  • Publication number: 20100080932
    Abstract: Provided is a method for selectively functionalizing unmodified solid surface, not oxidized and nitrified, into an aldehyde group, and a method for immobilizing an active material such as bio material or functional material on the functionalized aldehyde solid surface through strong and stable chemical bonding. Differently from a conventional method immobilizing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using a cross linker, the method of the present invention does not require a cross linker reaction step to thereby shorten a process. Also, since a cross linker is absent, the monomolecular layer on the surface of a device is thin, which reduces a perturbation effect by molecular layer. This is useful in fabrication of molecular electronic devices and bio-active devices.

  • Publication number: 20090152598
    Abstract: Provided are a biosensor using a silicon nanowire and a method of manufacturing the same. The silicon nanowire can be formed to have a shape, in which identical patterns are continuously repeated, to enlarge an area in which probe molecules are fixed to the silicon nanowire, thereby increasing detection sensitivity. In addition, the detection sensitivity can be easily adjusted by adjusting a gap between the identical patterns of the silicon nanowire depending on characteristics of target molecules, without adjusting a line width of the silicon nanowire in the conventional art. Further, the gap between the identical patterns of the silicon nanowire can be adjusted depending on characteristics of the target molecule to differentiate detection sensitivities, thereby simultaneously detecting various detection sensitivities.
