Abstract

In this study, we investigate improvements in silicon nanotweezers used to handle DNA molecules. We analyzed the deformation and frequency properties of the nanotweezers by finite element method (FEM) analysis. From this analysis, we determined the appropriate operation area of the nanotweezers.
