We report fabrication of nanofluidic channels with asymmetric features (e.g., funnels) that were cast in high modulus poly(dimethylsiloxane) and had well-defined geometries and dimensions. Masters used to cast the funnels were written in the negative tone resist SU-8 by electron beam lithography. Replicated funnels had taper angles of 5, 10, and 20 and were 80 nm wide at the tip, 1 pm wide at the base, and 120 nm deep. The planar format permitted easy coupling of the funnels to microfluidic channels and simultaneous electrical and optical characterization of ion transport. All three designs rectified ion current, and the 5 funnel exhibited the highest rectification ratio. Fluorescence measurements at the funnel base showed that an anionic probe was enriched and depleted in the high and low conductance states, respectively.
