Abstract

A method of forming nanopore is provided that includes forming a first structure on a substrate, and forming a second structure overlying the first structure. An intersecting portion of the first and the second structures is etched to provide an opening of nanopore dimensions. The substrate may be etched with a backside substrate etch to expose the nanopore opening.
