Abstract :
We report the label-free rapid detection of single stranded DNA segments using lithographic Si nanograting (NG) FET devices coated with single stranded PNA probes. The NGFETs shows improved signal to noise ratio and similar sensitivity in comparison with the single nanowire FETs fabricated on the same chip. The limit of detection of our finFETs reaches sub-femtoMolar. The same devices do not respond significantly to high concentrations of non-complementary DNA segments.
