Application: Glass articles including flow channels and methods of making the same (Patent ID: US20240082841A1)

The patent filed by Corning Inc. describes glass articles with a glass laminate substrate containing flow channels with a high level of surface flatness. The method involves etching the glass layers to form the flow channels and then using a second etchant to flatten the floor of each channel, ensuring that at least 80% of the floor area has a local surface flatness of less than 100 nm/mm2. The glass articles can be used in microfluidic devices, where a cover is bonded to the glass article to cover the flow channels.

The claims outline the specific features of the glass article, such as the composition of the glass laminate substrate, the dimensions of the flow channels, and the configuration of the layers. The method for manufacturing the glass article involves depositing a masking layer on the glass substrate, etching the flow channels, and using different concentrations of aqueous hydrofluoric acid for the etching process. The method also includes bonding a cover to the glass substrate using a bonding layer and electromagnetic radiation. Overall, the patent focuses on creating glass articles with precise flow channels and surface flatness for applications in microfluidic devices.
