Although the specific capacitance of a BLM is known to be in the range of 0.4–1.0 μF cm^–2, many previous works that formed free-standing BLMs over an aperture in silicon chips reported larger values beyond this typical range, which suggests that equivalent-circuit models are not adequate. In this work, we modified the equivalent-circuit model by adding a resistance element of silicon. To evaluate the validity of the modified model, we applied the model to the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for free-standing BLMs formed over an aperture in nanofabricated silicon chips. The derived specific capacitance values were 0.57 ± 0.08 μF cm^–2, which settles in the typical range.}, pages = {SIIK02-1--SIIK02-5}, title = {Capacitance extraction method for a free-standing bilayer lipid membrane formed over an aperture in a nanofabricated silicon chip}, volume = {59}, year = {2020} }
