Design and Microfabrication of Biochemical Reaction Chip.

With the MEMS technology a biochemical reaction chip was fabricated successfully. It was an integrated chip with reaction chamber, heater and temperature sensor on it. The chamber was a completely etched silicon vessel with a bottom made of nitride membrane. The volume of the chamber was less than 2µ1. In this paper, the chamber structure, heater configuration and its thermal uniformity were designed and simulated and the fabrication technology of the chip was illustrated. DNA PCR amplification on the chip was successfully demonstrated with HB template. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
