A nanosensor of n-type Si field-effect transistor (FET) via “top-down method” was employed to monitor PSA with great selectivity and high sensitivity up to 10 pg/mL. When a biomaterial, negatively charged PSA, is introduced through a fluidic channel, the conductivity of FET is lowered than that in pure buffer solution from the n-type nature of nanochannel as a bionanosensor. The Si FET bionanosensor allows a real-time monitoring without any labeling, which indicates this electrical property originated from the specific binding between antibody and antigen.
