  • Ultra low capacitance glass supported dielectric membranes for macromolecular analysis
    Patent number: 10274478
    Abstract: Provided are suspended solid-state membranes on glass chips with improved capacitance. The membranes include a first cavity formed in the thickness of the glass membrane, the first cavity having a width that increases along the direction extending from the first surface of the membrane to the second surface of the membrane, a first membrane surmounting at least a portion of the first surface of the glass membrane, the first membrane having a pore formed therethrough, and the pore of the first membrane being in fluid communication with the first cavity of the glass membrane. Also provided are related methods of fabricating the disclosed chips and of using the disclosed chips for macromolecular analysis.
