Silicon nanodevice biosensors have been attracted a lot of attention due to its advantages of label-free, real-time and very high sensitive detection. This study employs self-assembly monolayer (SAM) of methoxy-poly(ethyleneglycol) silane (MPEG-sil) as passivation on Si nanodevices. Ablation of SAM by Joule heating (JH) was performed at n - region of a nanobelt device, where the linker molecules, biotin were modified subsequently. Detection of Alexa dye-labeled Streptavidin (SA) showed that the fluorescence intensity at n - region increased with each 50-μl SA injection and saturated after the 4 th injection. A difference of fluorescence intensity between SAM-ablated device and without passivation is 4.9 fold. Threshold voltage (V th ) shifted ca. 35 mV after the 4 th injection for SAM-ablated device and as-fabricated device exhibited only a 10-mV V th shift. The results indicated that SAM-ablated device possess potential in reduction of sensing time and in increase of sensitivity for low concentration detection.

The most promising method for synthesizing high-quality, large-scale graphene films involves chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbon-containing precursors onto Cu substrates. During graphene growth in a CVD system, the interaction between graphene and the Cu substrate leads to the formation of anisotropic Cu step bunches, driven by interfacial surface energy minimization and the release of compressive stress during thermal cooling. It is widely acknowledged that a smooth substrate is crucial for achieving high-quality graphene, as graphene strain and Cu surface roughening induce wrinkles when transferred onto a silicon wafer, which negatively impacts the quality. Here, we introduce a straightforward approach for controlling strain in graphene by engineering the Cu surface morphology through mechanical tension during the growth process. We achieve a uniform distribution of low compressive strain across the graphene layer by applying varying mechanical weights to the Cu foil. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy, we demonstrate that mechanical tension significantly reduces Cu surface roughness, providing a smoother interface for graphene growth. This work provides insights into the relationship between Cu surface structure and graphene strain, contributing to the optimization of substrate preparation for graphene synthesis and other related surface engineering applications.

The specific sensing of antigen-antibody interaction was examined by using a PEGylated sensor. For the surface modification, acetal-PEG-SH was prepared and by using acetal-PEG-SH, PEG brush was constructed on the gold sensor chip surface. Modification of antibody was carried out by conjugation of SH group in Fab' to the maleimide group at the distal end of PEG chains on the surface. The result shows that the suitable modification of antibody on the PEG brush surface is very important to obtain high sensing character.

Symmetric diblock copolymers undergo a disorder to order transition below a microphase separation transition temperature. In this temperature range the structure is characterized by alternating lamellae of thickness L. In thin film geometries, the lamellae are oriented normal to the substrate if there is a preferential interaction between either of the block constituents and the substrate/copolymer or copolymer/vacuum interfaces. Depending on the relation between the film thickness and L, the topography of the film might comprise of holes, islands or spinodal-like structures. We show that in a polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer of molecular weight 20, 000 g/mol, above the microphase separation transition temperature, the topography of the film depends on the thickness. A heirarchy of bicontinuous patterns and holes is observed with increasing film thickness for films thinner than 35 nm.
