Abstract
In recent years, the continuous development of nanotechnology manufacturing, like Nano Imprinting Lithography (N.I.L.), have permitted the design and the implementation of innovative devices based on chemical-physical properties of nano-structured surfaces. These nano-structured electronic devices have shown great ability to detect and quantify micro- and nano-molar concentrations of molecules, of great interest in biological, medical and chemical areas, by using electrochemical techniques. This paper shows the preliminary results on a new nano-structured sensor, obtained by an innovative manufacturing process based on a standard reliable disk (CD or DVD) manufacturing process.
