以上、詳細に説明したように、本発明によれば、下記のような効果を奏することができる。   As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

本発明の微小立体構造操作具の作製方法は、3次元CADを利用して設計した微小立体構造操作具を三次元モデルから算出した描画データに基づいて、原料ガスへの集束イオンビームの照射によるFIB−CVD法を用い、集束イオンビームの照射位置、ビームの強度、照射時間、照射間隔を制御することで任意形状の微小立体構造操作具を作製する。   The method for producing a micro three-dimensional structure operating tool of the present invention is based on the irradiation of a focused ion beam to a source gas based on drawing data calculated from a three-dimensional model of a micro three-dimensional structure operating tool designed using three-dimensional CAD. An FIB-CVD method is used to control a focused ion beam irradiation position, beam intensity, irradiation time, and irradiation interval to produce a micro three-dimensional structure operating tool having an arbitrary shape.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

本発明者らは、フェナントレンガスを用いてDLC(Diamond Like Carbon) で構成されたナノワイングラス、コイル、ピラーなどのさまざまな立体ナノ構造をFIB−CVDにより自由に作製することをこれまでに示している(下記特許文献1〜3,非特許文献1〜2参照)。このFIBを用いた微小立体構造の形成技術は、さまざまなナノツールを作製する上で非常に有効な技術である。また、FIB−CVDの特徴から、さまざまな材料でツール構造を形成でき、さらにシリコン基板上、AFMのカンチレバー上、ガラスキャピラリー上等の至る所でのツール構造形成が可能である。   The present inventors have shown that various three-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowine glasses, coils, pillars, etc. composed of DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) using phenanthrene gas can be freely produced by FIB-CVD. (See Patent Documents 1 to 3 and Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 below). This technique for forming a micro three-dimensional structure using FIB is a very effective technique for producing various nano tools. In addition, because of the characteristics of FIB-CVD, a tool structure can be formed with various materials, and further, a tool structure can be formed on a silicon substrate, an AFM cantilever, a glass capillary, and the like.

以下で述べる一連のナノツールは、FIB−CVDにより作製したツールである。その作製原理模式図を図1として示す。   A series of nano tools described below is a tool manufactured by FIB-CVD. A schematic diagram of the manufacturing principle is shown in FIG.

図1に示すように、シリコン基板1上にDLCピラー2を形成する場合、CVDのガス原料としてフェナントレン(C1410)3を用いる。フェナントレン3を約85℃に加熱し、ガス圧1.0×10-4Paで噴射し、そのガス雰囲気中にビーム照射電流約7pA程度のGa+ 集束イオンビーム4を照射することでCVDを行う。Ga+ 集束イオンビーム4によるCVDは、フェナントレンガス雰囲気中にGa+ 集束イオンビーム4を照射することで、基板1に吸着しているフェナントレン分子をビーム励起表面反応により分解し、カーボンを析出させ堆積させることでDLC2を成長させていくものであり、本発明では、Ga+ 集束イオンビーム4を任意方向にスキャンさせることでナノツールとしてナノカッター及びナノフィルタとなる構造をガラスキャピラリー上に形成した。ビーム制御は、独自に開発した3D−CAMを用いて行った。 As shown in FIG. 1, when the DLC pillar 2 is formed on the silicon substrate 1, phenanthrene (C 14 H 10 ) 3 is used as a CVD gas material. CVD is performed by heating the phenanthrene 3 to about 85 ° C., injecting it at a gas pressure of 1.0 × 10 −4 Pa, and irradiating the gas atmosphere with a Ga + focused ion beam 4 having a beam irradiation current of about 7 pA. . CVD using a Ga + focused ion beam 4 irradiates the Ga + focused ion beam 4 in a phenanthrene gas atmosphere, thereby decomposing the phenanthrene molecules adsorbed on the substrate 1 by a beam-excited surface reaction to deposit and deposit carbon. In this invention, a structure that becomes a nanocutter and a nanofilter as a nanotool is formed on the glass capillary by scanning the Ga + focused ion beam 4 in an arbitrary direction. The beam control was performed using a uniquely developed 3D-CAM.

図2は本発明の実施例を示すFIB−CVDを用いたナノカッターの作製方法の説明図である。   FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a method for producing a nanocutter using FIB-CVD showing an embodiment of the present invention.

(1)まず、図2(a)に示すように、マイクロピペットプラーによりガラスキャピラリー11の引き伸ばしを行った。このプロセスによりガラスキャピラリー11先端の直径を約1μmにすることができる。   (1) First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the glass capillary 11 was stretched by a micropipette puller. By this process, the diameter of the tip of the glass capillary 11 can be reduced to about 1 μm.

