Short Review on Fullerene-Containing Electrically Conducting Electron Beam Resist for Organic Biosensors with Nanostructures

Electroluminescence from Alq3-Containing Electron-Beam Resists for Light-Emitting Organic Nanometer-Scale Devices

“…Organic light-emitting layers of less than a micrometer in lateral size have the possibility of being highly sensitive organic biosensors. To date, biosensors with nanowire-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) have been developed for the sensitive detection of biomolecules. − The high detection sensitivity when using a nanowire-channel FET is due to suppression of the carrier percolation effect throughout the channel . However, the number of attached molecules is hard to determine from the observed threshold-voltage ( V th ) shift after biomolecules become attached to the nanowire channel for the reason described below.…”
