Abstract

Due to the distinctive optical, mechanical and electrical characteristics, silicon nanowire (SilNW), one of the one dimensional nanostructures, has become a potential sensing nanomaterial. SilNWs have drawn interest in high-sensitive sensor fabrication, primarily because of their large surface-volume ratios, which significantly enhanced the detection limit to femtomolar concentrations and also provided high sensitivity. Due to its high charge sensitivity, SilNW FET-based sensors had been employed extensively for sensing various chemical as well as biological species. In this work, the sensing performance and applications of different SilNW biosensors, gas sensors, chemical and metal ion sensors were studied. In this study, we have also elaborated the most current developments as well as the sensing performance of various SilNW-based Covid-19 sensors.
