Functionalization of Pyrolyzed Carbon Structures for Bio-Nanoelectronics Platforms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, the surface-treatment of pyrolyzed carbon microelectrodes - which are otherwise chemically inert - for improving their attachment chemistry with double-stranded DNA molecular wires as part of a bio-nanoelectronics platform is investigated. Pyrolyzed carbon microelectrodes are fabricated using standard negative lithography procedures with SU-¬8 (10) negative-tone photoresist on a silicon wafer. These microelectrode structures are then pyrolyzed and converted to a form of conductive carbon that we refer to as PSU-8. Functionalization of the resulting pyrolyzed structures is done using oxygen plasma etching and the results confirmed with Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. Post-pyrolysis analysis using Electron Dispersion X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) shows a decrease in oxygen content after pyrolysis and higher oxygen concentrations at the edges and location of defects. FTIR results confirm the presence of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in both untreated pyrolyzed carbon (PSU-8) and plasma-treated PSU-8 structures.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
