Since the NW diameters can be similar to biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, these binding events can be sensitively detected by the NW-FETs. Furthermore, incorporation of a number of NW-FET elements in a single sensor chip where the NWs are functionalized with different surface receptors allows for multiplexed electrical detection in the same assay, enabling a unique and powerful platform for chemical/biological recognition [6] . Furthermore, several methods for improving the sensitivity and/or capabilities of NW-FET sensors, including the use of branched NWs to enhance the capture efficiency of molecular analytes, operation of the FET in the subthreshold regime, increasing the analyte concentration by electrokinetic effects, and detection in physiological fluids, are briefly illustrated. ./cache/cord-018897-tceum2m1.txt ./txt/cord-018897-tceum2m1.txt
