) layers or a (NH~4~)~2~SiF~6~ like powder phase. These two kind of p
