Abstract:

Nanoelectronic sensing is an established and well-mined academic subject. Transitioning nanoelectronic sensors from an academic setting to a commercial setting requires more than simply achieving wafer scale production or completing a few bench top tests. Commercialization of nanotechnology requires an honest look at our real value, real costs, and actual yields. In recent years, the creation of stable nanomaterial inks, reliable clean room fabrication methods and a large array of functionalizing material have made commercial production of nanoelectronic sensors a very real possibility. There are still several major hurdles to commercialization, involving subjects not traditionally seen as publishable. We detail results in constructing sensors for industrial and medical applications.
