Description

Sample detection device and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to biochemical detection devices, and more particularly, to a sample detection device with a flow channel and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background
In the field of in-vitro diagnostics (IVD), real-time detection using bioluminescent signals is a very common technique. Currently mainstream detection technologies, such as immunodetection technologies, molecular (nucleic acid) detection technologies (e.g., PCR), and genetic sequencing technologies, require real-time quantitative detection, reading, and analysis by means of bioluminescent signals.
Taking the field of immunodetection as an example, the immunofluorescence analysis technology has become a common rapid analysis technology in the current biomedical inspection, and has wide application prospect in the fields of microorganism, virus antigen or antibody detection, hormone detection, tumor marker detection and drug (including heroin, morphine, ecstasy, ketamine and the like) detection. In immunofluorescence analysis, substances of immunoreaction are generally required to be subjected to fluorescence labeling, the fluorescence intensity characterizes the strength of specific immunoreaction, and information such as the concentration of an object to be detected can be obtained by detecting the fluorescence intensity. In the field of molecular detection, the emergence of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology greatly simplifies the quantitative detection process and truly realizes the absolute quantification of nucleic acid. The fluorescent quantitative PCR technology has been widely applied in the fields of nucleic acid quantitative analysis, gene expression difference analysis, SNP detection, pathogen detection and the like.
Most of traditional fluorescence detection and analysis products need an external optical detection element (such as a CMOS, a CCD or a PMT, etc.) and a customized optical path system to amplify, read and analyze a fluorescence signal, so that the volume of a detection instrument is additionally increased, the instrument cost is increased, and the time required by detection is increased, so that the requirements of partial medical scenes, especially basic medical scenes on portability, rapidness and low-cost detection cannot be met. In order to achieve miniaturization of products, the commonly adopted means is to simplify the external optical path, shorten the liquid path or reduce the volume of fluid. These measures can certainly reduce the volume of the instrument to some extent, but have limited effectiveness.
In order to further improve the integration level, Microfluidics (Microfluidics) technology is adopted in the prior art, which can manipulate fluid in sub-millimeter and sub-micron scale space, so as to shrink the basic functions of laboratories of fluid, biology, chemistry, etc. to a chip (such as a CMOS image sensor chip) of several square centimeters or even several square millimeters, thereby implementing a lab-on-a-chip. In this apparatus, a biological or chemical substance sample is transferred and fixed on the surface of an image sensor chip, fluorescence emitted from the sample is received and detected by the image sensor, and information related to the biological or chemical substance sample can be judged according to the intensity and color of the detected light signal.

Fig. 1a schematically shows a sample detection device unit 1 with a flow channel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along a broken line a-a 'in fig. 1a, and fig. 1c is a cross-sectional view taken along a broken line B-B' in fig. 1 a.
As shown in the figure, the sample detection device unit 1 of the present invention includes an optical signal detection device 2 and a flow channel device 3. The optical signal detection device 2 may employ a CMOS image sensor chip. As shown in the drawing, the optical signal detection device 2 in this embodiment includes two sets of five image sensor chip units 2-1 each connected in a row. The flow channel device 3 comprises a shell 3-1, the shell 3-1 is arranged on the upper surface of the optical signal detection device 2, the shell 3-1 is tightly fit with the upper surface of the optical signal detection device 2 at the position of a side wall 3-5 of the shell, and the side wall 3-5 is continuous, so that a cavity is defined as the flow channel 3-2. The housings 3-1 at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the flow channel 3-2 are respectively provided with a through hole as a sample inflow port 3-3 and a sample outflow port 3-4.
As shown in FIGS. 1a and 1c, the sample-detecting device unit 1 has two independent flow paths 3-2 and corresponding sample-inflow ports 3-3 and sample-outflow ports 3-4. Each individual flow channel 3-2 covers and corresponds to a group of five image sensor chip units 2-1 connected in a row.
As shown, the width of the flow channel 3-2 should be the same as or slightly larger than the width of the image sensor chip unit 2-1, and the length of the flow channel 3-2 is about the length of five image sensor chip units 2-1 or slightly larger, so that the flow channel 3-2 can cover the five image sensor chip units 2-1 corresponding to the flow channel 3-2. The flow channel 3-2 is formed to have a shape gradually narrowed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, which is advantageous in that the liquid sample introduced into the flow channel 3-2 from the sample inflow port 3-3 can reach all the surfaces of the five image sensor chip units 2-1 covered by the flow channel 3-2 and can completely flow out from the sample outflow port 3-4 without remaining in the flow channel, although it is impossible to use the liquid sample because a part of the surfaces of the image sensor chip units 2-1 at both ends of the flow channel 3-2 are covered by the side walls 3-5. Of course, the flow channel 3-2 may also be formed in other suitable shapes to achieve the same effect.
