Here reports a CMOS-compatible field-effect based silicon nanowire whole-cell bacterial biosensor to detect neutral species. Effects of cell and analyte concentra-tions are studied. A chemical method to immobilize cell specifically, preserving bac-teria's sensing activity and the detection functional groups on nanowire's surface is demonstrated and corresponding sensing performance is reported. © 2008 CBMS.
