  • Patent number: 10344324
    Abstract: A technique is provided for controlling biomolecules in a nanodevice. A membrane has two reservoirs at opposing ends of the membrane. A nanochannel is formed in the membrane connecting the two reservoirs. A gate electrode is formed on the membrane such that the gate electrode extends laterally in a region of the nanochannel. A biomolecule is trapped in the nanochannel by applying a first voltage to the gate electrode. In response to trapping the biomolecule, the biomolecule is stretched in the nanochannel by applying a second voltage to the gate electrode. The biomolecule is stretched based on changing from the first voltage to the second voltage applied to the gate electrode.
