Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The technology to which the present invention pertains covers microelectromechanical, microfluidic systems, surface modification, and biochemical detection. In this case, a passive detection biochemical fluid wafer is proposed: in the microchannel, the biochemical fluid is spontaneously transmitted to the detection zone by capillary force. At this time, the biochemical substance in the biochemical fluid reacts with the biochemical probe on the surface of the detection zone. No, it affects the surface wettability of this detection zone, which in turn determines whether the biochemical fluid moves to the back end. The movement of the biochemical fluid after the reaction in the detection zone can achieve the purpose of detection. The biochemical detection wafer fabricated by using the patent concept has the characteristics of spontaneously driving biochemical fluid, reusable, simultaneous detection of various biochemical substances, total content of quantitative biochemical substances, simple operation and easy judgment, and the wafer can be single. The component or the composition of the microfluidic network. [Prior Art] With the development of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) processes, microfluidic biochips are the product of this thinking, and the future biomedicine Industry trends. In short, microfluidic biofilms combine microfluidic traits with cross-domain technologies to achieve any manipulation, rapid processing, low sample throughput, accurate detection, and low cost. The topic of research on microfluidic biochemical wafers has grown and expanded exponentially in recent decades, and related research papers and patent applications have sprung up, Manz ¢/α/·, public/isws 1990 The core concept of the wafer specifically intensifies the processes of sample processing, biochemical reactions, and detection and analysis. While Burns β a/·, SaV/ice, 1998 realizes the micro biochemical system on a wafer, 201113524 attempts to replace the time-consuming, labor-intensive, A cumbersome sample processing procedure; sample processing includes steps such as separation, mixing, screening, purification, and collection. Helmut Kaiser Consulting's Market Report Predicts that in 2010, the output value of microfluidic biochemical wafers accounted for 27% of the total market value of the biochemical wafer industry, and by 2020, its proportion will increase to 39% year by year. The prior art (Republic of China Patent Certificate No.: 1314162) invented a microfluidic detection device. It is suitable for detecting a liquid analyte, including an electrode and a detection module. The liquid sample is flowed by the electrode to generate liquid dielectrophoresis to drive the flow of the liquid analyte; the detection module has a light-emitting element and an analysis unit, and the light-emitting element emits a detection light source to excite The light-emitting ability of the liquid to be tested is illuminated, thereby detecting the liquid analyte flowing in the flow region. This type of detecting device can arbitrarily manipulate the detected sample fluid, but the driving source (electric field) must be applied to manipulate the movement of the sample fluid, and the components of the device body are relatively complicated, greatly reducing the practical value of the device. Another prior art (Republic of China patent certificate number: 1289666) 1⁄4 out a non-powered test liquid bead detection device, the test liquid bead and the reaction reagent liquid bead are placed on the surface with a microstructure, this Wei The strain will spontaneously move to the reaction zone, and the signal generated by the reaction between the two will be detected by the detection device at the rear end. This type of device drives the liquid bead movement by the concept of surface tension, which is a passive driving method. However, the back end detection of this device is dependent on the reaction of the externally-sensed pure sensing sample, and the rib is tested. The purpose of 'in addition, the use of the domain structure to drive the sample liquid droplets _, contains several potential drawbacks: The first -, the microstructure of the production process is relatively complex. The production process includes lithography, side and flipping steps. The surface of the restructured structure is still subjected to surface modification to drive the ship's beads on the surface. Second, the evaporation and contamination of the sample beads. The moving space where the liquid bead is located is an open system, and it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of filth. Secondly, from the point of view of home inspection and inspection, it is difficult to control the whiteness of the person who has tested the process of 201113524. When the surface of the microstructure moves, the surface is in a non-horizontal state, which will seriously affect the path of the liquid bead moving and greatly reduce the success rate of detection. In recent years, the number and the number have increased, and the home is fast and convenient to detect f吣(4). The PGQ crane is very important, and (4) the target is mixed.帛 _ « _ body passive drive. No additional drive source is required to drive sample movement, which significantly reduces cost and operational complexity. Second, the parallel processing of the samples, the detection of several samples, the process of accelerating the detection and the shortening of the third, reusable. Most biofilms are disposable. However, some biochemical wafers are expensive, so developing reusable wafers can reduce costs. Fourth, the operation is convenient, simple and quick to arrest the judgment result. In view of this, the present invention proposes a wafer that meets the above several advantages, which is extremely advanced, new and practical. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present patent application proposes a biomedical detection wafer having the characteristics of spontaneously driving fluid movement, and the crystal micro-electromechanical process produces a micro-flow channel having at least a surface-hydrophilic surface. The surface wettable modification technique is used to modify the probe molecules of the mosquito to a part of the inner wall of the microchannel, and the wettability of the region is thus reduced (ie, the hydrophilicity is lowered and the hydrophobicity is enhanced), which is the detection area. . Because of the main side force at the surface scale—the boundary force is so the biochemical fluid is placed at the microchannel inlet of the wafer. This fluid is subjected to unbalanced interfacial tension and is drawn into the interior of the microchannel. When the fluid advances to When the surface is modified (inspection), it stays in this area because the unbalanced interface tension is small. When the target (4) et biochemical molecule in the biochemical fluid reacts with the probe molecule in the detection zone, the