BIOCHIP AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A biochip includes a substrate and a patterned polymer layer molded over the substrate and formed with at least one recess that is adapted to receive biological analytes to be detected using a reader. The patterned polymer layer is bonded to the substrate through molding techniques and has structural characteristics indicative of the patterned polymer layer being formed by molding techniques. A method for making the biochip is also disclosed.

主权项

1. A method of making a biochip, comprising:
providing a mold including first and second mold halves, the first mold half being formed with an accommodating groove, the second mold half being provided with a patterning member facing toward the accommodating groove; securing a substrate in the accommodating groove; disposing a polymer material on the substrate; patterning the polymer material through the patterning member in the mold; and curing the polymer material so as to form a patterned polymer layer on the substrate; wherein the patterned polymer layer is formed with at least one recess having a pattern that corresponds to that of the patterning member and that is adapted to receive a biological analyte.