(2)次に、図2(b)に示すように、FIB−CVDを用いて、ガラスキャピラリー11外壁の側面に細胞壁切断のためのブレードナイフ12を作製した。ここでは、CVDのガス原料としてフェナントレン(C1410)を用い、硬度に優れたDLCでブレードナイフ12を作製した。 (2) Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, a blade knife 12 for cutting the cell wall was formed on the side surface of the outer wall of the glass capillary 11 using FIB-CVD. Here, phenanthrene (C 14 H 10 ) was used as a CVD gas material, and the blade knife 12 was made of DLC having excellent hardness.

(3)次に、図2(c)に示すように、前プロセス過程と同様に反対側のガラスキャピラリー11外壁側面に同じDLCでブレードナイフ13を作製した。   (3) Next, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), a blade knife 13 was made of the same DLC on the outer wall side surface of the opposite glass capillary 11 as in the previous process.

(4)そして最後に、図2(d)に示すように、ガラスキャピラリー11先端に、細胞に穴をあけ細胞内に侵入するための細胞壁進入針(ニードル)14を作製し、ナノカッター10が完成した。この細胞壁進入針14の材質もDLCである。   (4) Finally, as shown in FIG. 2 (d), a cell wall entry needle (needle) 14 for making a hole in the cell and entering the cell is prepared at the tip of the glass capillary 11, and the nanocutter 10 completed. The material of the cell wall entry needle 14 is also DLC.

図3は本発明により作製したナノカッターのSEM画像を示す図である。   FIG. 3 is a view showing an SEM image of the nanocutter produced according to the present invention.

FIB−CVDを用いた作製に要した時間は約30分であった。ナノカッター10は、図3に示すようにDLCブレードナイフ12,13及びニードル14を有している。   The time required for production using FIB-CVD was about 30 minutes. The nanocutter 10 has DLC blade knives 12 and 13 and a needle 14 as shown in FIG.

次に、作製したナノカッターを用いて、細胞壁を選択的に切断する実験を行った。ここでは、オオカナダ藻(Egeria densa) の細胞を使用した。   Next, an experiment for selectively cutting the cell wall was performed using the produced nanocutter. Here, cells of Egeria densa were used.

図4にナノカッターを使った細胞壁の切断の様子を示す。   FIG. 4 shows the state of cell wall cutting using a nanocutter.

まず、図4(a)に示すように、細胞壁21近傍までナノカッター10を近づけた。   First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the nanocutter 10 was brought close to the vicinity of the cell wall 21.

次に、図4(b)に示すように、細胞内進入ニードル14で細胞壁21を押した。このとき細胞壁21が伸びるのが観察された。そして、細胞壁21が伸長限界に達すると、細胞壁21に穴が開き、更に強くナノカッター10を押すと、図4(c)に示すように、DLCブレードナイフ12,13により細胞壁21が切断された。   Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the cell wall 21 was pushed with the intracellular entry needle 14. At this time, the cell wall 21 was observed to grow. When the cell wall 21 reaches the extension limit, a hole is opened in the cell wall 21 and when the nanocutter 10 is pressed more strongly, the cell wall 21 is cut by the DLC blade knives 12 and 13 as shown in FIG. .

その後、図4(d)に示すように、細胞内からナノカッター10を取り出すと、浸透圧の違いで細胞内から外へ、葉緑体等の細胞内小器官が出てくるのが観察された。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), when the nanocutter 10 is taken out from the cell, it is observed that intracellular organelles such as chloroplasts emerge from the cell to the outside due to the difference in osmotic pressure. It was.

このようにしてナノカッター10を使って、細胞壁21を選択的に切断することに成功した。   In this manner, the cell wall 21 was selectively cut using the nanocutter 10.

次に、ナノツールとしてナノフィルタを作製した。   Next, a nanofilter was fabricated as a nanotool.

