Employed automated nanomanipulation within a scanning electron microscope for precise control.
Integrated microfabrication with nanorobotic manipulation, requiring only one photolithography mask.

Main Results:

Achieved fabrication of single-nanowire nano-FETs with uniform diameters.
Demonstrated a production speed of approximately 1 minute per device.
Attained a high success rate of 95% over 500 fabricated devices.
Ensured consistent device response crucial for reliable sensing.

Conclusions:

The presented fabrication approach successfully integrates wafer-scale processing and nanomanipulation.
This method significantly enhances the consistency and reliability of nano-FET sensors.
The technology paves the way for scalable and dependable nano-FET-based molecular detection systems.
