Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system and method employing a semiconductor device having a detecting region for identifying the individual mers of long-chain polymers, such as carbohydrates and proteins, as well as individual bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA), and a method for making the semiconductor device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method employing a semiconductor device, similar to a field-effect transistor device, capable of identifying the bases of a DNA/RNA strand to thus enable sequencing of the strand to be performed.
- DNA consists of two very long, helical polynucleotide chains coiled around a common axis.
- the two strands of the double helix run in opposite directions.
- the two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases, consisting of adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
- Adenine is always paired with thymine
- guanine is always paired with cytosine.
- one strand of a double helix is the complement of the other.
- RNA molecules are single stranded but many contain extensive double helical regions that arise from the folding of the chain into hairpin-like structures.
- Another method of sequencing is known as gel electrophoresis.
- the DNA is stripped down to a single strand and exposed to a chemical that destroys one of the four nucleotides, for example A, thus producing a strand that has a random distribution of DNA fragments ending in A and labeled at the opposite end. The same procedure is repeated for the other three remaining bases.
- the DNA fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis according to length. The lengths show the distances from the labeled end to the known bases, and if there are no gaps in coverage, the original DNA strand fragment sequence is determined.
- This method of DNA sequencing has many drawbacks associated with it. This technique only allows readings of approximately 500 bases, since a DNA strand containing more bases would "ball" up and not be able to be read properly. Also, as strand length increases, the resolution in the length determination decreases rapidly, which also limits analysis of strands to a length of 500 bases. In addition, gel electrophoresis is very slow and not a workable solution for the task of sequencing the genomes of complex organisms. Furthermore, the preparation before and analysis following electrophoresis is inherently expensive and time consuming. Therefore, a need exists for a faster, consistent and more economical means for DNA sequencing.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for accurately and effectively identifying individual bases of DNA or RNA.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method employing a semiconductor device for sequencing individual bases of DNA or RNA.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor-based DNA or RNA sequencing device.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for accurately and effectively identifying the individual mers of long-chain polymers, such as carbohydrates or proteins, as well as measuring the lengths of the long-chain polymers.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method employing a semiconductor-based device having an opening therein, for accurately and effectively identifying bases of DNA or RNA by measuring charge at a location where the DNA or RNA molecules traverse the opening in the sequencer, to thus eliminate or at least minimize the effects of shot noise and other noise sources associated with the random movement of the DNA or RNA molecules through the opening.
- a system for detecting at least one polymer comprising at least one semiconductor device having at least one detecting region which is adapted to detect a charge representative of a component of the polymer proximate to the detecting region.
- the component can include a base in a nucleic acid strand, so that the detecting region is adapted to detect the charge which is representative of the base in the nucleic acid strand.
- the detecting region is further adapted to generate a signal representative of the detected charge.
- the detecting region can include a region of the semiconductor device defining a recess in the semiconductor device, or an opening in the semiconductor device having a cross-section sufficient to enable the polymer to enter the opening, so that the detecting region detects the charge of the component in the opening.
- the semiconductor device preferably further includes at least two doped regions, and the detecting region can pass a current between the two doped regions in response to a presence of the component proximate to the detecting region.
- the above and other objects of the invention are also substantially achieved by providing a method for detecting at least one polymer, comprising the steps of positioning a portion of the polymer proximate to a detecting region of at least one semiconductor device, and detecting at the detecting region a charge representative of a component of the polymer proximate to the detecting region.
- the component can include a base in a nucleic acid strand, so that the detecting step detects a charge representative of the base.
- the method further comprises the step of generating at the detecting region a signal representative of the detected charge.
- the detecting region can include a region of the semiconductor device defining a recess in the semiconductor device, or an opening in the semiconductor device having a cross-section sufficient to enable the polymer to enter the opening, so that the detecting step detects the charge of the component in the recess or opening.
