Flexible and in situ fabrication of nanochannels with high aspect ratios and nanopillar arrays in fused silica substrates utilizing focused ion beam
نویسنده
چکیده
Nanochannels fabricated in fused silica substrates are ideal tools for single (bio)molecular studies in biology and are promising in the development of innovative applications in chemistry. To obtain a higher throughput and a higher level of integration and functionalization, nanochannels with high aspect ratios and nano-in-nano structures are very much desired, but their fabrication is a challenge. Herein, we report a method for fabricating nanochannels with such challenging critical dimensions and structures in fused silica substrates by using a focused ion beam.

Sub-10 nm Fabrication of Large Area Periodic Nanopillars
Here we present a large-area fabrication technique that is capable of producing size-tunable periodic silicon nanopillar arrays with sub-10 nm resolution. Our approach is to transfer the patterns created by nanosphere lithography into silicon substrates, forming nanopillar arrays and modify the size, shape and height of nanopillar arrays by various etching schemes. Introduction To construct nan...

Direct observations of the primary mouse CD4 T cell morphologies, e.g., cell adhesion and cell spreading by culturing CD4 T cells in a short period of incubation (e.g., 20 min) on streptavidin-functionalized quartz nanopillar arrays (QNPA) using a high-content scanning electron microscopy method were reported. Furthermore, we first demonstrated cross-sectional cell traction force distribution o...
