摘要: A method of micro-machining a semiconductor substrate to form through slots therein and substrates made by the method. The method includes providing a dry etching chamber having a platen for holding a semiconductor substrate. During an etching cycle of a dry etch process for the semiconductor substrate, a source power is decreased, a chamber pressure is decreased from a first pressure to a second pressure, and a platen power is increased from a first power to a second power. Through slots in the substrate provided by the method can have a reentrant profile for fluid flow therethrough.

摘要: A method for improving fluidic flow for a microfluidic device having a through hole or slot therein. The method includes the steps of forming one or more openings through at least part of a thickness of a substrate from a first surface to an opposite second surface using a reactive ion etching process whereby an etch stop layer is applied to side wall surfaces in the one or more openings during alternating etching and passivating steps as the openings are etched through at least a portion of the substrate. Substantially all of the etch stop layer coating is removed from the side wall surfaces by treating the side wall surfaces using a method selected from chemical treatment and mechanical treatment, whereby a surface energy of the treated side wall surfaces is increased relative to a surface energy of the side wall surfaces containing the etch stop layer coating.

摘要: A method of micro-machining a semiconductor substrate to form one or more through slots therein. The semiconductor substrate has a device side and a fluid side opposite the device side. The method includes diffusing a p-type doping material into the device side of the semiconductor substrate in one or more through slot locations to be etched through a thickness of the substrates. The semiconductor substrate is then etched with a dry etch process from the device side of the substrate to the fluid side of the substrate so that one or more through slots having a reentrant profile are formed in the substrate.

摘要: A method of substantially simultaneously forming at least two fluid supply slots through a thickness of semiconductor substrate from a first surface to a second surface thereof. The method includes the steps of applying a photoresist layer to the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The photoresist layer is patterned and developed using a gray scale mask for a first fluid supply slot. The semiconductor substrate is then reactive ion etched, to form the at least two fluid supply slots through the thickness of the substrate. The first fluid supply slot is substantially wider than the second fluid supply slot, and the first and second fluid supply slots are etched through the substrate at substantially the same rate.