- the semiconductor device can further include at least two doped regions, so that the method can further include the step of passing a current between the two doped regions in response to a presence of the component proximate to the detecting region.
- a method for manufacturing a device for detecting a polymer comprising the steps of providing a semiconductor structure comprising at least one semiconductor layer, and creating a detecting region in the semiconductor structure, such that the detecting region is adapted to detect a charge representative of a component of the polymer proximate to the detecting region.
- the component can include a base in a nucleic acid strand, and the detecting region can be created to detect a charge representative of the base in the nucleic acid strand.
- the method can further include the step of creating a recess in the semiconductor structure, or creating an opening in the semiconductor structure having a cross-section sufficient to enable a portion of the polymer to pass therethrough, and being positioned in relation to the detecting region such that the detecting region is adapted to detect the charge representative of the component in the recess or opening.
- the method can further include the step of forming an insulating layer on a wall of the semiconductor layer having the opening to decrease the cross-section of the opening.
- the method can include the step of creating at least two doped regions in the semiconductor layer which are positioned with respect to the detecting region such that the detecting region is adapted to pass a current between the doped regions in response to the component of the polymer proximate to the detecting region.
- the doped regions can be separated by a portion of the semiconductor layer having a different doping, and can be created as a stack of doped regions, each having a first doping and being separated by a layer having a second doping.
- the doped regions can include either a p-type or an n-type doping.

- Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a system 100 for detecting the presence of a polymer, such as DNA or RNA, a protein or carbohydrate, or a long chain polymer such as petroleum, and, more preferably, for identifying the individual mers of the polymer or long chain polymer, as well as the length of the polymer or long chain polymer.
- the system 100 is preferably adaptable for performing sequencing of nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA sequencing, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Accordingly, for purposes of this description, the system 100 will be discussed in relation to nucleic acid sequencing.
- the system 100 includes a nucleic acid sequencing device 102 which, as described in more detail below, is a semiconductor device.
- the nucleic acid sequencing device 102 resembles a field-effect transistor, such as a MOSFET, in that it includes two doped regions, a drain region 104 and a source region 106.
- the nucleic acid sequencing device does not include a gate region for reasons discussed below.
- the nucleic acid sequencing device 102 is disposed in a container 108 that includes a liquid 110 such as water, gel, a buffer solution such as KCL, or any other suitable solution. It is important to note that the solution 110 can be an insulating medium, such as oil, or any other suitable insulating medium.
- the container 108 does not need to include a medium such as a liquid. Rather, the container 108 can be sealed and evacuated to create a vacuum in which nucleic acid sequencing device 102 is disposed.
- Figure 1 shows only a single nucleic acid sequencing device 102 in the container 108 for exemplary purposes, the container can include multiple nucleic acid sequencing devices 102 for performing multiple DNA sequencing measurements in parallel.
- the liquid 110 or other medium or vacuum in container 108 includes the nucleic acid strands or portions of nucleic acid strands 111 to be sequenced by nucleic acid sequencing device 102.
- voltage source 112 such as a direct current voltage source, is coupled in series with a current meter 114 by leads 116 across drain and source regions 104 and 106, respectively.
- the positive lead of voltage source 112 is coupled to the drain region 104 while the negative lead of voltage source 112 is coupled via the current meter 114 to source region 106.
- the voltage potential applied across drain and source regions 104 and 106 of nucleic acid sequencing device 102 can be small, for example, about 100 mV, which is sufficient to create a gradient across drain and source regions 104 and 106, to draw the nucleic acid strands into opening 118 of the nucleic acid sequencing device 102. That is, the nucleic acid strands 111 move through the opening 118 because of the local gradient.
- the liquid can include an ionic solution. In this event, the local gradient causes the ions in the solution to flow through the opening 118, which assists the nucleic acid strands 111, such as DNA or RNA, to move through the opening 118 as well.
- Additional electrodes 1 13 and 115 positioned in the medium 110 and connected to additional voltage sources 117 and 121 would further facilitate the movement of the nucleic acid strands towards the opening 118.
