摘要
Two new methods have been developed to fabricate nanochannels by conventional micromachining. We succeeded in restricting the width of the channels to the submicrometer scale, while using standard photolithography with a resolution in the order of 1 mum. The first method is based on the sacrificial etching of a nanowire, which was formed on the side wall of a step. The second method is based on the adhesion of the capping layer to the substrate after removal of a sacrificial strip separating the two. The fabricated nanochannels are localized and can be connected to microchannels and reservoirs.
