Abstract

A base plate having a surface on which a plurality of hydroxyl groups can be introduced, a metallic membrane disposed on the base plate and having a plurality of wells reaching the base plate, and a crosslinkable polymer membrane disposed on the metallic membrane are included.

Claims (27)

1. A method for manufacturing a biochip including:

preparing a base plate;

forming a metallic membrane on the base plate;

forming a crosslinkable polymer membrane on the metallic membrane;

selectively removing portions of the polymer membrane;

delineating a plurality of wells reaching the base plate in the metallic membrane by using the polymer membrane as an etching mask;

introducing a plurality of hydroxyl groups on a surface of the base plate exposed from the plurality of wells;

bonding a plurality of probe biomolecules including protected amino groups to the plurality of hydroxyl groups; and

soaking the base plate, the metallic membrane and the polymer membrane in an alkaline solution to deprotect the amino groups included in the plurality of probe biomolecules and peel off the polymer membrane from the metallic membrane after the probe biomolecules are introduced on the base plate,

wherein the crosslinkable polymer membrane protects the metallic membrane while the probe biomolecules are introduced on the plate exposed from the plurality of wells.

2. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the base plate is composed of a silicon oxide.

3. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of titanium.

4. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of a transition metallic oxide.

5. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of a transition metal nitride.

6. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of a transition metal carbide.

7. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the polymer membrane is composed of an epoxy resin.

8. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 1 , wherein the step for peeling off the polymer membrane from the metallic membrane includes a step for blowing the polymer membrane with an air.

9. A method for manufacturing a biochip including:

preparing a substrate for the biochip comprising a base plate, a metallic membrane disposed on the base plate and having a plurality of wells reaching the base plate, a crosslinkable polymer membrane disposed on the metallic membrane, and a plurality of hydroxyl groups introduced on a surface of the base plate exposed from the plurality of wells;

bonding a plurality of probe biomolecules including protected amino groups to the plurality of hydroxyl groups; and

soaking the base plate, the metallic membrane and the polymer membrane in an alkaline solution to deprotect amino groups included in the plurality of probe biomolecules and peel off the polymer membrane from the metallic membrane after the probe biomolecules are introduced on the base plate,

wherein the crosslinkable polymer membrane protects the metallic membrane while the probe biomolecules are introduced on the plate exposed from the plurality of wells.

10. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 9 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of titanium.

11. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 9 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of a transition metallic oxide.

12. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 9 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of a transition metal nitride.

13. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 9 , wherein the metallic membrane is composed of transition metal carbide.

14. The method for manufacturing the biochip of claim 9 , wherein the polymer membrane is composed of an epoxy resin.
