▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Fabricating a sensing device for DNA sequencing and biomolecule characterization involves fabricating a microelectrode chip comprising a silicon substrate and a silicon nitride diaphragm; attaching a monolayer graphene sheet to the silicon nitride diaphragm; dicing a portion of the monolayer graphene sheet to form a graphene microribbon; converting the graphene microribbon to a graphene nanoribbon; and converting the graphene nanoribbon to a carbyne. USE - The method is useful for fabricating sensing device for DNA sequencing and biomolecule characterization (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The method utilizes a combination of mechanical dicing, atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanolithography, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) irradiation to achieve a one-dimensional nanowire sensor to maximize the spatial resolution in DNA sequencing with the ultimate goal of achieving single-base accuracy. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a sensing device for DNA sequencing and biomolecule characterization comprising: a silicon substrate; a cavity in the silicon substrate covered by a silicon nitride layer; microelectrodes attached to the silicon nitride layer; graphene covering the microelectrodes; and carbyne attached to a portion of the silicon nitride layer covering the cavity.
