SiNW-FET Device Fabrication Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SiNW-FET device was fabricated by standard photolithography procedures as was reported previously [41 (link)]. Briefly, outer pads and gates were defined using multilayer photoresist (~500 nm LOR-5A and ~500 nm S-1805; MicroChem Corp.) using an outer mask, followed by thermal evaporation of Cr/Au (5/60 nm) respectively, and lift off using PG remover. Next, source and drain electrodes were defined using the same photoresists and were metallized by e-beam evaporation of Ti/Pd/Ti (5/60/5 nm) respectively. Next, device was coated with an insulating layer of silicon nitride (~50 nm) deposited by Inductively Coupled Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (ICP-PECVD) followed by lift off in PG remover.

Fabrication of Patterned Electrodes on Mempax Glass

Flow cells were fabricated according
to the procedure described earlier.40 (link) A
bilayer lift-off recipe was used for fabricating Au electrodes on
Mempax glass wafers (Schott). First, LOR 5A (MicroChem) was spin-coated,
after which normal lithography was performed on top with Olin OiR
907–17 photoresist (FujiFilm) to create a bilayer resist stack.
Electrode patterns were made by exposing the photoresist through a
patterned photomask and developing in Olin OPD 4262 (FujiFilm). The
develop step washed away the exposed photoresist, and etching through
the LOR 5A layer created an undercut. Then, 5 nm Ti and 95 nm Au were
deposited via e-beam evaporation (BAK 600, Balzers). The bilayer resist
was then removed by sonication in acetone (20 min) and isopropanol
(10 min) followed by 5 min immersion in OPD 4262, serving as a sacrificial
layer to leave patterned Au electrodes on Mempax glass. To fabricate
the Cr corrals (10 nm thick) in between the Au electrodes, the same
procedure was performed a second time, but in this case following
alignment with respect to the Au electrodes.

Fabrication of Microfluidic Drainage Devices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The drainage devices were fabricated using photolithography techniques similar to those that were demonstrated previously.[17 (link)] The fabrication was done on silicon wafers with a nickel-releasing layer. Briefly, microchannel walls were patterned with negative photoresist SU-8 and the microchannels were formed by sacrificial photoresist (LOR 5A and AZ1505, Microchem, Westborough, MA). The meshwork had an overall area of 7mm × 7mm and a grid period of 100μm. The thickness of the meshwork was 4 μm (Fig 2). The microfluidic channels had outer diameters of 20 μm and inner diametersof 8μm. These parameters were determined according to finite element simulations to provide sufficient AH outflow (2 μL/min at 10 mmHg). After being released from the substrate, the meshworks were washed and stored in buffer solution prior to autoclave and implantation. The design, fabrication and simulation of the meshwork is documented elsewhere in details.[18 ]

Fabrication of Iron Thin Films

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As shown in fig. S1A, a 4-inch single-side polished prime silicon wafer was cleaned in piranha solution, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and ultrapure water sequentially. Lift-off photoresist LOR5A (MicroChem) and negative photoresist NFR105G (JSR Microelectronics) were spin-coated at 4000 rpm, respectively, followed by photolithography patterning with a contact aligner (Karl Suss MA/BA6). Iron was deposited by an e-beam evaporator (Semicore) under 10−7 mtorr of vacuum with deposition rate of 0.1 nm per second to target thicknesses of 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 nm. The actual thicknesses of the deposited films were measured to be 1.0 ± 0.1, 3.0 ± 0.2, 6.5 ± 0.5, 9.2 ± 0.4, and 11.9 ± 0.8 nm by atomic force microscopy (Bruker Dimension Icon). A thin layer of negative photoresist NFR105G was spin-coated as a protective layer before dicing. The silicon substrate was then diced into individual dies of 1.2 cm × 1.2 cm by a dicing saw (Advanced Dicing Technologies). Photoresist was lifted off by soaking the substrate inside remover PG (MicroChem) overnight at 60°C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
