Abstract
We developed a technique for fabrication microfluidic silicon-glass chips with a system of nanochannels connecting two microchannel using traditional optical lithography and a focused ion beam. To investigate the transport phenomena in the nanochannels we experimentally studied their ion conductivity and using optical microscopy confirmed the existence of the diffusion flow through them. The developed method allows us to create systems of nanochannels with on-purpose geometry and controlled sizes. Devices with such nanochannels can be applied in the creation of biosensor devices and for genetic studies.
