摘要: 为提高微阵列电极 (Microarray electrodes, MAE) 的检测效率，降低生产成本，提出了一种将数字微镜器件 (DMD) 无掩模投影光刻与电化学沉积相结合的技术。首先，利用光刻系统压电平台 (PZS) 的高分辨率运动和DMD生成图案的灵活性等优点，制备了用户可自定义的微结构阵列，接着，通过电化学沉积获得Au导电层，实现了均匀的Au微阵列电极 (Au/MAE) 的制备。然后通过循环伏安法，比较了不同结构的Au/MAE的电化学性能，获得了优化的结构参数。最后，研究了优化后的Au/MAE对于不同浓度和pH值的葡萄糖的电流响应，并通过计时电流法对Au/MAE检测葡萄糖的抗干扰能力进行了测试。电化学分析表明，这种简单的Au/MAE对葡萄糖的电化学检测具有显著的安培响应和较强的抗干扰能力，其灵敏度为101 μA·cm−2·mM−1。这种微阵列电极的制备方法，具有分辨率高、一致性高、工艺简单、成本低的优点，为生物传感阵列的制造提供了切实可行的操作方案。Abstract: In order to improve the detection efficiency of Micro Array Electrodes (MAE) and reduce the production cost, a technology combining Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) maskless projection lithography with electrochemical deposition was proposed. Firstly, a user-defined micro array was fabricated by using the advantages of lithography system such as high-resolution PZS motion and imaging flexibility of DMD. And a uniform Au microarray electrode (Au/MAE) was fabricated after obtaining an Au conducting layer by electrodeposition. Then, the electrochemical properties of Au/MAE with different structures were compared by cyclic voltammetry, and the optimized structural parameters were obtained. Finally, the current response of optimized Au/MAE to the glucose with different concentrations and pH values was studied, and the anti-interference of Au/MAE in glucose detection was tested by chronoamperometry. The electrochemical analysis shows that the simple Au/MAE has a significant amperometric response, a strong anti-interference ability and a sensitivity of 101 μA·cm−2·mM−1 in the electrochemical detection of glucose. This method has the advantages of high resolution, high consistency, simple process and low cost, which provides a feasible operation scheme for the fabrication of biosensor array.
