Assignee: ILLUMINA, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 17:
18. A device, comprising:
a middle well comprising a fluidic tunnel;
a cis well associated with a cis electrode, wherein a first nanoscale opening is disposed between the cis well and the middle well;
a trans well associated with a trans electrode, wherein a second nanoscale opening is disposed between the trans well and the middle well; and
a field effect transistor (FET) positioned between the first nanoscale opening and the second nanoscale opening, the FET comprising:
a source, a drain, and a channel connecting the source to the drain,

wherein the channel comprises a gate oxide layer having an upper surface fluidically exposed to the middle well,
wherein the middle well fluidically connects the cis well to the trans well,
wherein the fluidic tunnel does not extend through the channel,
wherein the gate oxide layer further comprises a lower surface fluidically exposed to the middle well.
