Abstract

A LAB ON A CHIP Figure 1 shows the cross-sectional view of the microchip, which in this case is provided in the form of a silicon wafer. The microchip has an upper surface (2) and a lower surface (3). The upper surface (2) has at least one opening (4) which extends into the microchip and is filled with a dielectric such as silicon dioxide. In the bottom wall there is a channel (5) which is aligned with the opening (4) and provides an optical passage through the microchip.
