Abstract

The micropatterning of biomolecules on silicon was investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) anodic oxidation technique. The oxide patterns were drawn on the surface by applying a dc voltage between a conductive AFM tip and the Si substrate. The oxide patterns are then used as templates for immobilization of biomolecules with the help of linker molecules. The AFM imaging prior to patterning allowed precise alignment of patterns to existing structures such as field effect transistors (FET) and microelectrodes.
