Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the fields of micro-nano processing, advanced packaging and biomedical treatment, and in particular to a nanopore sequencing chip, a preparation method thereof and a packaging structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The nanopore sequencing technology has the characteristics of long read length, low cost, high throughput and high integration, and has a wide application in the biological field of molecular detection and gene sequencing.
[0003] The basic working principle of the nanopore sequencing technology is that in a cavity filled with electrolyte, an insulating impermeable film with nanoscale pores divides the cavity into two small chambers. When a voltage is applied to the electrolyte chamber, ions or other charged molecular substances can pass through the small pores to form a stable detectable ion current. When the molecules to be detected pass through the nanometer pore driven by the electric field force, it will cause the timing change of the ion current signal, so that the information of the analyte, including the sequence information of the nucleic acid molecule, can be analyzed from the continuous change of the ion current signal.
[0004] The nanopore sequencing chip includes a photoresist layer and a pore array arranged on the photoresist layer. Each individual pore in the pore array is an independent sequencing unit. Therefore, the number and stability of the thin film formed in the pore array on a single chip are crucial to the throughput and quality of the detection. At the same time, the cost of the nanopore sequencing chip is directly related to the end price of the nanopore sequencing application, and thus affects the market promotion of the product. The current nanopore sequencing chip is basically a double-layer structure, such as some structures disclosed by Oxford Nanopore Technologies in patent CN115803624A. These structures have complex shapes, high processing costs and great difficulty. In addition, due to the small pore size and the hydrophobicity of the photoresist layer, these characteristics cause the hydrophobicity of the pore bottom, and it is difficult for the ion solution to infiltrate the pore bottom and conduct with the electrode, resulting in poor pore infiltration and low conduction rate, thereby affecting the film formation rate and the stability of the film after film formation.

[0164] The double-layer insulating layer structure is cleaned with pure water and dried, placed on the surface of the tray of the spin coater, and the opposite sides of the double-layer insulating layer structure are tightly attached to the surface of the tray. The spin coater drives the double-layer insulating layer structure to rotate at a speed of 100r / s, and then the surface is washed with a high-pressure water gun until only the hydrophilic modification solution 5 remains at the bottom of the hole 201; then the water on the surface is blown dry with an air gun, so that the moisture on the surface of the second insulating layer 2 is removed and the hole 201 remains wet; the angle between the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun and the surface is 15°; the angle between the nozzle of the air gun and the surface is maintained at 60°.

Then, the water on the surface is blown dry with an air gun, so that the moisture on the surface of the second insulating layer is removed and the hole 201 remains wet. The angle between the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun and the surface is 30 DEG, and the angle between the nozzle of the air gun and the surface is maintained at 30 DEG.

The volume of the polysilicon compound needs to be adjusted according to the changes in the diameter, height and number of the holes. If the polysilicon compound exceeds the range, it will easily infiltrate the entire hole 201, so that the hydrophilic modified region 202 at the bottom of the hole 201 and the electrode 4 are covered with the polysilicon compound, resulting in the inability of the hole 201 to conduct during biochemical experiments.
[0196] S5, after the polysilicon compound covers the surface of the second insulating layer 2 and the top of the hole 201, it is heated in a ventilated environment, modified at a temperature of 150℃ for 30min, a hydrophobic modification zone is formed on the top of the hole 201, and a nanopore sequencing chip is obtained.

Then the surface of the hole sequence structure is washed with a high-pressure water gun until the hydrophilic modification solution on the upper part of the hole and the surface of the second insulating layer is washed clean and the hydrophilic modification solution remains at the bottom of the hole. Then the water on the surface of the hole sequence structure is blown dry with an air gun, so that the water on the surface of the second insulating layer is removed and the hole remains in a wet state.
