A unique, micro-miniature reaction chamber template structure is disclosed
for the fabrication of nanoscale molecular systems and devices. The
structure is composed of multiple layers of silicon (either doped or
intrinsic), Pyrex and various metals. The silicon may or may not be
totally or partially covered with silicon dioxide. The Pyrex is chosen to
be suitable for field-assisted bonding to silicon and the various metal
layers are selected for their adherence to silicon or Pyrex, as well as
their conductivity and their chemical reactivity. The basis structure may
contain a number of tubes or fluidic pipes of varying cross sections. The
structure consists of a layer of silicon bonded to a layer of Pyrex,
which is in turn bonded to another layer of silicon and therefore, there
is a composite structure which consists of a laminate of silicon glass
and silicon. The glass is extremely thin and is Pyrex having sodium ions,
which will be transported upon the application of a voltage to the
structure to cause the sodium ions to be transported, leaving the
dangling oxygen bonds in the glass or the silicon layers.
