METHOD AND CMOS-BASED DEVICE TO ANALYZE MOLECULES AND NANOMATERIALS BASED ON THE ELECTRICAL READOUT OF SPECIFIC BINDING EVENTS ON FUNCTIONALIZED ELECTRODES

摘要

A device having a functionalized electrode having a probe molecule, wherein the device has an ability to electrically detect a molecular binding event between the probe molecule and a target molecule by a polarization change of the functionalized electrode is disclosed. The device could also include an unfunctionalized electrode that does not have the probe molecule and the device could have an ability to electrically detect the molecular binding event between the probe molecule and the target molecule by a polarization change between the functionalized electrode and the unfunctionalized electrode.
