1. A detector comprising:

  • a source region;

    a drain region;

    a detection region disposed between the source region and the drain region, the detection region defining a distance between the source region and the drain region on the order of the size of a single nucleotide base; and

    a channel formed over the source region, the drain region, and the detection region;

    wherein a charge on a component of a polymer passing through the channel induces an image charge sufficient to change the conductivity of the detection region by an amount related to the charge of the component of the polymer, the device to detect the component of the polymer based on the conductivity of the detection region.
