Abstract

An optical detection field, wherein a diamond-like carbon thin film containing therein fluorine is formed on a surface facing an existence region of a substance.

Claims (11)

1. An optical detection field, comprising:

a reaction region, of a plurality of reaction regions, wherein,

the reaction region is configured to facilitate a fluorsecent reaction of at least one substance,

a diamond-like carbon thin film containing therein fluorine is formed on a surface of the reaction region, such that the film is between the surface of the reaction region and the substance, the film has a transmittance of visibile light of 10% or less, the film contains therein flourine in atom ratio (F/(F+C+H)) of 0 to 40%, the film has a hybrid ratio of SP 2 /SP 3 set in the range of 0.5 to 1.1, and the film has a thickness set in the range of 1 to 1,000 nm, and

the reaction region is adjacent to a cover that is opposite the film, such that the substance is between the thin film and the cover, and the cover is optically transparent over the range of wavelengths that the reaction fluoresces.

2. The optical detection field according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a flow channel configured to:

introduce the substance to the reaction region, of the plurality of reaction regions, and

discharge the substance from the reaction region, of the plurality of reaction regions,

wherein said diamond-like carbon thin film is formed on a surface of said flow channel, such that the diamond-like thin film is between the surface of the flow channel and the substance.

3. The optical detection field according to claim 2 , wherein said optical detection field is used for detection of fluorescence substance in a real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction-or a Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid chip.
