Abstract :
This paper presents various aspects of a double gate field effect transistor based nano biosensor. It addresses the performance in detecting Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) which is a key biomarker for detecting ovarian cancer. At first a double gate FET was designed and different parameters of HE4 protein was calculated. Various nano biosensor characteristics in terms of settling time, selectivity and sensitivity were simulated. The results demonstrate that the designed nano biosensor has significant prospects of detecting the target.
