Abstract

Well-known cleanroom microfabrication technologies have been used to etch an aperture in silicon, pattern a capacitance reducing SU-8 layer and passivate the surface with polytetrafluoroethylene to form an integrated support to study specific ion channel proteins. The silicon support has demonstrated successful lipid bilayer sealing measurements with repeatable seal resistances in the gigaohm range. Characteristic measurements of OmpF porin ion channel proteins have been made.