The upper surface of the image sensor chip unit 2-1 is typically subjected to a biological or chemical treatment to adsorb the sample flowing across the surface for image detection and analysis.
FIGS. 2a to 2c are top plan views of different embodiments of the sample detection device unit 1 according to the present invention.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2a, ten image sensor chip units 2-1 are included, and the shape of the flow channel 3-2 is schematically shown, which has a width slightly larger than the width of two chip units 2-1, a length of about five chip units 2-1, and two ends gradually narrowed to the sample inlet 3-3 and the sample outlet 3-4, so as to facilitate the flow of the sample liquid into the flow channel, to the surface of the five chip units 2-1 covered by the flow channel, and to allow the whole flow to exit without residue. FIG. 2b shows the embodiment of FIG. 1a, wherein the sample detection device unit 1 comprises two independent flow channels 3-2, each flow channel covering five image sensor chip units 2-1. Fig. 2c shows a further embodiment of the present invention, wherein the sample detection device unit 1 comprises five mutually independent flow channels 3-2, each flow channel covering two image sensor chip units 2-1.
Although the sample detection device unit 1 in the above embodiment includes 2 to 5 different flow channels, and the number of the chip units covered by each flow channel is the same, the sample detection device unit 1 of the present invention can be made to include more flow channels, for example, 10 flow channels, and each flow channel can be made to cover different number of chip units, for example, the number can be 1 to 100.

Step 1, preparing a CMOS image sensor wafer 4, which includes a plurality of CMOS image sensor chip units 2-1, and an optical signal to be detected is incident to each chip unit 2-1 from the upper surface.
And 2, preparing a disc 5 which has an upper surface, a lower surface and a certain thickness, wherein the diameter of the disc is the same as that of the CMOS image sensor wafer 4. The disc 5 is processed to form a plurality of grooves 5-1 of a predetermined shape at predetermined positions of the lower surface thereof by etching or molding to form the flow channels 3-2. In the embodiment, the grooves are long strips, adjacent grooves are separated, and each groove is provided with a circle of continuous groove side walls 5-3. The number of grooves may be 5 to 500 and the depth may be 5 to 500. mu.m. And (3) punching holes at two ends of each groove in the length direction to respectively form a through hole 5-2, wherein the diameter of each through hole can be 0.2mm to 1 mm. The number of the through holes 5-2 is 10-1000, i.e., twice the number of the grooves, corresponding to the number of the grooves 5-1. The through-hole 5-2 serves as a sample inflow port 3-3 and a sample outflow port 3-4. The disc 5 may be made of glass, plastic, silicon material, etc.
And 3, attaching the upper surface of the wafer 4 and the lower surface of the disc 5 together to form a combined body, for example, a laser bonding or anodic bonding mode can be adopted, so that the grooves 5-1 are hermetically attached to the upper surface of the wafer 4 at the groove side walls 5-3, and each groove covers a predetermined number of chip units 2-1, for example, 1 to 100.
The thus formed combination of the image sensor wafer and the disk is packaged and cut to produce a plurality of sample detection device units similar to those shown in fig. 1, which will be described later with reference to fig. 5.
FIG. 4a schematically shows another embodiment of the method for manufacturing a sample detection device according to the present invention, and FIG. 4b schematically shows a manufacturing flow of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4a in a partial cross-sectional view, which will be described below with reference to the two drawings.
Step 1, preparing a CMOS image sensor wafer 4, which includes a plurality of mutually independent CMOS image sensor chip units 2-1 fabricated in the same substrate material, and an optical signal to be detected is incident to each chip unit 2-1 from the upper surface.
And 2, preparing a disc 6 with the same diameter as the image sensor wafer 4, wherein the disc 6 is provided with an upper surface and a lower surface, and a plurality of groups of through holes 6-1 are formed at preset positions on the disc 6, and each group of through holes comprises at least two through holes separated from each other. The number of vias may be 10-1000. The disc 5 may be made of glass, plastic, silicon, etc. The through-hole 6-1 serves as a sample inflow port 3-3 and a sample outflow port 3-4.
And 3, preparing a bonding layer 7 with the same diameter as the image sensor wafer, wherein the bonding layer has a certain thickness, a plurality of through flow passage holes 7-1 with preset shapes are formed at preset positions, and each flow passage hole 7-1 is provided with a circle of continuous side walls 7-2. The bonding layer may have a thickness of 5 to 500 μm, and the number of the flow channel holes may be 5 to 500. The bonding layer 7 may be made of a polymer material film, for example, Polyimide (Polyimide), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), Acrylate (Acrylate), Polyester (Polyester), or Resin material (Resin). The flow channel hole 7-1 forms a flow channel 3-2.
