Abstract

A method for making an adsorption device includes: providing and etching a substrate to form a plurality of receiving grooves spaced apart from each other; forming a magnetic film in each of the plurality of receiving grooves; and forming a magnet in each of the plurality of receiving grooves. Each receiving groove includes a bottom wall and a side wall coupling the bottom wall. The magnetic film covers the bottom wall and the side wall of each of receiving groove.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for making an adsorption device, comprising:
providing a substrate and etching the substrate to form a plurality of receiving grooves spaced apart from each other, wherein each of the plurality of receiving grooves comprises a bottom wall and a side wall coupling to the bottom wall;
forming a magnetic film in each of the plurality of receiving grooves, and covering the bottom wall and the side wall of each of the plurality of receiving grooves with the magnetic film, the magnetic film being made of a magnetic material; and
forming a magnet in each of the plurality of receiving grooves, and the magnet being partially covered by the magnetic film.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: forming a protective film to cover the plurality of receiving grooves.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the protective film is made of resin.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic film is made of a ferromagnetic material or a ferrimagnetic material.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the magnetic film is made of one or more selected from a group consisted of iron, cobalt, and nickel.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is composed of magnetic powder.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: magnetizing the magnet in each of the plurality of receiving grooves; wherein the magnets facing the bottom wall have a same magnetic pole.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein magnetizing the magnet comprises:
providing a permanent magnet having a north (N) magnetic pole and a south (S) magnetic pole; and
maintaining one of the N magnetic pole or the S magnetic pole of the permanent magnet facing the magnet for a predetermined period of time.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein etching the substrate comprises etching the substrate by laser.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the substrate comprises providing an aluminum substrate.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic film is in direct contact with the bottom wall and the side wall of each of the plurality of receiving grooves.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnet comprises a bottom surface facing the bottom wall, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, and a side surface coupling between the bottom surface and the top surface; the bottom surface and the side surface are covered by the magnetic film, and the top surface is exposed from the substrate.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the bottom surface and the side surface are in direct contact with the magnetic film.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising: forming a protective film to cover the plurality of receiving grooves.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the protective film covers the top surface of the magnet in each of the plurality of receiving grooves.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the protective film is an entire and continuous layer on the substrate.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the protective film is a non-continuous layer and comprises portions spaced apart from each other, and each of the portions covers a corresponding one of the plurality of receiving grooves.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein each of the portions has an area slightly larger than the top surface of the magnet.