作製プロセスは、まず、マイクロピペットプラーによりガラスキャピラリー31を引き伸ばし、ガラスキャピラリー31先端の直径を約1μmにした。そして、加工中のイオンビームによるチャージアップを避けるために、DCスパッタリングを用いてガラスキャピラリー31側面にAuのコーティングを行った。この時の膜厚は約15nmである。次に、FIB−CVDを用いて、ナノフィルタ構造を作製した。作製したナノフィルタのSIM画像を図5として示す。ビーム電流7pAで作製時間は約40分である。ナノフィルタ32の網目状のワイヤ34の線幅が300nm、そして網目状のワイヤ34を支持するためのリング33の径が7μmといった構造をしている。このFIB−CVDにより作製したナノフィルタ32を用いて、直径2μmのポリスレンマイクロビーズを水中でフィルタリングする実験を行った。   In the production process, first, the glass capillary 31 was stretched by a micropipette puller so that the diameter of the tip of the glass capillary 31 was about 1 μm. Then, in order to avoid charge-up due to the ion beam during processing, the side surface of the glass capillary 31 was coated with Au using DC sputtering. The film thickness at this time is about 15 nm. Next, a nanofilter structure was fabricated using FIB-CVD. FIG. 5 shows a SIM image of the produced nanofilter. The fabrication time is about 40 minutes with a beam current of 7 pA. The wire width of the mesh wire 34 of the nanofilter 32 is 300 nm, and the diameter of the ring 33 for supporting the mesh wire 34 is 7 μm. Using the nanofilter 32 produced by this FIB-CVD, an experiment was conducted in which polysylene microbeads having a diameter of 2 μm were filtered in water.

図6は本発明のナノフィルタを用いたマイクロビーズのフィルタリング実験の様子を示す図である。   FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a microbead filtering experiment using the nanofilter of the present invention.

(1)まず、図6(a)に示すように、水面近くまでナノフィルタ32を近づけた。そして、図6(b)に示すように、マニピュレータのZ軸を操作することで、ナノフィルタ32をマイクロビーズの入った水中に入れた数秒保持した。数秒後、図6(c)に示すように、ナノフィルタ32によりマイクロビーズがフィルタリングされた。この時、図6(d)に示すように、ナノフィルタ32には3つのマイクロビーズがフィルタリングされていた。   (1) First, as shown in FIG. 6A, the nanofilter 32 was brought close to the water surface. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, by manipulating the Z axis of the manipulator, the nanofilter 32 was held for several seconds in water containing microbeads. After a few seconds, the microbeads were filtered by the nanofilter 32 as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6D, three microbeads were filtered in the nanofilter 32.

このようにして、ナノフィルタを用いてマイクロビーズのフィルタリングに成功した。   Thus, the microbead was successfully filtered using the nanofilter.

図7は本発明の実験後のマイクロビーズをフィルタリングしたナノフィルタのSIM画像を示す図である。   FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a SIM image of a nanofilter obtained by filtering microbeads after the experiment of the present invention.

ここでは、ナノフィルタ32には3つのマイクロビーズ35がフィルタリングされていた。   Here, three microbeads 35 are filtered in the nanofilter 32.

上記したように、本発明によれば、
(1)FIB−CVDにより作製したナノカッター及びナノフィルタは、医療分野、生命科学分野、工学分野等のさまざまな分野において使用でき、これらのナノツールを使った新規的及び高精度な微小対象物の操作・解析法の実現が可能である。
As mentioned above, according to the present invention,
(1) Nanocutters and nanofilters produced by FIB-CVD can be used in various fields such as the medical field, life science field, engineering field, etc., and novel and highly accurate micro objects using these nanotools. It is possible to realize the operation and analysis method.

(2)上記したナノカッター及びナノフィルタは、FIB−CVDを主技術として作製しているため、ツール構造、構造材料等を容易に変更可能であり、さまざまな応用が可能である。   (2) Since the nanocutter and the nanofilter described above are manufactured using FIB-CVD as the main technology, the tool structure, the structural material, and the like can be easily changed, and various applications are possible.

(3)上記したナノカッター及びナノフィルタはFIB−CVDを主技術として作製しているため、ツール構造材料の選択性に富み、細胞等と材料との相性に合わせた材料を任意に選択できる。   (3) Since the nanocutter and the nanofilter described above are manufactured using FIB-CVD as the main technique, the tool structure material is highly selective, and a material that matches the compatibility between the cells and the material can be arbitrarily selected.

(4)上記したナノカッター及びナノフィルタはFIB−CVDを主技術として作製しているため、ツール構造の材料を部分的に違った材料で形成可能である。   (4) Since the nanocutter and the nanofilter described above are manufactured using FIB-CVD as the main technique, the material of the tool structure can be partially formed from different materials.

(5)上記したナノカッター及びナノフィルタはFIB−CVDを主技術としているが、作製プロセスにおいて、他の加工技術との併用も可能であり、さまざまな展開が期待できる。   (5) Although the nanocutter and nanofilter described above have FIB-CVD as the main technology, they can be used in combination with other processing technologies in the production process, and various developments can be expected.

