1. A sensor cell formed on an integrated circuit comprising:
- two electrical contacts;
a vertical hurdle structure;
a sensor material constrained at a sensor site by said vertical hurdle structure and in contact with said two electrical contacts, wherein an electrical property of the sensor material changes in the presence of an analyte; and
transistor devices coupled to the sensor material to enable measurement of changes in the electrical property of the sensor material.

Abstract
Techniques are used to detect and identify analytes. Techniques are used to fabricate and manufacture sensors to detect analytes. An analyte (810) is sensed by sensors (820) that output electrical signals in response to the analyte. The electrical signals may be preprocessed (830) by filtering and amplification. In one embodiment, a plurality of sensors are formed on a single integrated circuit. The sensors may have diverse compositions.
