Abstract
We present a sensor chip with an array of silicon nanowire-based field-effect transistors, biofunctionalized with different antibodies for multiplexed biosensing. The fabrication is done following a reproducible top-down process, defining honeycomb-shaped nanowires for an enhanced sensing area and an improved mechanical stability. A covalent immobilization of the antibodies provides a strong stability of the bioreceptors. The demonstration is done by discriminating Ebola virus VP40 matrix protein from Cholera toxin B subunit and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B. The array shows a high sensitivity by responding to femtomolar concentrations, and allowing to distinguish a lethal disease from others showing similar initial symptoms. Such device would allow performing early diagnosis to prevent a fast spreading of the diseases.
