Abstract

This chapter presents the techniques required to produce a basic nanopore device. Firstly, the materials commonly seen in nanopore devices are presented before being followed with a step-by-step discussion of the fabrication process. Discussion of the fabrication process is centered on a pore constructed within a silicon nitride membrane as, currently, this material is the most commonly seen in the fabrication of inorganic nanopores. Also included are protocols for the key fabrication steps, providing a clear pathway for the reader to produce their own basic nanopore device. While the protocols included in this chapter are not the only means of producing a nanopore device, they allow the production of simple, reproducible devices that can be developed by the reader to suit their own applications.
