Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are a microchip provided with a titanium oxide film between a glass substrate and a metal thin film; and a method for forming the metal thin film and the titanium oxide film on the glass substrate of the microchip. The microchip has a second microchip substrate that has the metal thin film inside a channel, and the titanium oxide film, which has a low extinction coefficient, is provided as a buffer layer between the substrate and the metal thin film such as a gold film.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A microchip comprising: a substrate made of glass on which metal thin film is formed; a channel formed in a space including the metal thin film; and a titanium oxide film provided between the substrate and the metal thin film, the titanium oxide film having a rutile type structure and an anatase type structure being mixed; the titanium oxide film contacting the substrate on one face of the titanium oxide film, and contacting the metal thin film with the other face of the titanium oxide film, and the titanium oxide film being bound to a surface of the substrate made of glass such that titanium ions of the titanium oxide film are directly covalent-bound to oxygen radicals cleaved and exposed from the surface of the substrate made of glass by UV excitation. 2. The microchip according to claim 1 , wherein the metal thin film is composed of any of gold (Au), platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), or palladium-platinum alloy (Pd—Pt alloy).