- the external electrodes 113 and 115 are used to apply an electric field within the medium 110. This field causes all of the charged particles, including the nucleic acid strand 111 , to flow either toward the opening 118 or away from the opening 118.
- electrodes 113 and 115 are used as a means to steer the nucleic acid strands 111 into or out of the opening 118.
- metal contacts 123 are coupled to the n-type doped region 128 and 130, described in more detail below.
- the electrodes 113 and 115 could also provide a high frequency voltage which is superimposed on the DC voltage by an alternating voltage source 125.
- This high frequency voltage which can have a frequency in the radio frequency range, such as the megahertz range (e.g., 10 MHz), causes the nucleic acid strand 111 and ions to oscillate. This oscillation makes passage of the nucleic acid strand 111 through the opening 118 smoother, in a manner similar to shaking a salt shaker to enable the salt grains to pass through the openings in the shaker.
- a device 127 such as an acoustic wave generator, can be disposed in the liquid 110 or at any other suitable location, and is controlled to send sonic vibrations through the device 102 to provide a similar mechanical shaking function.
- the nucleic acid strands each include different combinations of bases A, C, G and T, which each contain a particular magnitude and polarity of ionic charge.
- the charge gradient between drain and source regions 104 and 106, or otherwise across the opening 118, will thus cause the charged nucleic acid strands to traverse the opening 118.
- another voltage source (not shown) can be used to create a difference in voltage potential between the opening 118 and the liquid.
- a pressure differential can be applied across the opening 118 to control the flow of the DNA independent from the voltage applied between the source and drain 104 and 106.
- the Sequencing device 102 can attract the nucleic acid strands to the opening 118 by applying a positive voltage to the medium 110 relative to the voltage source 112. Furthermore, the nucleic acid strands in the medium 110 can be pushed in and out of the opening 118 and be analyzed multiple times by reversing the polarity across drain and source regions 104 and 106, respectively.
- the opening 118 is configured to have a diameter within the nanometer range, for example, within the range of about 1 nm to about 10 nm. Therefore, only one DNA strand can pass through opening 118 at any given time.
- the sequence of bases induce image charges which form a channel 119 between the drain and source regions 104 and 106 that extends vertically along the walls of the device defining opening 118.
- a voltage is applied between the source 136 and drain 128 by means of the voltage source 112
- these image charges in the channel flow from source to drain, resulting in a current flow which can be detected by the current meter 114.
- the current exists in the channel as long as the charge is present in the opening 1 18, and thus the device current detected by the current meter 114 is much larger than the current associated with the moving charge.
- a singly charged ion passing through the opening 118 accounts for an ion current of 0.16 pA and a device current of 160 IXA.
- the bases induce a charge variation in channel 119, leading to a current +variation as detected by current meter 114.
- Any variation of the ion flow through the opening due to the presence of the DNA strand would also cause a variation to the image charge in the channel 119 and results in a current variation as detected by current meter 114. That is, the device current measured by current meter 114 will diminish from, for example, 80 ⁇ A to 4 ⁇ A. as the DNA strand 111 passes through opening 118.
- Each different type of bases A, C, G, and T induces a current having a particular magnitude and waveform representative of the particular charge associated with its respective type of bases.
- an A type base will induce a current in a channel between the drain and source regions of the nucleic acid sequencing device 102 having a magnitude and waveform indicative of the A type base.
- the C, T and G bases will each induce a current having a particular magnitude and waveform.
- FIG. 3 An example of a waveform of the detected current is shown in Figure 3, which symbolically illustrates the shape, magnitude, and time resolution of the expected signals generated by the presence of the A, C, G and T bases.
- the magnitude of current is typically in the microampere ( ⁇ A) range, which is a multiplication factor of 10 6 greater than the ion current flowing through the opening 118, which is in the picoampere range.
