We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of functionalized solid-state
nanopores in low stress silicon nitride membranes. First, a pore of∼ 50 nm diameter was …

Single-and multiple-nanopore membranes are both highly interesting for biosensing and
separation processes, as well as their ability to mimic biological membranes. The density of …

A nanopore is an analytical tool with single molecule sensitivity. For detection, a nanopore
relies on the electrical signal that develops when a molecule translocates through it …

Nanopores fabricated in solid-state membranes have previously been used for the rapid
electrical detection and characterization of single biopolymer molecules. Various methods …

Nanopores are extremely sensitive single-molecule sensors. Recently, electron beams have
been used to fabricate synthetic nanopores in thin solid-state membranes with …

Solid-state nanopores (ssNPs) are extremely versatile single-molecule sensors and their
