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 nanometre-sized pores (nanopores) embedded in an insulating membrane are an
exciting new class of nanosensors for rapid electrical detection and characterization of …

Solid-state nanopores fabricated by a high-intensity electron beam in ceramic membranes
can be fine-tuned on three-dimensional geometry and composition by choice of materials …

Surface charge plays a very important role in biological processes including ionic and
molecular transport across a cell membrane. Placement of charges and charge patterns on …

Electron-beam lithography and reactive ion etching were used to process silicon-on-
insulator substrates for the fabrication of single cylindrical high-aspect-ratio solid-state …

We show that a nanopore in a silicon membrane connected to a voltage source can be used
as an electrically tunable ion filter. By applying a voltage between the heavily doped …

Biological processes require concerted function of many channels embedded in the cell
membrane. While single solid‐state nanopores are already designed to mimic properties of …

The Coulter-counter principle used for cell enumeration in hematology laboratories is based
on the fact that the ionic current through a single aperture drops each time a cell obstructs …

An array of very uniform cylindrical nanopores with a pore diameter as small as 25 nm has
been fabricated in an ultrathin micromachined silicon nitride membrane using focused ion …

We report on the fabrication and characterization of gold nanoelectrodes with carefully
controlled nanometer dimensions in a matrix of insulating silicon nitride. A focused electron …
