Modulated light-activated electrochemistry (MLAE) at semiconductor/liquid interfaces derived from light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) and light-activated electrochemistry (LAE) for addressable photo-electrochemical sensing has been proposed as a new sensor platform. In this system, a bias voltage is applied to create a depletion layer at the silicon/electrolyte interface. Meanwhile, intensity-modulated light illuminates the movable electrode to generate electron/hole pairs and causes a detectable local AC photocurrent. The AC measurement showed a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of photocurrents compared to the traditional DC response, while a steeper photocurrent-voltage (I-V) curve than that of LAPS with an insulating layer was obtained. Furthermore, to stabilize and functionalize the silicon substrate, metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles were grown in-situ on the silicon electrode. The successful modification was validated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The AC photocurrent increased as a result of the adsorption of negatively charged DNA, which contributed to the enhancement of the cathodic reduction process at the semiconductor electrodes, indicating a different response mechanism of MLAE from LAPS. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of MOF functionalized MLAE as a robust platform for light-addressable DNA chips with high sensitivity and specificity.
