Fabrication of Aluminum Interdigitated Electrode for Biosensor Application Using Conventional Lithography

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple technique for the fabrication of interdigitated electrode (IDEs) using conventional lithography was presented. A top-down simple lithography approach was used to fabricate a set of Interdigitated electrodes were patterned with aluminum metal. Silicon dioxide serves to isolate the electrode from the substrate. A chrome mask was proposed to complete this work. In this work, the proposed method was experimentally demonstrated by fabricating the IDEs structure 4-5μm, approximately. The dimensions of structure were determined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is a simple, easy-to-use and cost effective method and does not require complicated micro-lithography process for fabricating desired microelectrode in reproducible approach.
