  • Microfabricated filter and capsule using a substrate sandwich
    Patent number: 5938923
    Abstract: A microfabricated filter made up of two bonded substrate structures, each consisting of single crystalline silicon can optionally be formed into a capsule. The pores of the filter consist of one or more channels disposed between the two substrate structures. The width of the channels are defined by a thickness of a sacrificial layer formed on one of the substrate structures. The filter includes pores having a precisely controlled pore width which may be as small as 5 nanometers. The filter provides a relatively high mechanical strength relative to filters having polycrystalline silicon structures and also has a high throughput and can be modified to have high resistance to adsorption of particles.
