| Abstract | We present a low cost nanofabrication method to fabricate high-aspect-ratio (HAR) polymer nanochannels using a novel silicon nanoimprint mold fabrication technique and a solvent-assisted sealing method. These nanofluidic channels are being developed for single biomolecule detection. The silicon nanoimprint mold fabrication process is based on the combination of anisotropic etching of silicon by potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution and the local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) process. The resulting high-aspect-ratio silicon mold has smooth sidewalls owing to the anisotropic KOH etching process along the silicon crystalline geometry as well as the LOCOS process. The nanostructures in the nanoimprint molds that form the nanochannels can be easily controlled by the initial micropattern sizes defined using conventional UV lithography and the oxidation time, making this technique a practical solution for low cost and high-throughput HAR silicon nanoimprint mold fabrication. Nanoimprint molds having aspect ratios of more than 1:5.5 (width: 200 nm, height: 1.1 μm, length: 1 cm) were successfully fabricated. Nanoimprinting technique was used to create poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanotrenches out of this nanoimprint mold. A novel solvent-assisted sealing technique was developed in order to seal the HAR PMMA nanotrenches. This technique enables the generation of nanochannels with various nanoscale dimensions without the need for complicated and expensive nanolithography tools. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
