Fabrication of Vertical and High-aspect-ratio Glass Microfluidic Device by Borosilicate Glass Molding to Silicon Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a fabrication method of vertical and high-aspect-ratio microfluidic device which is made of borosilicate glass. Glass microfluidic devices have high demand because of its chemical stability, good bio compatibility, and high optical transparency. We realized vertical glass microwells of 25 μm in diameter and 50 μm in depth(aspect ratio: 2), and micropillars of 3 μm in diameter and 25 μm in height (aspect ratio: ≈ 8). We also realized microfluidic device with pillars in the microchannel.

Fabrication and Characterization of Nanofluidic Channels for Studying Molecular Dynamics in Confined Environments
This thesis has characterized the applicability and limitation of PDMS micromolding and the substrate bonding techniques including both anodic (Si-glass) and thermal fusion (glass-glass) bonding, in fabricating sub-100-nm thick nanofluidic channels, which will be used for a controlled experimental study of molecular and fluidic transport in confined space. It is found that the fabrication of na...

Although silicon technology can be adopted for the fabrication of microfluidic devices with high precision, the capital and operating costs for such technology is often prohibitively expensive. In recent years, many alternative methods have been advocated to reduce the cost of microfabrication but often with reduced qualities in many important features, such as channel resolution, surface smoot...

This paper investigates the formation process of a typical microstructure in the glass microfluidic chip, i.e., cuboid microprotrusion, by the soda-lime glass molding process (GMP). The finite element models on the platform Abaqus/Standard were established for simulating the glass molding process. The glass viscoelasticity at pressing temperature was described by the General Maxwell model. The ...

Excellent chemical and physical properties of glass, over a range of operating conditions, make it a preferred material for chemical detection systems in analytical chemistry, biology, and the environmental sciences. However, it is often compromised with SU8, PDMS, or Parylene materials due to the sophisticated mask preparation requirements for wet etching of glass. Here, we report our efforts ...
