Materials and technologies for analytical microsystems

Microdevices for chemistry are much more varied than theelectronic microdevices. This variety places a number of lim-itations and challenges for device fabrication.

Silicon

properties known in detail;process technologies well developed;excellent surface finish and dimensional control;IR transparency and UV–vis absorption.

Glass

a mix of related materials, with a variety of properties;transparency, surface chemistry, thermal insulation good;in a silicon lab glass (sodium) poses a contamination prob-lem;limited choice of processing technologies.

Polymers

almost unlimited materials selection;thermal and chemical stability does not match silicon andglass;autofluorescence, contamination, porosity, permeability;mix of microfabrication and scaled down traditional fabrica-tion.

Fluidic devices consist of channels, mixers, reservoirs,valves, nozzles and other individual components. Size scaletends from millimeters to micrometers down to nanometers.Some of these patterns are critical, for example, pass size of afilter, but many others are non-critical, like fluidic reservoirs.This can lead to overly costly fabrication if size and criticalityare not given proper consideration. On the other hand, rely-ing on simple fabrication like PDMS casting will limit optionsavailable.

Fabrication complexity stems partly from three-dimensional nature of most fluidic devices. Deep andhigh aspect ratio structures need to be made (by lithography,etching, hot embossing) and these structures need to bebonded to form liquid tight systems. Bonding of silicon andglass is standard, as long as one accepts the fairly highbonding temperatures (300–1000 ◦C). Bonding polymers ismuch less developed technology, and consists of materialsspecific techniques which include adhesive bonding, solvent,

thermal, ultrasonic, microwave, laser, plasma activated, etc.,bonding.
