This paper describes a reproducible method for m precision alignment of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels with coplanar electrodes using a conventional mask aligner for lab-on-a-chip applications. It is based on the use of a silicon mold in combination with a PMMA sarcophagus for precise control of the parallelism between the top and bottom surfaces of molded PDMS. The alignment of the fabricated PDMS slab with electrodes patterned on a glass chip is then performed using a conventional mask aligner with a custom-made steel chuck and magnets. This technique allows to bond and align chips with a resolution of less than 2 m.
本文介绍了一种可重复的方法,用于在芯片实验室应用中,使用传统的掩膜对准器将聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)微通道与共面电极进行精确对准。该方法基于使用硅模具结合聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)棺盖,以精确控制模制PDMS上下表面之间的平行度。然后,使用带有定制钢卡盘和磁铁的传统掩膜对准器,将制造的PDMS平板与玻璃芯片上图案化的电极进行对准。该技术能够以小于2微米的分辨率对芯片进行键合和对准。
