Variable-height microfluidic channels for accurate immobilization of C. elegans worms by using a single dry etching step

Martinus Gijs, Rongrong Xiang, Hüseyin Baris Atakan

We present an aspect ratio dependent etching (ARDE) method, utilizing the Bosch dry etching process of silicon, to create the optimal silicon master microstructures for replication of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchannels that allow immobilizing C. ele ...
