Abstract
We investigated the temporal resolution of ionic current in solid-state nanopore sensors. Resistive pulses observed upon translocation of single-nanoparticles were found to become blunter as we imposed larger external resistance in series to the pore via the integrated microfluidic channels on the membrane. This was found to occur even when the out-of-pore resistance is more than an order of magnitude smaller than that at the nanopore, which can be understood as a predominant contribution of charging/discharging at the water-touching thin dielectrics to retard the response of the ionic current against ion blockage by a fast-moving object through the sensing zone. Most importantly, our results predict a time resolution of better than 12 ns, irrespective of the nanopore size, by optimizing the membrane capacitance and the external resistance that promises high-speed single-molecule sequencing by the ionic current at 106 base/s.
