This research involves the preparation of a biosensor using silicon oxide for biomedical applications, and its effective use for the detection of target DNA hybridization. An electrochemical DNA biosensor was successfully fabricated by using(3-aminopropyl) tri-ethoxysilane(APTES) as a linker molecule combined with gold nanoparticles(GNPs) on a thermally oxidized SiO_2 thin film. The size of the GNPs was calculated by utilizing UV–vis data with an average calculated particle size within the range of 30±5 nm, and characterization by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM). The GNP-modified SiO_2 thin films were electrically characterized through the measurement of capacitance, permittivity and conductivity using a low-cost dielectric analyzer. The capacitance, permittivity and conductivity profiles of the fabricated sensor clearly differentiated DNA immobilization and hybridization.
