From Nanostructure to Nano Biosensor: Institute of Nano Electronic Engineering (INEE), UniMAP Experience
Abstract: Nanostructure is
defined as something that has a physical dimension smaller than 100 nanometers,
ranging from clusters and/or to dimensional layers of atoms. There are three
most important nanostructures that are extensively studied and researched in
various organizations including Institute of Nano Electronic Engineering (INEE)
in UniMAP. These include quantum dot, nanowire, and nanogap, which have been
successfully designed and fabricated using in-house facilities available. These
are subsequently used as a main sensing component in nanostructures based
biosensor. This fabrication, characterization and testing job were done within
four main interlinked laboratories namely microfabrication cleanroom,
nanofabrication cleanroom, failure analysis laboratory and nano biochip
laboratory. Currently, development of
Nano Biosensor is the main research focus in INEE. In principle, biosensor is
an analytical device which converts a biological response into an electrical
signal.
