Detection of dopamine using a silicon nanowire patterned by nanoimprint lithography

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2011 Aug;11(8):7516-9. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2011.4871.

Abstract

Dopamine is one of the most important catecholamine neurotransmitter in the nucleus accumbens of wide variety of animals, including humans. In this study, silicon nanowire FET device was fabricated by UV-assisted NIL method and dopamine was successfully measured by conductance versus time characteristics within 10 pM to 100 nM.
