Abstract

We developed a tunnel-current based identification method by using nano-gap integrated devices. We performed electrical measurements for mono-nucleotide and oligo-nucleotide during its translocation of molecules between the nano-gap. Based on this determined electrical conductivity for single-nucleotides, we electrically identify the base-type in oligonucleotides, and found that this time-profiles represents the molecular translocation behaviors inside nano-gap. This method could be a promising for an electrical nucleotide sequencing methodology with label-free, high-speed, and low-cost.
