Patent ID: 8507188

Claim:
A method for manufacturing micro/nano-fluidic devices comprising: a) depositing a thermosetting polymeric photo-resin on two substrates of biocompatible polymeric material, each of the substrates of biocompatible polymeric material covering the surface of one of two independent wafers, comprising a first wafer and a second wafer; b) performing a photolithography step at low temperature on the layers of thermosetting polymeric photo-resin deposited in step a); c) depositing metal type components on at least one wafer covered by the one of the substrates of biocompatible polymeric material and the polymeric photo-resin deposited in step a); d) microstructuring the metal-type components deposited in step c); e) depositing a layer of thermosetting polymeric photo-resin on the second wafer; f) performing a photolithography step at low temperature on the thermosetting polymeric photo-resin deposited on the second wafer; g) sealing at low temperature the first and second wafers obtained by superimposing the first and second wafers with the surfaces of the photo-resin facing one another; h) releasing the micro/nano-fluidic devices from the substrates of biocompatible polymeric material; i) cutting the micro/nano-fluidic devices.
