Optimization of the response of nanowire biosensors

Abstract

Nanowire field-effect transistors are highly sensitive sensor elements used for qualitative and quantitative analyses of biological and chemical substances. Optimization of the operation of the sensor is one of the key ways of increasing their sensitivity. An algorithm for choosing the operation mode of sensors based on silicon-on-insulator transistors is proposed which provides their maximum response during conductivity monitoring in the detection of target particles.
