(Cont.) The performance of these sensors has been characterized in terms of drift, noise, and leakage. To better understand the applicability of these sensors, we have characterized the sensors'' response to pH, adsorption of polyelectrolyte multilayers, and high-affinity molecular recognition over a range of buffer conditions. Direct, label-free detection of DNA hybridization was accomplished by combining the high-resolution sensors, with enabling surface chemistry, and a differential readout technique. Finally, we explore the lateral scaling limits of potentiometry by applying a novel nanolithographic technique to the fabrication of a single electron transistor that demonstrates Coulomb oscillations at room temperature.
