  • Publication number: 20230191395
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a medical diagnostic chip using a mixed lithography method. The method includes forming first patterns in a first region using first lithography, and forming second patterns in a second region using second lithography, wherein a part of the second patterns is formed in a part of the first region among the region where the first region and the second region are adjacent to each other.

  • Patent number: 10344324
    Abstract: A technique is provided for controlling biomolecules in a nanodevice. A membrane has two reservoirs at opposing ends of the membrane. A nanochannel is formed in the membrane connecting the two reservoirs. A gate electrode is formed on the membrane such that the gate electrode extends laterally in a region of the nanochannel. A biomolecule is trapped in the nanochannel by applying a first voltage to the gate electrode. In response to trapping the biomolecule, the biomolecule is stretched in the nanochannel by applying a second voltage to the gate electrode. The biomolecule is stretched based on changing from the first voltage to the second voltage applied to the gate electrode.

  • Patent number: 9285337
    Abstract: A technique includes providing a nanodevice. A gate electrode structure has nanochannels with a first end connected to a first common trench and a second end connected to a second common trench. A gate electrode extends laterally as a continuous line on the gate electrode structure and is formed in each of the nanochannels. The gate electrode forms a separate nano-ring electrode around a partial circumference inside each of the nanochannels. The gate electrode is parallel to the first and second common trenches and is perpendicular to the nanochannels.
