▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Sensor comprises electrodes, each electrode essentially comprises a conductive layer and an insulator layer, where conductive layer and insulator layer is less than 4 nm thick each. A microfluidic channel 410 is configured to present the long-chain molecule to electrodes such that the long-chain molecule is sequenced by measurements taken by one or more electrodes. USE - Sensor used in lateral sensor system for identifying the components of a long-chain molecule by making electrical measurements from fabricated nanoscale electrodes as molecule moves down narrow microfluidic channel and sequencing long-chain molecule. ADVANTAGE - The sensor helps in capacitance and conductivity (resistance) measurements, and microfluidic channel produce sensors that identify portions of long-chain molecules through electronic detection. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for: Method of sequencing long-chain molecule, which involves: (1) passing the long-chain molecule through a microfluidic channel that is adjacent to a conductive layer of less than 4 nm thickness; (2) taking an electrical measurement from the conductive layer as the long-chain molecule passes the conductive layer; and (3) determining a component of the long-chain molecule from the electrical measurement; and Method of fabricating a sensor for sequencing long-chain molecule, which involves: (1) depositing one or more electrodes, each electrode essentially comprising conductive layer and insulator layer, conductive layer and insulator layer being less than 2 nm thick each; and (2) fabricating a microfluidic channel configured to present the long-chain molecule to the one or more electrodes such that the long-chain molecule can be sequenced by measurements taken by the one or more electrodes. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows schematic view of a lateral sensor system. 410Microfluidic channel.
