Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of efficient, glass micro-fluidic chips preparation method of low cost and device, belong to microfabrication Technical field.
Background technology
Micro-fluidic chip is also called micro-total analysis system (micro total analysis systems, μ TAS), is one Class with microchannel network as architectural feature, collection sample introduction, sample treatment, biochemical reaction, separate, be detected as one global function miniature Detection and the system of analysis.Short owing to possessing response time, consume amount of reagent little, it is easy to miniaturization, automatization and portability etc. are excellent Point, microfluidic chip technology is since the nineties in 20th century is proposed by Switzerland scientist Manz et al., it has also become the most alive The science frontier jumped, is widely used in the field such as chemistry, biology, medical science.
Glass, quartz, high molecular polymer and pottery is mainly had for making the material of micro-fluidic chip.With glass as base The micro-fluidic chip of body compared with quartz, silicon chip and the pottery micro-fluidic chip as matrix, has good thermal diffusivity with other, High light transmittance and insulating properties, and EOF is stronger;Compared with lucite and micro-fluidic chip that silicone rubber is matrix, glass core Sheet matrix has good intensity, and bio-compatibility is good, and chemical stability is high, and Heat stability is good, channel surface is prone to modification etc. Advantage.Therefore, along with the development of microfluidic chip technology, using glass material as the micro-fluidic chip of matrix by causing industrial circle Concern with academia.But there is significant difference, in micro fabrication side in the Wuli-Shili-Renli system approach of glass material and other materials Face needs to carry out new research and technology test, the most not yet forms unified glass micro fabrication standards system. Present stage, because of the consideration in terms of cost of manufacture and technical maturity, micro-fluidic chip the most still uses and is prone to processing and batch system The organic polymer made makees matrix material.
In order to preferably play the advantage of glass micro-fluidic chips, explore a kind of low cost, high efficiency, high manufacturing accuracy Glass micro channels processing technology is significant.In existing document report, the processing method of glass micro-fluidic chips is main There is a following four classes:
(1) wet etching: glass is isotropic material, can use HF solution that glass is implemented the quarter of non-single direction Erosion, but the sidewall that this kind of method processes is curved, and processing depth-to-width ratio is low, low precision, and needs metal or Si as protective layer.
(2) dry etching: by the deep reaction ion etching (deep in SF6 plasma (ICP) source of inductive Reactive ion etching, DRIE) carry out dry etch process, can under low pressure produce the plasma of high concentration, Realizing the processing of groove profound and subtle to glass, but this lithographic method speed is low, equipment cost is high and carves between photoresist and glass Erosion selectivity is low, seriously limits the popularization of this kind of technique.
(3) Laser Processing: laser skilled worker's speed is fast, efficiency is high, but because processing local temperature is high, glass heat conductivity is poor, It is easy to produce micro-crack and heat affected layer at finished surface, affects serious surface quality.
(4) micromachined: micro-machining includes micro-Ultrasonic machining (micro-ultra-sonic- Machining, MUSM), sandblasting, butcher's saw etc., but the characteristic size of minimum is subject to processing the restriction of tool heads, and surface quality Difference, seriously governs the popularization of this technology.
For the limitation present in the processing silica micro structure of four class processing methods above, K.Kawai et al. of Japan (Kawai K,Yamaguchi F,Nakahara A,et al.Fabrication of vertical and high- aspect-ratio glass microfluidic device by borosilicate glass molding to silicon structure[C].14th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems For Chemistry and Life Sciences 2010, MicroTAS 2010.2010.) and domestic J.W.Liu et al. (Liu J W,Huang Q A,Shang J T,et al.Micromachining of Pyrex7740glass for micro-fluidic devices[C]//Proc.14th Int.Conf.Miniaturized Syst.Chem.Life Sci. (μ TAS) .2010:1907-1909.) all attempt using a kind of new processing technology, comprise silicon etching, glass and silicon under vacuo Anode linkage, heat treatment, chemically mechanical polishing and glass single-sided etching, this technique can make the structure of high-aspect-ratio, Little characteristic size reaches 10 μm, but its long processing time, cost is high, and processing phenomenon easily occurs.
