    Abstract: Interdigitated electrode arrays are very promising devices for multi-parameter (bio)sensing, for example the label-free detection of nucleic acid hybridization for diagnostic applications. The current disclosure provides an innovative method for the affordable manufacturing of polymer-based arrays of interdigitated electrodes with ?m-dimensions. The method is based on a combination of an appropriate three-dimensional structure and a single and directional deposition of conductive material. The three-dimensional structure can be realized in a polymer material using a molding step, for which the molds are manufactured by electroplating as a reverse copy of a silicon master structure. In order to ensure sufficient electrical isolation and individual, but convenient, accessibility of the sensors in the array, the interdigitated electrode regions need to be complemented with specific features on the three-dimensional structure. Combined with the use of e.g.

  • Patent number: 7947518
    Abstract: This invention discloses that photolithography can be made compatible with the production of electronic devices containing sensitive materials, if the sensitive materials are over-coated with an ultra-thin layer of non-reactive materials (e.g. inorganic oxides) before undergoing photolithographic patterning. This protecting layer isolates the sensitive materials from solvents and etching reactants used in photolithographic patterning, and does not need to be removed from the sensitive materials after patterning is completed. This invention enables photolithography to be applied to the production of electronic devices containing sensitive materials, facilitating the development of commercially viable production processes for these devices.

    Abstract: In case that a conventional TFT is formed to have an inversely staggered type, a resist mask is required to be formed by an exposing, developing, and droplet discharging in forming an island-like semiconductor region. It resulted in the increase in the number of processes and the number of materials. According to the present invention, a process can be simplified since after forming a source region and a drain region, a portion serving as a channel region is covered by an insulating film serving as a channel protecting film to form an island-like semiconductor film, and so a semiconductor element can be manufactured by using only metal mask without using a resist mask.