And 4, clamping the bonding layer 7 between the upper surface of the image sensor wafer 4 and the lower surface of the disc 6, for example, by using a hot pressing process, and integrating the three in a pressing manner, so that each group of through holes 6-1 on the disc 6 is located in one flow channel hole 7-1, at least one through hole 6-1 is arranged at any end of the flow channel hole 7-1 in the length direction, each flow channel hole 7-1 contains at least one image sensor chip unit 2-1, and the disc 6 is hermetically bonded with the upper surface of the image sensor wafer 4 through the bonding layer 7, so as to form a combined body.
The joined body produced through the above steps needs to be packaged and cut to form the sample detection device unit 1 of the present invention. The packaging step is explained below with reference to fig. 5.
It should be noted that the fabrication method of the present invention basically adopts the conventional wafer packaging and dicing process. In the conventional wafer packaging and cutting step, a glass disc is adhered on the surface of the wafer in advance to serve as a support so as to prevent the wafer from cracking in the process. In the manufacturing method, a disc is attached to the surface of the wafer for manufacturing the runner device, the glass disc which needs to be bonded originally is replaced, and the wafer of the image sensor is supported in the packaging and cutting steps. However, since the disk used in the present invention has through holes, the surface of the disk needs to be temporarily sealed by a protective film in the packaging and cutting steps to prevent impurities from entering the flow channel from the through holes and damaging the surface of the image sensor chip.
FIGS. 5a and 5b schematically illustrate, in partial cross-sectional views, the steps of packaging and cutting in accordance with one embodiment of the method of manufacturing a sample testing device of the present invention, and the packaging step in accordance with one embodiment of the method of manufacturing the present invention is described below with reference to FIG. 5 a.
Step 1, preparing a combined body which is manufactured according to the flow shown in fig. 3b or fig. 4 b.
And 2, sticking a protective film on the upper surface of the disc 5 or 6 to prevent impurities from entering the flow channel through the through hole on the disc to form pollution. The combined body is turned over so that the back surface of the image sensor wafer 4 faces upward, and a conventional wafer thinning and grinding process is performed. In one embodiment, the thinned image sensor wafer 4 has a thickness of 100-300 μm.
And 3, firstly, coating photoresist on the surface of the thinned wafer, wherein the thickness of the photoresist layer can be about 1-2 μm. The exposure is then carried out with ultraviolet light, and the exposure time may vary from a few milliseconds to a few seconds. And then developing with a developing solution, wherein the developing solution generally uses a 2.38% TMAH solution, and the developing time is 60-120 seconds. This forms the photoresist layer into a predetermined pattern.
And 4, removing the protective film on the surface of the disc, and etching the surface of the wafer exposed after the photoresist layer is patterned. The etching material may be a mixed gas of a halide gas, oxygen, argon, or the like.
And 5, sticking a protective film on the surface of the disc again, and then removing the photoresist on the surface of the wafer. One of the photoresist removing methods is to burn with high-temperature oxygen and then remove the carbide residue formed by burning the photoresist with a cleaning solution. Another photoresist removing method is to soak the combined body in chemicals, dissolve the photoresist organic matter and remove it. Thus, the wafer surface is formed with a predetermined pattern.
And 6, coating photoresist on the surface of the wafer again, exposing by using ultraviolet rays, and developing by using a developing solution to form a predetermined pattern on the photoresist layer, which can be referred to as step 3.
And 7, removing the protective film on the surface of the disc, further etching the surface of the wafer exposed after the photoresist layer is patterned, and exposing the wiring metal of the chip, which can be referred to as the step 4.
And 8, attaching a protective film on the surface of the disc, and then removing the photoresist on the surface of the wafer. Reference may be made specifically to step 5.
And 9, removing the protective film, and depositing an insulating layer on the patterned wafer surface, wherein the insulating layer is made of an inorganic material such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride, and the process method can be chemical vapor deposition, for example. As the insulating layer material, an organic compound material may be used as needed.
And step 10, coating photoresist on the surface of the wafer again, exposing and developing, and etching the insulating layer formed before to expose the wiring metal of the chip. The etching gas differs depending on the material of the insulating layer, and for example, if the insulating layer is SiO2 which is inorganic, the etching gas may be CH2Cl2 or a mixed gas of CHCl3 gas and oxygen gas.