- a calculation of the electrostatic potential of the individual bases shows the complementary distribution of charges that lead to the hydrogen bonding.
- the T-A and C-G pairs have similar distributions when paired viewed from the outside, but, when unpaired, as would be the case when analyzing single-stranded DNA, the surfaces where the hydrogen bonding occurs are distinctive.
- the larger A and G bases are roughly complementary (positive and negative reversed) on the hydrogen bonding surface with similar behavior for the smaller T and C bases.
- the sequence of bases in the strand can be detected and thus ascertained by interpreting the waveform and magnitude of the induced current detected by current meter 114.
- the system 100 therefore enables DNA sequencing to be performed in a very accurate and efficient manner.
- the drain current is also much larger than the ion current through the opening 118.
- an ion velocity of 1 cm/s and an electron velocity of 10 6 cm/s an amplification of 1 million can be obtained.
- the presence of a DNA molecule can be detected by monitoring the current Ip through the opening 118. That is, the current Ip through the opening reduces from 80 pA to 4 pA when a DNA molecule passes through the opening. This corresponds to 25 electronic charges per microsecond as the molecule passes through the opening.
- Measurement of the device current rather than the current through the opening has the following advantages.
- the device current is much larger and therefore easier to measure.
- the larger current allows an accurate measurement over a short time interval, thereby measuring the charge associated with a single DNA base located between the two n-type regions.
- the measurement of the current through the opening has a limited bandwidth, limited by the shot-noise associated with the random movement of charge through the opening 118. For example, measuring a lpA current with a bandwidth of 10 MHz yields a noise current of 1.8 pA.
- the device current can be measured even if the liquids on both sides of the opening 118 are not electrically isolated. That is, as discussed above, the Sequencing device 102 is immersed in a single container of liquid.
- nanometer-sized opening 118 can be replaced by any other structure or method which brings the DNA molecule in close proximity to the two n-type regions, as discussed in more detail below.
- a wafer 120 such as a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate comprising a silicon substrate 122, a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) layer 124, and a thin layer of p-type silicon 126.
- SOI silicon-on-insulator
- the silicon substrate 122 has a thickness within the range of about 300 ⁇ m to about 600 ⁇ m
- the silicon dioxide layer 124 has a thickness within the range of about 200 to 6400 nm
- the p-type silicon layer 126 has a thickness of about 1 ⁇ m or less (e.g., within a range of about 100 nm to about 1000 nm).
- a doped n-type region 128 is created in the p-type silicon layer 126 by ion implantation, and annealing or diffusion of an n-type dopant, such as arsenic, phosphorous or the like.
- the n-type region 128 is a shallow region which does not pass entirely through p-type silicon 126.
- a deep n-type region 130 is also created in the p-type silicon 126 as illustrated in Figure 5.
- the deep n-type region 130 passes all the way through the p-type silicon 126 to silicon dioxide 124 and is created by known methods, such as diffusion, or ion implantation and annealing of an n-type material which can be identical or similar to the n-type material used to create n-type region 128.
- the silicon substrate 122 is etched along its (111) plane by known etching methods, such as etching in potassium hydroxide (KOH) or the like.
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- the back of the substrate 112 can also be etched with a teflon jig. As illustrated, the etching process etches away a central portion of silicon substrate 122 down to the silicon dioxide 124 to create an opening 132 in the silicon substrate 122.
- the portion of the silicon dioxide 124 exposed in opening 132 is etched away by conventional etching methods, such as etching in hydrofluoric acid, reactive etching or the like.
- Another shallow n-type region 124 is created in the area of the p-type silicon 126 exposed at opening 132 by known methods, such implantation or diffusion of an n-type material identical or similar to those used to create n-type regions 128 and 130.
- Opening 118 is then formed through the n-type region 128, p- type silicon 126 and bottom n-type region 134 as shown, for example, in Figures 7 and 8 by reactive ion etching (RIE) using Freon 14 (CF ), optical lithography, electron-beam lithography or any other fine-line lithography, which results in an opening having a diameter of about 10 nm.
