Title: High sensitivity biosensors based on germanium nanowires fabricated by Ge condensation technique
Abstract: We demonstrate a novel technique to fabricate germanium nanowires (GeNWs) for field effect transistor biosensors. Arrays of core-shell structure GeNWs were "top-down" fabricated by combining the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible technology and Ge condensation technology. The obtained GeNWs had stable SiO2 cladding, which acted as good modification platform for biochemical detection, since SiO2 modification was a mature technology. After the GeNWs were covalently bonded with DNA probe, the nanosensor demonstrated highly sensitive concentration-dependent current change in response to target DNA. This study may pave the way for further application such as the integration of bioelectronics and biosensors with the attractive semiconductor material Ge in future work.
