More Information
Summary:A nanopore cell may include a well having a seamless porous electrode and hydrophobic sidewalls. The seamless porous electrode may be formed by depositing porous electrode material on a planar electrode support layer formed by a conductive layer island and a dielectric layer. The porous electrode material may form uniform seamless columns and may be protected during manufacturing by depositing a selectably removable protective layer thereon. The well may be formed by forming and then patterning hydrophobic cladding over the protective layer. The protective layer may be removed to expose the seamless porous electrode at the bottom of the well.