- RIE reactive ion etching
- CF Freon 14
- the diameter of the opening can be further decreased by oxidizing the silicon, thus forming a silicon dioxide layer 136 over the p-type silicon layer 126 and the walls forming opening 118.
- This oxidation can be formed by thermal oxidation - of the silicon in an oxygen atmosphere at 1000°C, for example.
- the resulting oxide has a volume larger than the silicon consumed during the oxidation process, which further narrows the diameter of opening 118. It is desirable if the diameter of opening 118 can be as small as 1 nm.
- opening 118 is a cylindrically-shaped opening
- opening 118 it is preferable for opening 118 to have a funnel shape as shown, for example, in Figs. 13 and 14.
- This funnel-shaped opening 118 is created by performing V-groove etching of the (100) p-type silicon layer 126 using potassium hydroxide (KOH), which results in V-shaped grooves formed along the (111) planes 138 of the p-type silicon 126.
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- the V-shaped or funnel-shaped opening facilitates movement of a DNA strand through opening 118, and minimizes the possibility that the DNA strand will become balled up upon itself and thus have difficulty passing through opening 118.
- Oxidation and V-groove etching can be combined to yield even smaller openings. Additionally, anodic oxidation can be used instead of thermal oxidation, as described above. Anodic oxidation has the additional advantage of allowing for monitoring of the opening size during oxidation so that the process can be stopped when the optimum opening size is achieved.
- the opening 118 should be small enough to allow only one molecule of the DNA strand 111 to pass through at one time. Electron-Beam lithography can yield an opening 118 as small as 10 nm, but even smaller openings are needed. Oxidation of the silicon and V-groove etching as described above can be used to further reduce the opening to the desired size of 1-2 nm. Oxidation of silicon is Icnown to yield silicon dioxide with a volume which is about twice that of the silicon consumed during the oxidation.
- Oxidation of a small opening 118 will result in a gradually reduced opening size, thereby providing the desired opening size V-groove etching of (100) oriented silicon using KOH results in V- grooves formed by (111) planes.
- KOH etching through a square SiO 2 or Si 3 N mask results in a funnel shaped opening with a square cross-section.
- Etching through the thin silicon layer results in an opening 118 on the other side, which is considerable smaller in size.
- Oxidation and N-groove etching can also be combined to yield even smaller openings 118.
- Anodic oxidation can be used instead of thermal oxidation, which has the additional advantage of enabling the size of the opening 118 to be monitored during the oxidation and the oxidation can be stopped when the appropriate size of the opening 118 is obtained.
- holes 140 are etched into the silicon dioxide 136 to expose n-type region 128 and n-type region 130.
- Metal contacts 142 are then deposited onto silicon dioxide layer 136 and into holes 140 to contact the respective n-type regions 128 and 130.
- An insulator 144 is then deposited over metal contacts 142 as shown in Figure 16, thus resulting in device 102 as shown in Figure 1.
- insulator 144 can be removed so that leads 116 can be connected to the n-type regions 128 and 130, which thus form the drain regions 104 and source 106, respectively.
- An additional insulator 146 is deposited over insulator 144 to seal the openings through which leads 116 extend to contact n-type regions 128 and 130.
- the completed device 102 can then be operated to perform the D ⁇ A sequencing as discussed above.
- the sequencing device 102 is made to have a length and width of 0.1 by 0.1 ⁇ m, and the thickness of the silicon dioxide layer is 0.1 ⁇ m along the walls of the opening 118, a capacitance of 0.35 fF, a voltage variation of 0.45 mN, a device transconductance of 1 mS and a current variation of 0.5 nA are realized. Accordingly, a sequencing device 102 having these dimensions and characteristics can be used to detect a single electronic charge. The sequencing device 102 can further be reduced in size to obtain a sufficient special resolution to distinguish between different nucleotides.
