  • NANOFLUIDIC CHANNELS WITH GRADUAL DEPTH CHANGE FOR REDUCING ENTROPIC BARRIER OF BIOPOLYMERS
    Publication number: 20150024115
    Abstract: A device for passing a biopolymer molecule includes a nanochannel formed between a surface relief structure, a patterned layer forming sidewalls of the nanochannel and a sealing layer formed over the patterned layer to encapsulate the nanochannel. The surface relief structure includes a three-dimensionally rounded surface that reduces a channel dimension of the nanochannel at a portion of nanochannel and gradually increases the dimension along the nanochannel toward an opening position, which is configured to receive a biopolymer.
