Project Description
Project Overview: Electrochemical biosensors are currently among the most popular of the various types of biosensors. Currently, the Arnold research group has a method to deposit aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on silicon wafers for use in biosensors. However, the current position method is limited to wafers with a square geometry and does not coat to the edge of the wafer. The first task for this project is to develop and test a new method to deposit aligned s-SWCNTs across the entire surface of wafers of various geometries. In addition to the deposition problem, the second task of this project is to probe and design the chemistry and processes needed to make said s-SWCNT FET biosensors. This will entail experimental testing of different coatings, processing steps, and binding agents.