- Figure 17 illustrates a top view of a nucleic acid sequencing device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the steps described above with regard to Figs. 3 through 16 are performed to form the n-type regions which ultimately form the drain and source regions.
- the n-type region 128 shown, for example, in Figure 5 is formed as four separate n-type regions, 150 in a p-type silicon layer similar to p-type silicon layer 126 described above.
- a silicon dioxide layer 152 covers the p- type silicon layer into which n-type regions 150 have been created.
- Holes 156 are etched into silicon dioxide layer 152 so that metal contacts 158 that are deposited on silicon dioxide layer 152 can contact n-type regions 150. By detecting current flowing between the four drain regions formed by n-type regions 150 and the source region (not shown), the spatial orientation of the bases on the DNA strand passing through opening 152 can be detected.
- Figure 18 is a cross section of a nucleic acid sequencing device 160 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Similar to nucleic acid sequencing device 102, 160 includes a silicon substrate 162, a silicon dioxide layer 164, an n-type region 166 implanted in p-type silicon 168, and a second n-type region 170 implanted in p-type silicon 168. Nucleic acid sequencing device 160 further has an opening 172 passing therethrough. The opening can be cylindrical, or can be a N-shaped or fumiel-shaped opening as described above. A silicon dioxide layer 174 covers p-type silicon layer 168, n-type region 170 and n- type region 166 as shown, and decreases the diameter of opening 172 in the manner described above.
- An opening is etched into silicon dioxide layer 172 to allow a lead 176 to be attached to n-type region 170.
- Another lead 176 is also attached to an exposed portion of n-type region 166, so that a voltage source 178 can apply a potential across the drain region 180 formed by n-type region 170 and source region 182 formed n-type region 166.
- the nucleic acid sequencing device 160 can thus be used to detect the bases of a D ⁇ A strand 182 in a manner described above.
- Figure 19 illustrates a D ⁇ A sequencing system 186 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- System 186 includes a multi-layer nucleic acid sequencing device 188 which, in this example, comprises three MOSFET-type devices stacked on top of each other. That is, device 188 includes a silicon substrate 190 similar to silicon substrate 122 described above. A silicon dioxide layer 192 is present on silicon substrate 190.
- the device 188 further includes an n-type doped silicon region 194, a p-type silicon dioxide region 196, an n-type doped silicon region 198, a p-type silicon dioxide region 200, an n-type doped region silicon region 202, a p-type silicon dioxide region 204 and an n-type -doped silicon region 206.
- Regions 194 through 206 are stacked on top of each other as shown explicitly in Figure 19. However, as can be appreciated by one skilled in the art, the polarity of the layers can be reversed for this embodiment, and for any of the other embodiments discussed herein. That is, the device 188 can comprise a p-type doped silicon region 194, an n-type silicon dioxide region 196, a p-type doped silicon region 198, and so on. '
- a thin silicon dioxide layer 208 is formed over the layers as illustrated, and is also formed on the walls forming opening 210 to decrease the diameter of opening 210 in a manner described above with regard to opening 118.
- opening 210 can be cylindrically shaped, a V-shaped groove or a funnel-shaped groove as described above. Holes are formed in silicon dioxide layer 208 so that leads 212 can be attached to regions 194, 198, 202 and 206 to couple voltage source 214, 216 and 218 and current meters 220, 222 and 224 to device 188 as will now be described.
- Voltage sources 214, 216 and 218 and current meters 220, 222 and 224 are similar to voltage source 112 and current meter 114, respectively, as described above.
- leads 212 couple voltage source 214 and current meter 220 in series to n- type doped silicon region 202 and n-type doped silicon region 206. Therefore, voltage source 214 applies a voltage across regions 202 and 206 which are separated by p-type silicon dioxide region 204. Leads 212 also couple voltage source 216 and current meter 222 to n- type doped silicon region 198 and n-type doped silicon region 202 as shown. Furthermore, leads 212 couple voltage source 218 and current meter 224 to n-type doped silicon region 194 and n-type doped silicon region 202 as shown.
