    Abstract: Methods are provided for manufacturing well-controlled, solid-state nanopores and arrays thereof. In one aspect, methods for manufacturing nanopores and arrays thereof exploit a physical seam. One or more etch pits are formed in a topside of a substrate and one or more trenches, which align with the one or more etch pits, are formed in a backside of the substrate. An opening is formed between the one or more etch pits and the one or more trenches. A dielectric material is then formed over the substrate to fill the opening. Contacts are then disposed on the topside and the backside of the substrate and a voltage is applied from the topside to the backside, or vice versa, through the dielectric material to form a nanopore. In another aspect, the nanopore is formed at or near the center of the opening at a seam, which is formed in the dielectric material.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide dual pore sensors and methods for producing these dual pore sensors. The method includes forming a film stack, where the film stack contains two silicon layers and two membrane layers, and then etching the film stack to produce a channel extending therethrough and having two reservoirs and two nanopores. The method also includes depositing a oxide layer on inner surfaces of the reservoirs and nanopores, depositing a dielectric layer on the oxide layer, and forming a metal contact extending through a portion of the stack. The method further includes etching the dielectric layers to form wells, etching the first silicon layer to reveal the protective oxide layer deposited on the inner surfaces of a reservoir, and etching the protective oxide layer deposited on the inner surfaces of the reservoirs and the nanopores.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally provide improved photolithography systems and methods using a digital micromirror device (DMD). The DMD comprises columns and rows of micromirrors disposed opposite a substrate. Light beams reflect off the micromirrors onto the substrate, resulting in a patterned substrate. Certain subsets of the columns and rows of micromirrors may be positioned to the “off” position, such that they dump light, in order to correct for uniformity errors, i.e., features larger than desired, in the patterned substrate. Similarly, certain subsets of the columns and rows of micromirrors may be defaulted to the “off” position and selectively allowed to return to their programmed position in order to correct for uniformity errors, i.e., features smaller than desired, in the patterned substrate.

    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to a software application platform, which enhances image patterns resolution on a substrate. The application platform method includes running an algorithm to provide different target polygons for forming a pattern on a target. A minimum feature size which may be formed by a DMD is determined. For each target polygons smaller than the minimum feature size determining to line bias or shot bias the one or more target polygons to achieve an acceptable exposure contrast at the target polygon boundary. The one or more target polygons smaller than the minimum feature size are biased to form a digitized pattern on the substrate. Electromagnetic radiation is delivered to reflect off of a first mirror of the DMD when the centroid for the first mirror is within the one or more target polygons.
