Detecting DNA Using Silicon Nanopores and 20--40 Nm Gate-Length RFNMOSFET

Lastly, we describe using a nanopore in a MOS-capacitor membrane to sense the charge in DNA. As DNA translocates the nanopore, the electrostatic charge distribution should polarize the capacitor and induce a voltage on the electrodes, which will be measured by our nanotransistors implemented right next to them. Silicon nanofabrication and MD simulations are technological linchpins in the development of this detector.
