A stacked plasmonic nanowell–nanopore biosensor strongly suppresses the background fluorescence from the bulk and yields net more than tenfold enhancement of the fluorescence intensity. The device offers extremely high signal‐to‐background (S/B) ratio for single‐molecule detection at ultralow excitation laser intensities, while maintaining extremely high temporal bandwidth for single‐DNA sensing.
