Advantages of silicon nanowire-based biosensors as wireless technology for infectious disease diagnosis

A comprehensive review on the biomedical frontiers of nanowire applications

“…By reducing the electromagnetic screening effect—which is frequently seen in biosensors that measure cells on planar electrodes—these nanowires increase sensor sensitivity. For the detection of metal ions, protein-DNA relationships, nucleic acids, proteins, small molecules of protein, cells, and infectious diseases, SiNW is an extremely sensitive and selective sensor [ 262 ]. Some biosensors increase the surface-to-volume ratio of silicon nanowires by adding GNPs, which improves electrical performance and pH sensitivity.…”