- n-type doped silicon region 198 and n-type doped silicon region 194 act as the drain and source regions, respectively, of one MOSFET
- n-type doped silicon region 202 and n-type doped silicon region 198 act as drain and source regions, respectively, of a second MOSFET
- n-type doped silicon region 206 and n-type doped silicon region 202 act as drain and source regions, respectively, of a third MOSFET.
- These three MOSFET type devices can measure the current induced by the bases of a DNA strand passing through opening 210, and thus take multiple measurements of these bases to improve accuracy.
- a nucleic acid sequencing device above can be configured to sense the bases of a nucleic acid strand without it being necessary for the DNA strand to pass tlirough an opening in the devices, as shown in Figs. 20 and 21. That is, using the techniques described above, a nucleic acid sequencing device 226, similar to nucleic acid sequencing device 102 shown in Figure 1, can be fabricated having its drain and source regions proximate to a surface. It is noted that like components shown in Figs. 1, 20 and 21 are identified with like reference numbers. However, in place of an opening 118, one or more grooves 228 can optionally be formed in the surface extending from the drain region to the source region.
- nucleic acid strands 111 no grooves are formed in the surface, but rather, the detection area for detecting nucleic acid strands 111 is present between the drain and source regions.
- Techniques similar to those discussed above, such as the application of voltage potentials, by means of voltage sources 117 and 121, and creation of a pressure differential in the container 108 can be used to move the nucleic acid strands 111 in a horizontal direction along the surface of the device over the grooves 228.
- the bases in the nucleic acid strands create an image charge channel 230 between the drain and source regions which allows current to flow between the drain and source regions.
- the current induced in the nucleic acid sequencing device by the bases can be measured in a manner similar to that described above.
- the device 226 differs from the other embodiments represented in Figs. 1, 17 and 19 in that the channel 230 containing the image charge is horizontal rather than vertical.
- the structure no longer contains an opening 118 as in the device 102 shown in Figs. 1, 17 and 19, but rather this embodiment contains a charge sensitive region just above chamiel 230.
- the external electrodes 113 and 115 are used to apply an electric field which steers the nucleic acid strands 111 towards or away from the charge sensitive region. That is, the motion of the nucleic acid strands 111 is controlled by applying a voltage to the external electrodes 113 and 115 relative to the voltage applied to the doped regions 130. Additional electrodes (not shown) can be added to move the nucleic acid strands 111 perpendicular to the plane shown in Figure 20.
- the charge sensitive region of the device is located just above the channel 230 and between the two doped regions 130. Identification of individual bases requires that the distance between the two doped regions is on the order of a single base and that the motion of the nucleic acid strand 111 is such that each base is successively placed above the charge sensitive region. This horizontal configuration enables more parallel as well as sequential analysis of the nucleic acid strands 111 and does not require the fabrication of a small opening. Additional surface processing, such as the formation of grooves 228 as discussed above that channel the nucleic acid strands 111 can be used to further enhance this approach.
- the horizontal embodiment shown in Figs. 19 and 20 is also of interest to detect the presence of a large number of nucleic acid strands 111.
- nucleic acid strands 111 For instance, using an electrophoresis gel as the medium, one starts by placing nucleic acid strands 111 of different length between the electrodes 113 and 115. A negative voltage is applied to the electrodes 113 and 115, relative to the doped regions 130. The nucleic acid strands 111 will then move towards the charge sensitive region. The smaller strands will move faster and the larger strands will move slower. The smaller strands will therefore arrive first at the charge sensitive region, followed by the larger ones. The charge accumulated in the charge sensitive region and therefore also the image charge in the channel 230 therefore increases "staircase-like" with time. This results in a staircase-like increase or decrease of the current measured by current meter 114.
