ている。Regarding capillary columns for gas chromatograph devices made of silicon wafers and hard glass plates, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 195149/1982, [Science 4198]
It is described in the June 3rd issue. The former describes a small gas chromatograph device that integrates a sample injection section, a separation capillary column, and a detector on a silicon wafer, but there is no detailed description regarding the column. The latter describes in detail how to fabricate capillary columns, etc.

ガラス板を接着剤を用いずに静電的に張合わせる（以下
、静電接着と記す）ことにより、キャピラリーカラムを
製作する。カラム内壁には液相をコーティングし、気液
分配により成分を分離する。Specifically, after etching a spiral groove with a width of 200 μm, a depth of 40 μm, and a length of about 1.5 m on a silicon wafer with a diameter of 5 cm, a 5 cm square Pyrex glass plate was electrostatically etched without using an adhesive. A capillary column is fabricated by bonding (hereinafter referred to as electrostatic adhesion). The inner wall of the column is coated with a liquid phase, and components are separated by gas-liquid distribution.

接着する前にシリコンウェーハー表面のすべての５１０
２膜を除去する工程を入れることからキャピラリーカラ
ム内壁面は金属シリコンと硬質ガラスが露出した状態と
なっている。In the conventional method, all 510% of the silicon wafer surface is bonded before electrostatically bonding the silicon wafer and the hard glass plate.
Since the process of removing the two films is included, the metal silicon and hard glass are exposed on the inner wall surface of the capillary column.
ガスクロマトグラフ分離用キャビラリー力ラムの性能は
、カラム壁面の性質と密接な関係がある。The performance of a cavillary force ram for gas chromatographic separation is closely related to the properties of the column wall.
分離能の優れたカラムを得るには、壁面に液相を均一に
コーティングする必要があり、このためにはカラム壁面
と液相の親和性の高いことが望ましい。又、壁面の活性
が高い場合には極性物質は吸着し易く、テーリングを生
じる原因となる。In order to obtain a column with excellent separation ability, it is necessary to uniformly coat the liquid phase on the wall surface, and for this purpose, it is desirable that the column wall surface and the liquid phase have high affinity. Furthermore, if the wall surface has high activity, polar substances are likely to be adsorbed, causing tailing.
従来のシリコンと硬質ガラスが壁面に露出したカラムで
はこれらの点で問題があり、高性能のカラムを得ること
は不可能であった。Conventional columns in which silicon and hard glass are exposed on the walls have these problems, and it has been impossible to obtain high-performance columns.
本発明は、カラム壁面のシリコンを５ｉｎ２化すること
により、高性能カラム作製に最も好適な壁面を持ったキ
ャピラリーカラムを提供するものである。The present invention provides a capillary column having a wall most suitable for producing a high-performance column by making the column wall silicon 5 in 2 in size.

０．２μｍのＳｉＯ□層を生成させることが好ましい。In order to modify the wall surface by converting the column wall into SiO
Preferably, a 0.2 μm SiO□ layer is produced.

２層を生成しておくことが望ましいが、ＳｉＯ□で覆わ
れたシリコンに関しては静電接着の可否が問題となる。The method for obtaining such a column is to apply 310 μm on the silicon surface before electrostatically adhering the silicon and hard glass.
Although it is desirable to form two layers, the possibility of electrostatic adhesion becomes an issue regarding silicon covered with SiO□.

の負電圧を印加する方法であり、ＳｉＯ□膜に覆われた
シリコンに適用した例は見当たらない。ＳｉＯ□は絶縁
性が高いためＳｉＯ□層の厚いシリコンでは静電接着は
難しいと考えられる。Electrostatic adhesion is usually used only for bonding silicone and hard glass, and when the two are in close contact, it is heated to 200-400℃ to make the sodium ions in the glass easier to move, and the silicone side is grounded. This method involves applying a negative voltage of several hundred volts to the glass side, and no examples of its application to silicon covered with a SiO□ film have been found. Since SiO□ has high insulating properties, it is thought that electrostatic adhesion is difficult with silicon having a thick SiO□ layer.

した。In fact, silicon can be easily bonded at 250°C.
, 500V, silicon with a 0.1 μn SiO□ layer does not adhere. In order to electrostatically bond SiO□ silicon, it is necessary to strengthen the bonding conditions.
It has been found that an in□ film thickness of 0.1 μm can only be achieved by raising the temperature to 300° C. or higher at a voltage of I KV.
本発明は、このように接着条件を強化することによって

。The present invention has been achieved by making it possible to electrostatically bond the silicon covered with the 5iDz film and the hard glass plate by strengthening the bonding conditions as described above.

ーハーと硬質ガラス板によりキャピラリー管を構成する
ガスクロマトグラフ用キャピラリーカラムである。That is, the present invention is a capillary column for a gas chromatograph in which a capillary tube is constructed of a silicon wafer whose surface is SiO□ and a hard glass plate.

とにより、高性能の分離カラムを得ることができる。The inner wall surface of the capillary column manufactured according to the present invention is made of SiO□ and hard glass, and has properties that are a combination of fused silica capillary columns and glass capillary columns that are commonly used for gas chromatography analysis, so the liquid phase coating technology used for these can be used as is. By doing so, a high-performance separation column can be obtained.

Ｏ□化によって、この方法も可能となる。Recently, by chemically bonding the liquid phase to the column wall,
Methods to improve heat resistance and extend life are widely used, but Si
This method is also possible due to O□ conversion.

ーリングの少ないクロマトグラムが得られる。By changing the column walls from silicon to 5in2 in accordance with the present invention, column performance is significantly improved by providing a surface suitable for liquid phase coating. Specifically, compared to a silicon column, the number of theoretical plates exhibiting separation performance increases, the peak shape of polar samples is also improved, and a chromatogram with less tailing can be obtained.
