Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a film metal micro device on the surface of PDMS by chemical plating. The method comprises: a layer of polyacrylic acid (PAA) is selectively grafted to be formed on a designated area of the surface of PDMS through the photochemical reaction by adopting photolithographic masks; after a series of surface chemical reactions such as amination, absorption, reduction and the like, a nano-scale gold particle catalytic center required by chemical plating is formed in an area irradiated by UV light; finally, by selectively carrying out chemical plating on metal by means of nano-gold catalysis, the metal film device is formed on the surface of the PDMS irradiated by the UV light. By the method, the integrated metal film is prepared on the surface of the PDMS sheet and on the inner surface of the channel / cavity of the PDMS in order to prepare such micro devices as a micro-heater, a microelectrode, a microsensor, a micro shielding device and the like, which take the PDMS as a substrate, and to integrate circuits. The method is characterized in that the process is simple and easy to practice and clean laboratories and high-cost metal evaporation and deposition processes are unnecessary. The prepared metal device has the advantages of high accuracy and low cost.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing thin-film metal micro devices on the surface of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material by selective chemical plating technology. Background technique [0002] Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a kind of elastic silicone rubber, which has the advantages of transparency, breathability, stability, simple molding, good biocompatibility, and low price, so it is widely used in the research and development of chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical fields. Various microfluidic chips and biochips. Microfluidic chips often need to integrate metal devices with various functions such as microelectrodes, microheaters, microthermocouples, and microshields. When preparing integrated metal devices on microfluidic chips made of glass, quartz, silicon and other materials, microelectromechanical processing (MEMS) technology of vacuum sputtering deposition-lithography-wet etching is often used. However, the surface free ener...
