    摘要: A method for forming porous metal structures and the resulting structure may include forming a metal structure above a substrate. A masking layer may be formed above the metal structure, and then etched using a reactive ion etching process with a mask etchant and a metal etchant. Etching the masking layer may result in the formation of a plurality of pores in the metal structure. In some embodiments, the metal structure may include a first end region, a second end region, and an intermediate region. Before etching the masking layer, a protective layer may be formed above the first end region and the second end region, so that the plurality of pores is contained within the intermediate region. In some embodiments, the intermediate metal region may be a nanostructure such as a nanowire.

    摘要: A nanogap of controlled width in-between noble metals is produced using sidewall techniques and chemical-mechanical-polishing. Electrical connections are provided to enable current measurements across the nanogap for analytical purposes. The nanogap in-between noble metals may also be formed inside a Damascene trench. The nanogap in-between noble metals may also be inserted into a crossed slit nanopore framework. A noble metal layer on the side of the nanogap may have sub-layers serving the purpose of multiple simultaneous electrical measurements.

    摘要: Nanochannel sensors and methods for constructing nanochannel sensors. An example method includes forming a sacrificial line on an insulating layer, forming a dielectric layer, etching a pair of electrode trenches, forming a pair of electrodes, and removing the sacrificial line to form a nanochannel. The dielectric layer may be formed on insulating layer and around the sacrificial line. The pair of electrode trenches may be etched in the dielectric layer on opposite sides of the sacrificial line. The pair of electrodes may be formed by filling the electrode trenches with electrode material. The sacrificial line may be removed by forming a nanochannel between the at least one pair of electrodes.