(6)本発明におけるナノカッターを用いれば、細胞の細胞膜、細胞膜等の微小対象物の選択的な切断が可能となり、微小対象物の任意の場所を切断できる。そのためその内部構造にダメージを与えることが少ない。例えば、細胞内の器官等を傷つけずに細胞膜、細胞壁を切断し除去することができる。   (6) By using the nanocutter in the present invention, it becomes possible to selectively cut micro objects such as cell membranes and cell membranes of cells, and it is possible to cut any place of the micro objects. Therefore, the internal structure is less damaged. For example, the cell membrane and cell wall can be cut and removed without damaging the organs in the cell.

(7)本発明におけるナノフィルタを用いることで、微小対象物のフィルタリングが可能であり、さらに、フィルタリングした微小対象物をそのまま損傷を与えずマニピュレートできるため、その後、高精度な測定、分析を行うことができる。   (7) By using the nanofilter according to the present invention, it is possible to filter a minute object, and further, the filtered minute object can be manipulated as it is without being damaged, so that highly accurate measurement and analysis are performed thereafter. be able to.

なお、上記実施例では、ガラスキャピラリーへの微小構造物操作具の作製について述べたが、プローブへ微小構造物操作具を作製するようにしてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the fabrication of the microstructure manipulation tool on the glass capillary has been described. However, the microstructure manipulation tool may be fabricated on the probe.

本発明の微小立体構造操作具の作製方法は、ボトムアップ加工技術であるために局所的な場所に形成が可能である。   Since the manufacturing method of the micro three-dimensional structure operation tool of the present invention is a bottom-up processing technique, it can be formed locally.

また、医療分野、生命科学分野、工学分野におけるFIB−CVDを用いて作製したナノカッター及びナノフィルタの利用は、操作、解析対象である微小対象物に損傷を与えない操作、解析が可能であることを特徴としている。例えば、細胞内小器官は細胞膜、細胞壁に覆われており、細胞内小器官の操作・分析を行うためには、まず細胞膜、細胞壁を取り除く必要がある。しかしながら、既存の除去法、つまりミキサーを用いたホモゲナイズや酵素を用いた手法では、分析対象である細胞内小器官を機械的・化学的に傷つけてしまう恐れが非常に高かった。つまり、分析対象に機械的・化学的な損傷を与えるということは、知りたい生体情報を正確に取り出せないということを意味している。そこで、本発明におけるナノカッターを用いることで、細胞内小器官等を傷つけることなく、細胞壁の局所部分を選択的に切断することが可能であり、生体の正確な情報の取り出しが実現できる。本発明におけるナノフィルタはガラスキャピラリーやプローブ先端にも作製可能であるために、特定サイズの微小対象物を選別・捕獲する場合、従来のようなチップ上の流路等に対象物を流す作業が不要であり、ナノフィルタを有するガラスキャピラリー等を市販のマニピュレータ等で操作するだけで、任意の場所での選別・捕獲が可能である。また、細胞、細胞内小器官をマニピュレートする手法として、従来は微小なピンセットや空気で吸引するアスピレータが用いられてきたが、それらの方法では細胞や細胞内小器官等の操作、解析対象に対して圧力をかけることになり、対象を傷つけずに操作することが困難であった。そこで本発明におけるナノフィルタを用いることで、ソフトタッチでの対象捕獲が実現可能となる。   In addition, the use of nanocutters and nanofilters fabricated using FIB-CVD in the medical field, life science field, and engineering field allows operation and analysis without damaging the micro object that is the object of operation and analysis. It is characterized by that. For example, intracellular organelles are covered with cell membranes and cell walls, and in order to manipulate and analyze intracellular organelles, it is first necessary to remove the cell membranes and cell walls. However, the existing removal method, that is, the homogenization using a mixer or the method using an enzyme, has a very high risk of mechanically and chemically damaging the intracellular organelle to be analyzed. In other words, mechanical and chemical damage to the analysis target means that the biological information that is desired cannot be accurately extracted. Therefore, by using the nanocutter in the present invention, it is possible to selectively cut a local portion of the cell wall without damaging an intracellular organelle or the like, and it is possible to extract accurate information on a living body. Since the nanofilter in the present invention can also be produced on a glass capillary or the tip of a probe, when sorting and capturing a minute object of a specific size, there is a conventional work of flowing the object through a flow path on a chip. It is unnecessary and can be selected and captured at any place by simply operating a glass capillary having a nanofilter with a commercially available manipulator. In addition, as a technique for manipulating cells and subcellular organelles, micro tweezers and aspirators that suck with air have been used in the past. It was difficult to operate without damaging the subject. Therefore, by using the nanofilter according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve target capture by soft touch.
