A new cell-selective three-dimensional microincubator based on silicon photonic crystals.

A new cell-selective three-dimensional microincubator based on silicon photonic crystals.

In this work, we show that vertical, high aspect-ratio (HAR) photonic crystals (PhCs), consisting of periodic arrays of 5 µm wide gaps with depth of 50 µm separated by 3 µm thick silicon walls, fabricated by electrochemical micromachining, can be used as three-dimensional microincubators, allowing c...
