<p>A micro-electromagnet matrix (35 of Figure 11) captures and controls the movement of particles with nanoscale resolution. The micro-electromagnet matrix (35 of Figure 11) includes multiple layers (40 and 50 of figure 11) of microconductors (41 and 51 of Figure 11), each layer of microconductors (41 of Figure 11) being orthogonal to an adjacent layer of microconductors (51 of Figure 11). The layers of microconductors (40 and 50 of Figure 11) are formed on a substrate (20 of Figure 11) and have insulating layers (45 of Figure 11) therebetween. The field patterns produced by the micro-electromagnet matrix (35 of Figure 11) enable precise manipulation of particles. The micro-electromagnet matrix (35 of Figure 11) produces single or multiple independent field peaks in the m agnetic field that are used to trap, move, or rotate the particles. The micro-electromagnet matrix (35 of Figure 11) also produces electromagnetic fields to probe and detect particles.</p> |
