1. A semiconductor device for stimulating and/or data recording of a biological material, the semiconductor device comprising:

  • an electrode element which comprises;

    a semiconductor substrate;

    an electrode layer that comprises at least one electrode, the electrode layer further comprising;

    a conducting layer; and

    one or more carbon nano-sheets that are supported by the conducting layer such that a test medium comprising biological material can be placed in direct contact with the one or more carbon nano-sheets; and

    an insulating layer arranged between the semiconductor substrate and the electrode layer; and

    integrated circuitry that is complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible and biocompatible, and is connected to the electrode element and adapted for at least one of recording or stimulating at least one biological cell in vitro via the electrode layer.
