Patterning of Biomolecules on Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited Generated Surfaces
Abstract
Micropatterned surfaces have received extensive attention for possible applications in advanced technologies including microelectronics, microfluidics, cell growth confinement and biosensor fabrication. The latter two applications exemplify the increasing coordination between materials science and biology for future generation advanced materials. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) shows great promise for strengthening this aforementioned materials science and biology intersection. PECVD provides an excellent generalized platform for the incorporation of a wealth of different biomolecules and/or biologically inspired materials by way of micropatterned structures. Micropatterned substrates with site-specific binding were developed by way of self-assembled monolayer chemistry in conjunction with thin layer organic polymer deposition via PECVD. Spatial binding of biomolecules and quantum dots to PECVD patterned substrates are demonstrated.
