Abstract
A microsieve with a very uniform pore size of 260 nm and a pore to pore spacing of 510 nm has been fabricated using multiple exposure interference lithography and (silicon) micro-machining technology.
The sieve consists of a 0.1 µm thick silicon nitride membrane perforated with sub-micron diameter pores and a macro perforated silicon support. The calculated clean water flux is at least one to two orders higher than that of conventional inorganic membranes.
