NANOSCALE FINFET SENSOR FOR DETERMINING THE BREAST CANCER TISSUES USING WAVELET COEFFICIENTS

Abstract

A noninvasive optical method for determining the optical properties of normal and cancerous breast tissues by interpolating wavelet approach using the characteristics of nanoscale FinFET sensor has been theoretically developed and presented in this paper. This novel approach classifies the normal and cancerous tissues of human breast by calculating the surface potential variations of nanoscale FinFET illuminated by laser source of different wavelengths. Using these surface potential variations, the optical properties of the tissues are determined. By using this method, the point-to-point variations in tissue composition and structural variations in healthy and diseased tissues could be identified. The results obtained are used to examine the performance of the device for its suitable use as a nanoscale sensor.
