Metal Films

Gold Coated Coverslips Our coverslips are borosilicate glass, 0.13 to 0.16 mm thick, 22 mm square (.CSS) or 15 mm round (.CSR):

Ultra Flat Gold Surfaces Features & Benefits RMS roughness approaching atomic flatness. Uncontaminated Surface Gold is protected from the atmosphere until stripped from the template, providing a pristine surface free from organics and other atmospheric contaminants. Ready to Use Chips do not require cleaning, eliminating the need for hazardous cleaning solutions or expensive cleaning equipment. Convenient Multiple chips per template make it easy to prepare fresh, clean, and ultraflat chips just seconds before your next experiment.

Platinum Thin Films | Platinized Substrates Features of Platinum Thin Films Platinum purity: 99.999% Electron-beam deposition Low deposition rate -> High quality film Pre-cleaned substrates (plasma or base bath) Titanium adhesion layer (optional) Dedicated cleanroom fabrication environment

Patterned Electrodes Patterned gold thin films on glass fabricated via e-beam metal evaporation. Titanium adhesion layer between gold and glass improves mechanical stability of gold film. Gold films exhibit high purity (99.999%) and low surface roughness (nanometer-scale roughness). These electrodes are fabricated without photoresist or organic solvents which may contaminate the surface of gold. Ideal for applications in MEMS Biosensors (bioMEMS), chemical sensor chips and microelectrodes. Features Excellent reproducibility Low surface roughness for high sensitivity and resolution High purity gold, no pre-cleaning required Transparent glass substrate enables optical analysis

Gold-Coated Chips for SPR SPRChip (full gold film) and SpotReady (patterned gold spots) are gold chips developed for applications in Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). SF-10 glass (index = 1.72) chips with dimensions 1 mm x 18mm x 18 mm, coated with gold.
