Optimizing PDMS Stamp Transfer Preparation of MoS2-Nanopores for DNA Translocation Experiments with Optical Tweezers — •Julian Cremer1, Inga Ennen2, Sebastian Knust1, Martina Viefhues1, and Dario Anselmetti11Experimental Biophysics and Applied Nanoscience, Bielefeld University, Germany — 2Thin Films & Physics of Nanostructures, Bielefeld University, Germany

To better understand the translocation of biological molecules through nanopores we measure the forces acting on λ-DNA during a translocation through solid-state nanopores with Optical Tweezers. For high sensitivity, we milled pores smaller than 10 nm with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in freestanding MoS2-monolayers with a thickness of 0.67 nm.

The defect-free MoS2-monolayers are produced by a simple but efficient viscoelastic PDMS stamp transfer technique. Since the contact with PDMS causes minute but nevertheless relevant residues on the MoS2 we investigated the removal of these residues particularly with regard to enable nanopore experiments. Thus, we performed high resolution TEM as well as atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements to optimize the preparation. These include pretreatments of the PDMS e. g. UV-ozone cleaning as well as variations of the PDMS stamp thicknesses and steps after the transfer like annealing or plasma treatment.

In this work we present first results towards the preparation of freestanding residue-free MoS2-nanopores and controlled translocation experiments.
