Abstract:
Provided are monolithic structures comprising one or more suspended, nanoporous membranes that are in contact with one or more fluidic cavities, methods of making same, and exemplary uses of same. The monolithic structures can be formed using a transmembrane etch. The monolithic structures can be used, as examples, as filters and filtration modules in microfluidic devices, dialysis devices, and concentration devices in laboratory, industrial, and medical processes.

Claim (Index 3):
A monolithic structure comprising a suspended, nanoporous membrane comprising:\n a substrate having a first side and opposing second side, wherein the substrate has a plurality of trenches; a patterned first membrane material layer disposed on the first side of the substrate, wherein the patterned first membrane material layer has a plurality of pores fluidically connected to the trenches in the substrate; a first layer of via material disposed on the patterned first membrane material layer, wherein the first layer of via material is patterned to have vias fluidically connected to the pores; and a layer of masking material disposed on the second side of the substrate, wherein the layer of masking material has at least one fluidic cavity that is fluidically connected with the trenches in the substrate.
