Semiconductor nanowire-based field-effect transistors for biomolecule detection. (a) The surface of a p-type silicon nanowire is modified with peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe molecules. (b) The binding of DNA target molecules with a net negative charge leads to an accumulation of carriers in the nanowire and a corresponding increase in nanowire conductance.
