Biochip/ Microfluidic Chip Fabrication
At Nanosystems JP, we specialize in providing the fabrication of biochips/ microfluidics chips and devices. The experienced team of engineers and technicians use the latest technologies and techniques to create high-quality, reliable products with applications in Life sciences, Biomedical & Health Tech solutions.
Chips can be fabricated on
Glass
Silicon
Polymer
Glass
Our chips can be fabricated on large-size substrates (500x600mm), allowing for a cheap chip cost. We use various materials, such as borosilicate glass, quartz, and other materials.
Typical fabrication techniques
For patterning: photolithography, laser processing followed by wet etching, nanoimprinting for nanostructures, etc.
Thin film deposition of metals such as gold, platinum, ITO (transparent electrode), etc., using sputtering, evaporation, etc.
Dry/wet etching of various deposited coatings.
Polymer-based biocompatible insulators such as SU8, polyamides, etc.
Glass dicing and Glass bonding
Our glass biochip fabrication services are ideal for various applications, including glass-based microfluidics devices and multi-wall plates for cell culture.
Silicon
Silicon is processed with conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques such as Photolithography, etching, etc.
Silicon is easier to etch, and complex micro-nanopatterning can perform.
Apart from the above, it can withstand high temperatures and chemicals.
Silicon can allow microelectronics in microfluidics, making them ideal for Bio-MEMS.
Typical fabrication techniques:
Patterning using Photolithography, nanoimprinting
High aspect ratio structures using DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) can be possible.
Thin film deposition of various electrode and piezoelectric materials can be done.
We also specialize in hybrid chips, combining glass/polymer with silicon.
Techniques such as TSV, bonding, etc., allows combining CMOS and microfluidics.
Polymer
We offer a range of polymer-based microfluidics chips that are cheaper to manufacture than glass-based chips. Our chips are made from various polymers, including PDMS, PC, COP, and PMMA.
Glass breakage during handling is the most common problem causing injuries or experimental disruptions. Hence in such cases, the polymer is preferred over glass.
Our fabrication techniques include
Injection molding
PDMS Transfer molding using Si-etched wafer
SU8 mold/master (fabricated using photolithography on Si wafer) to be used to manufacture PDMS chips (Soft lithography)
We also offer a range of bonding techniques, including
PDMS to glass
PDMS to PDMS
PDMS to SUS
