  • Photoresists processable under biocompatible conditions for multi-biomolecule patterning
    Patent number: 7608389
    Abstract: Novel photoresist materials, which can be photolithographically processed in biocompatible conditions are presented in this invention. Suitable lithographic scheme for the use of these and analogous resists for biomolecule layer patterning on solid substrates are also described. The processes described enable micropatterning of more than two different proteins on solid substrates without denaturation of the proteins. The preferred resist materials are based on (meth)acrylate copolymers that contain at least one acid cleavable ester group and at least one hydrophilic group such as an alcoholic or a carboxylic group.
