Abstract
The present invention includes one or more nanopores in a SixNy membrane comprising a monoprotic surface termination, methods of making, and methods of using the one or more nanopores, where the one or more nanopores are a chemically-tuned controlled dielectric breakdown (CT-CDB) nanopore membrane, wherein the CT-CDB allows for long-term stability of measurements in the presence of only electrolyte (open pore current stability) and ability to support many molecular detection events. In addition, the CT-CBD has pore that unclog spontaneously, in response to voltage cessation or application, or both.
