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, a crystalline structure of the titanium oxide film being defined by a location of oxygen existing on a surface of the substrate. 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).
