Photoresponse of Silicon Nanowire Array Field Effect Transistors Controlled by Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids
The Shinorine, mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA), extracted from harvested Chlamydomonashedlyei biomass was evaluated for the photoresponse with arrays of silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (SiNW-FET) devices. Upon illumination a considerable enhancement in the photocurrent
is observed. Moreover, the SiNW FET optical response can be easily altered by utilizing MAAs. This study reports a platform technology for the development of novel nano-opto-electrical bio-devices.
