Ganoderma species are common wood-rotting fungi that cause root and stem rot in most monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms. It influences plantation crops such as oil palm and rubber in Malaysia, but the effects vary greatly within the genus. Because of the complex chemistry of Ganoderma, extracting and identifying the physiologically active chemicals is often time-consuming and necessitates extensive bioassays. This study investigated the specific identification of the most infectious Ganoderma species using a sub-20-nm gold electrode. Three electrodes were created using chemically controlled etching (2, 10, and 20 nm). An AutoCAD mask containing nanogap pad electrodes was used to create a chrome glass surface, which was then translated and built. Following the successful construction of the device, the sensor was evaluated using a combination of conventional photolithography and a size reduction technique to imprint the nanogap design onto the gold surface. Ganoderma boninense target DNA was synthesised and surface-modified to enable interaction at extremely low molecular concentrations. The proposed device has a detection limit of 0.001 mol/L, which is seven times lower than the detection limits of currently available devices. The capacitance, conductivity, and permittivity of complementary, non-complementary, single mismatched, and targeted biomolecules changed during hybridization. This sensor correctly differentiated between all samples. The sensor's performance is further validated by comparing experimental data from the sensor to theoretical data from the sensor's corresponding circuit model. The two data sets are very similar.