surface wettability is enhanced (ie, the hydrophilicity is enhanced, the hydrophobicity is reduced to 201113524), and the fluid can pass through the detection zone; if the biochemical fluid is not When the target biochemical molecule is contained, since the surface characteristics of the detection zone are not changed, the biochemical fluid will continue to stay in this region, so that the specific biochemical molecule can be detected by whether the fluid can pass through the detection zone. The objects, technical features, features and effects achieved by the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of the embodiments. [Embodiment] The present invention proposes a method for producing a passive biochemical detection wafer, and the following describes a method for fabricating a detection zone by using a diagram of the present invention, which can be used to illustrate the detection of the DNA in the closure zone. The overall shape of the wafer and its detection principle. As shown in Figure la, 'the hydrophilic stone wafer is used as the substrate (1〇〇), because the DNA cannot be directly bonded to the surface of the Shixi wafer. @@上在上上 partial area (1〇la) Molecular self-assembly made of 10-undecenyldimethylchlorosilane | secondary, *^^· early film (self-assembled m_layerXl〇2) 'The functional group of this film is alkenyl (CH2), It is not possible to directly bind to DNA. Therefore, using the permanganate over-dissolved acid solution, the station (4) is used to acidify the alkenyl group into a carboxyl group (COOH). Since the carboxyl group can be bonded to the amino group (NH), the probe DNA is first (pr〇be). The DNA-endion of DNAK103) is modified to an amino group; since DNA itself is hydrophilic, in order to prepare a hydrophobic detection region, a gas compound (1〇4) is modified on the other end of the probe DNA. The probe DNA modified at both ends is reacted with the silk on the first layer self-assembled film to produce a second layer of molecular self-assembled film (1〇3(4) sentence, since the functional group at the terminus is a compound, so this The surface of the area is hydrophobic (lower wettability). Due to the mutual leakage of DNA, the probe position will only hybridize to the specific sequence of DNA 201113524, which means that it will only bind to the target DNA (105). The length of the probe DNA segment is designed to be shorter than the length of the target DNA. When the probe DNA on the region hybridizes to the target DNA, the result is as shown in Figure lb, and the end of the target is exposed on the surface due to The target DNA is not modified with hydrophobic molecules, so the surface properties will become hydrophilic after complementary hybridization. As shown in Figure 2a, a trench with a trench is fabricated using a standard microelectromechanical process with pdydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The plate (2〇2), after the cover plate is treated by the oxygen plasma, is combined with the above-mentioned cerebral wafer substrate _) to form a microfluidic channel, which is the biochemical fluid detecting device proposed in the present invention. The detection principle is shown in Figures 2b and 2c. First, the fluid containing DNA (204a & 204b) (2〇3a & 203b) is dropped on the inlet end (right end) of the flow channel. In the suction passage, when the fluid advances to the left end (2〇5), it will encounter hydrophobicity. As the capillary force received here decreases, it will not continue. When the fluid stays in this area, the target DNA in the fluid will hybridize with the probe DNA on the surface, and the detection zone will become a hydrophilic surface (2〇lb) and the fluid will pass (Fig. 2c). If the biochemical fluid to be tested does not have the target DNA, the fluid will remain unpassable (ie, maintain the state shown in Figure 2b). Therefore, whether the fluid contains the target DNA can be detected by the passage of the fluid. . After the biochemical fluid has been tested, the wafer can be heat treated (about 95 〇, at this temperature state, the self-assembled film structure of the first layer and the second layer and the PDMS cover plate are not destroyed, and only the complementary hybridization will be performed. The latter double-strand DNA is denatured, and the detection zone is restored from hydrophilic (state of Figure lb) to hydrophobic (state of Figure la). That is to say, the wafer has reusable characteristics. Next, two examples are given. To illustrate the specific application and other features of the present invention, the substrate (300) of the test wafer shown in FIG. 3 has four side-by-side detection zones (3〇2a~3〇2d), and four detection zones 201113524 have four A different sequence of probe DNA, the cover plate made of PDMS (4) is also divided into four micro-flow channels at the left end, and is divided into four micro-channels. When biochemical Zhao Jinren flows, if it contains DNA with probe 1 ( 3()la) Mutual lion DNA time (target DNA) can pass the first test (301a) 'If the target DNA is not available, and so on, the other three detection areas (301b~301d) With the same detection principle, the detection wafer demonstrated in this embodiment can simultaneously detect four different DNA, that is to say, the detection device proposed in the present invention has the function of simultaneously detecting a plurality of biochemical substances. The substrate on the detection wafer of Fig. 4 (4〇〇) has three detection areas (4〇2&~4〇2c) The probe DNA of the three detection zones is identical. When the biochemical fluid (4〇3) enters the flow channel, it contains the target DNA (404a) and therefore reacts with the first detection zone. The hydrophilicity allows the fluid to continue to touch the second detection zone (4〇2b). The target DNA in the biochemical fluid has been reduced by complementary hybridization with the probe DNA of the first detection zone. When the biochemical fluid touches the second detection zone, the target DNA amount cannot pass through the second detection zone if it has been consumed by the first detection zone to change the hydrophilicity of the second detection zone (Fig. 4). Conversely, 'If the target DNA contained in the biochemical fluid is sufficient, the second detection zone can be converted into Lu hydrophilicity and pass through this zone. According to this age, the fluid can (4) pass the third inspection. Depending on the amount of target DNA contained in it, it is demonstrated by this embodiment. The detection wafer can be touched by 8NA _ number 4 by the number of biochemical fluids passing through the detection zone, and the concept of finding a tree ride can be used to quantify the content of biochemical substances. Whether the above methods, means, ideas, or even related concepts The extension of this patent belongs to the scope of this patent. 8 201113524 [Simple description of the diagram] The first figure shows the self-assembly of DNA on the surface area of the wafer surface area.
