MICROSTRUCTURE DEVICE FOR MEASURING MOLECULAR MEMBRANES AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID MICROSTRUCTURE DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a microstructure for measuring biological membranes, comprising a carrier substrate having an upper side for supporting the membrane, at least one micro-cavity of the carrier substrate for receiving an electrolyte, said micro-cavity being open at the top and merging into a micro-opening in the upper side of the carrier substrate. Said micro-opening has a first characteristic diameter (D1), at least one electrode which is arranged at least partially in the micro-cavity and has a contact side which is adjacent to the inner volume of the micro-cavity for contacting an electrolyte, said micro-structure being characterised in that said contact side of the electrode has a characteristic diameter (D2) which is greater than the diameter (D1). The invention also relates to a corresponding method for producing said microstructure.
