Wafer-level and highly controllable fabricated silicon nanowire transistor arrays on (111) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers for highly sensitive detection in liquid and gaseous environments
The method for the detection of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) in solution is proposed. This method employs the sensors based on silicon nanowire field-effect transistors with protective layers of high-k dielectrics, whose surface is functionalized with an amino silane. Direct highly sensitive detection of DNP has been demonstrated, and the lowest detectable concentration of DNP was determined to be 10−14 M. Silicon-on-insulator nanowire (SOI-NW) sensors can well be employed for the rapid detection of a wide range of toxic and explosive compounds by selection of sensor surface modification techniques.
Biological nanopore-based techniques have attracted more and more attention recently in the field of single-molecule detection, because they allow the real-time, sensitive, high-throughput analysis. Herein, we report an engineered biological...
