Scientific paper

One of the main goals of DNA nanotechnology is to provide a viable solution to the limitations of top-down approaches in microfabrication schemes. Although a completely practical bottom-up approach is yet to be realized, there has been great progress in integrating the two approaches in the past few years. In this vein, we present a novel surface assisted fabrication scheme able to directly control the coverage rate, from 0 to 100%, of functionalized DNA nanostructures on centimeter-scaled silica (SiO_2) substrates which is one key to harnessing DNA's unique properties in electronics and photonics. Furthermore, electrostatic interactions between the DNA structures and the surface lead to dramatic topological changes of the structures, creating novel formations of the crystals. These results provide a direct route to applying fully functionalized layers of DNA nanostructures to current technologies in SiO_2-based electronics and photonics.
