Abstract Solid-state nanopores with controllable pore size and morphology have huge application potential. However, it has been very challenging to process sub-10 nm silicon nanopore arrays high efficiency quality at low cost. In this study, a method combining metal-assisted chemical etching machine learning is proposed fabricate on wafers various dopant types concentrations. Through SVM algori...

The fabrication and functionalization of synthetic nanochannels has in the last years become of increasing interest for basic research as well as for applications. Nanochannels have an especially high surface-to-volume ratio which makes them ideal for handling very small amounts of liquid in nanofluidic devices or for designing highly sensitive sensing elements. In contrast to their biological ...

We present in this work a simple and fast preparation method of a new affinity surface-assisted laser/desorption ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) substrate based on silicon nanostructures decorated with copper particles. The silicon nanostructures were fabricated by the metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) method. Then, superhydrophilic areas surrounded by superhydrophobic regions were...

Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) is ideally suited for the high-throughput analysis of small molecules in bodily fluids (e.g. saliva, urine, and blood plasma). A key application for this technique is the testing of drug consumption in the context of workplace, roadside, athlete sports and anti-addictive drug compliance. Here, we show that vertically-alig...
