| Abstract | We have fabricated Si nanowire transistors for protein detection using an SOI wafer and ultra-thin hafnium oxides as a gate dielectric. When a self-assembled monolayer is formed using a ProLinker on the gate dielectrics, the conductance of a transistor increases, and further attachment of hIgG protein on the surface does not noticeably change the conductance. By contrast, additional immobilization of antihIgG protein over the hIgG has reduced the conductance by antibody-antigen interaction and has exhibited the largest conductance change. These results confirm that this device has recognized a specific protein reaction through direct electrical detection. |
