1. A biosensor system package comprising:
a transistor structure in a semiconductor layer having a front side and a back side, the transistor structure comprising a channel region;
a buried oxide (BOX) layer on the back side of the semiconductor layer, wherein the buried oxide layer has an opening over the channel region, and an interface layer covers the channel region;
a multi-layer interconnect (MLI) structure on the front side of the semiconductor layer, the transistor structure being electrically connected to the MLI structure;
a carrier substrate on the MLI structure;
a through substrate via (TSV) structure extending though the carrier substrate and configured to provide an electrical connection between the MLI structure and a separate die; and
a cap structure attached to the buried oxide layer, the cap structure comprising a silicon substrate attached to the buried oxide layer and a dielectric layer on the silicon substrate, the silicon substrate and the dielectric layer define a wall of a fluid chamber that has the dielectric layer lining at least part of the fluid chamber and the silicon substrate and the dielectric layer define a microneedle connected to the wall of the fluid chamber and that extends away from the wall of the fluid chamber, wherein the dielectric layer lines a microneedle channel of the microneedle that extends from the fluid chamber, through the wall of the fluid chamber and through the microneedle.
