چکیده
In this paper we discuss the fabrication and characterization of three dimensional (3D) micro- and nanoelectrodes with the goal of using them for extra- and intracellular studies. Two different types of electrodes will be described: high aspect ratio microelectrodes for studying the communication between cells and ultimately for brain slice recordings and small nanoelectrodes for highly localized measurements and ultimately for intracellular studies. Electrical and electrochemical characterization of these electrodes as well as the results of PC12 cell differentiation on chip will be presented and discussed.

Fabrication and Characterization of the Fiber Optical Taper for a Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor
For a fiber optical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor a short part of its cladding should be removed to coat a thin layer of a metal. Usually this is problematic when an optical fiber with small core diameter is used. In this paper, a new method using µliter droplet of the HF acid for short fiber optical taper fabrication is reported. Using this method in a multi-mode optical fiber w...

In this paper, we have studied the electrical properties of the randomly distributed metallic (Co and Fe) nano/ micro wires on Silicon substrate. Deposition was carried out potentiostatically into the pores of the track-etch polycarbonate membrane spin coated onto the Si substrate. Spin coated films were irradiated with 150MeV Ni (+11) ions at a fluence of 8E7 ions/cm2, followed by UV irradiati...

متن کاملFabrication and characterization of nanopores with insulated transverse nanoelectrodes for DNA sensing in salt solution.
We report on the fabrication, simulation, and characterization of insulated nanoelectrodes aligned with nanopores in low-capacitance silicon nitride membrane chips. We are exploring these devices for the transverse sensing of DNA molecules as they are electrophoretically driven through the nanopore in a linear fashion. While we are currently working with relatively large nanopores (6-12 nm in d...
متن کاملNanoelectrodes for Molecular Devices: A Controllable Fabrication
The miniaturization of components for the construction of useful devices is an essential feature of modern technology. Their miniaturization permits the assembly of ultra-densely integrated circuits and faster processors. However, along with the developing of silicon-based electronics, it is becoming apparent that intrinsic limitations will prevent their miniaturization down to the nanoscale. T...
