Bionanoelectronic devices incorporating lipid-coated SiNWs [9]. (a) Device schematics showing an NW connected to microfabricated source () and drain () electrodes. (Insets) The configuration of the lipid bilayer and a pore channel placed in the bilayer membrane. (b) An SEM micrograph of the NW transistor showing an NW bridging the source and drain electrodes. (Inset) A photograph of the device chip covered with a PDMS flow channel. (c) TEM micrograph of the as-synthesized SiNW. (d) A typical IV characteristic of the SiNW transistor in fluid.
