    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for forming a nanodevice. A reservoir is filled with a conductive fluid, and a membrane is formed to separate the reservoir in the nanodevice. The membrane includes an electrode layer having a tunneling junction formed therein. The membrane is formed to have a nanopore formed through one or more other layers of the membrane such that the nanopore is aligned with the tunneling junction of the electrode layer. The tunneling junction of the electrode layer is narrowed to a narrowed size by electroplating or electroless deposition. When a voltage is applied to the electrode layer, a tunneling current is generated by a base in the tunneling junction to be measured as a current signature for distinguishing the base. When an organic coating is formed on an inside surface of the tunneling junction, transient bonds are formed between the electrode layer and the base.

    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for base recognition of an integrated transistor and nanochannel. A target molecule is forced down to a carbon nanotube a single base at a time in the nanochannel by applying a gate voltage to a top electrode, and/or a narrow thickness of the nanochannel. The nanochannel exposes an exposed portion of the carbon nanotube at a bottom wall, and the top electrode is positioned over the exposed portion. The exposed portion of the carbon nanotube is smaller than the distance between bases to only accommodate the single base at a time. The target molecule is stretched by the narrow thickness and by applying a traverse voltage across a length direction of the nanochannel. The target molecule is frictionally restricted by the narrow thickness of the nanochannel to stretch is restrictedly translocates in the length direction. Current is measured to determine an identity of the single base.

    Abstract: Techniques for increasing the capture zone in nano and microchannel-based polymer testing structures using concentric arrangements of nanostructures, such as nanopillars are provided. In one aspect, a testing structure for testing polymers is provided that includes a first fluid reservoir and a second fluid reservoir formed in an electrically insulating substrate; at least one channel formed in the insulating substrate that interconnects the first fluid reservoir and the second fluid reservoir; and an arrangement of nanostructures within either the first fluid reservoir or the second fluid reservoir wherein the nanostructures are arranged so as to form multiple concentric circles inside either the first fluid reservoir or the second fluid reservoir with each of the concentric circles being centered at an entry point of the channel. A method of analyzing a polymer using the testing structure is also provided.
