| Research Abstract |
A nanometer-sized pore (nanopore) is attractive for applications to molecular sensors such as DNA sequencers. We investigated the formation of nanopores obtained by utilizing the {111} faceted pit formation during the chemical vapor deposition of the SiC growth on Si substrates. It was found that the nanopores with the size of several 10 nm were obtained on a Si membrane which was formed by anisotropic etching of a SOI substrate.
