    摘要: Nanostructure sensing devices for detecting an analyte are described. The devices include nanostructures connected to conductive elements, all on a substrate. Contact regions adjacent to points of contact between the nanostructures and the conductive elements are given special treatment. The proportion of nanostructure surface area within contact regions can be maximized to effect sensing at very low analyte concentrations. The contact regions can be passivated in an effort to prevent interaction between the environment and the contact regions for sensing at higher analyte concentrations and for reducing cross-sensing. Both contact regions and at least some portion of the nanostructures can be covered with a material that is at least partially permeable to the analyte of interest and impermeable to some other species to tune selectivity and sensitivity of the nanostructure sensing device.

    摘要: A nanostructure sensing device includes a substrate, a nanotube disposed over the substrate, and at least two conductive elements electrically connected to the nanotube. A electric current on the order of about 10 μA, or greater, is passed through the conductive elements and the nanotube. As a result, the nanotube heats up relative to the substrate. In the alternative, some other method may be used to heat the nanotube. When operated as a sensor with a heated nanotube, the sensor's response and/or recovery time may be markedly improved.

    摘要: A nanotube device is configured as an electronic sensor for a target DNA sequence. A film of nanotubes is deposited over electrodes on a substrate. A solution of single-strand DNA is prepared so as to be complementary to a target DNA sequence. The DNA solution is deposited over the electrodes, dried, and removed from the substrate except in a region between the electrodes. The resulting structure includes strands of the desired DNA sequence in direct contact with nanotubes between opposing electrodes, to form a sensor that is electrically responsive to the presence of target DNA strands. Alternative assay embodiments are described which employ linker groups to attach ssDNA probes to the nanotube sensor device.

    摘要: A nanostructure device is made up of a nanostructure, such as a single-walled carbon nanotube, spanning two electrical conductors, mounted on a substrate. A passivation layer may cover a portion of the conductors and the nanostructure. A thin polymer layer is deposited over an exposed portion of the nanotube. In this configuration, the device may perform like an n-type field effect transistor. The polymer material may be selected for interactivity with a particular chemical species or compound. The device may therefore be used as a resistive sensor that responds to the particular species or compound by exhibiting a change in resistivity.

    摘要: An electronic system and method for detecting carbon dioxide is provided, using a nanostructure sensing device (CO2 sensor). The CO2 sensor is made up of a substrate and a nanostructure disposed over the substrate. The nanostructure may comprise a carbon nanotube, or a network of nanotubes. Two conductive elements are disposed over the substrate and electrically connected to the nanotube. A gate electrode may be positioned opposite the nanostructure. A functionalization material reactive with carbon dioxide is disposed on CO2 sensor, and in particular, on the nanotube. The CO2 sensor may be connected to an electrical circuit, which will respond to changes in CO2 concentration in the ambient sensor environment.

    摘要: A nanoelectronic device includes a nanostructure, such as a nanotube or network of nanotubes, disposed on a substrate. Nanoparticles are disposed on or adjacent to the nanostructure so as to operatively effect the electrical properties of the nanostructure. The nanoparticles may be composed of metals, metal oxides, or salts, and nanoparticles composed of different materials may be present. The amount of nanoparticles may be controlled to preserve semiconductive properties of the nanostructure, and the substrate immediately adjacent to the nanostructure may remain substantially free of nanoparticles. A method for fabricating the device includes electrodeposition of the nanoparticles using one or more solutions of dissolved ions while providing an electric current to the nanostructures but not to the surrounding substrate.
