The electrochemical sensors with 3-D structure of electrodes
Štekovič, Michal ; Hrdý, Radim (referee) ; Adámek, Martin (advisor)
Miniature electrochemical sensors can be produced by thick-film technology. The optimal properties of thick-film electrode system, the production technology optimization of thick-film sensors and the adjustment of optimal technological properties are main problems of sensor design. An area of working electrode and an electrode topology design is the important parts in design of electrode system optimization. The rules for optimization of electrode systems in classical electrochemistry exist. The design of standard thick-film electrode construction is limited (2-D construction, substrate dimensions, resolution, paste parameters …). Therefore rules for classical electrode systems cannot be used fully in this case and larger electrode area can be making by 3D structure only. One of resolutions is unconventional method. The increase of working electrode surface by unconventional method – ball and wire bonding is discussed in this work.

Nanostructured sensors for detection of organic compounds
Šťávová, Karolína ; Fohlerová, Zdenka (referee) ; Hrdý, Radim (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the fabrication of sensitive layers composed of an array of gold nanorods and their modifications. Firstly, a nanoporous mask is made from a layer of aluminum using a method called anodic oxidation. Afterwards electrochemical deposition of gold and polypyrrole or gold and mercury is carried out into the mask. The sensitive layer is characterized by the scanning electron microscopy and other methods for elemental analysis. A sensor with this type of sensitive layer can be used for the detection of various organic compounds.

Impact of input parameters variation on fabrication of nanoporous alumina
Hriczo, Filip ; Macháčková, Marina (referee) ; Hrdý, Radim (advisor)
This thesis examines and tests acids and conditions, which make the production of nanoporous ceramic at the thin aluminium layer the most effective and provide the highest quality. This paper describes the production of nanoporous structures with pore size 15-400 nm, depending on the electrolyte. Creating a regular hexagonal structure by electrochemical oxidation is dependent on many parameters that affect the regularity of structure and parameters of the ceramics produced. They were investigated primarily by changes in temperature and input voltage. All results were examined by SEM analysis.

Vírostko, Ján ; Švarc, Vojtěch (referee) ; Hrdý, Radim (advisor)
Táto bakalárska práca sa zameriava na návrh a výrobu mikrofluidej platformy určenej pre lýzu buniek a ich následnú analýzu. Táto platforma by mala byť schopná efektívne mechanicky rezať bunky v preparátoch červených krviniek a následne ich analyzovať pomocou dvojelektródového elektrochemického systému. Teoretická časť tejto práce je zameraná na technológiu laboratória na čipe a používané komponenty v tejto technológií, ako napríklad mikrofluidné separátory, mixéry, komory určené na lýzu alebo mikroreaktory, ich aplikáciu a na koniec ich výrobu v čistých priestoroch. Taktiež je časť venovaná stručnej rozprave o fyzike prúdenia tekutín v mikroskopických kanáloch. Praktická časť tejto práce sa skladá z návrhu, výroby v čistých priestoroch a zapúzdrenia troch typov spomínanej platformy pomocou polymeru Parylene C.

Microelectromechanical through-silicon vias
Dulák, Radovan ; Hrdý, Radim (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
Through-hole silicon vias are key technology enabling 3D system integration and thus creating compact devices. These vertical microstructures interconnect multiple layers and are also used in integrated circuits and MEMS devices. This bachelor‘s thesis focuses on the possibility of preparing these microjunctions by wet anisotropic etching and dry anisotropic etching using the deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process for use in MEMS. The work shows preparation, etching, plating and galvanic filling of these structures. Using optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, experimental tests and subsequent optimization were performed and evaluated to create a hole with a minimum size of approximately 1 m using a wet etching process and 16 m by a dry etching process. The highest achieved aspect ratio on a wafer was 15:1. In addition, the created holes were plated, galvanically filled with conductive material and electrically tested and measured.

Optimization of deep reactive ion etching process
Houška, David ; Hrdý, Radim (referee) ; Prášek, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with optimization of cryogenic and Bosch deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) processes. The thesis describes characterization of silicon etching methods, the principle of DRIE and the influence of individual parameters on the resulting etch profile. Based on the analysis of fabricated samples using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), both processes were optimized to create narrow microstructures with diameters ranging from 1 to 16 µm with the highest achieved depth-to-width ratio of 28:1 on a silicon substrate. Furthermore, surface roughness was analyzed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the presence of fluorine residues by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in structures etched by both processes.
