Diodes offering asymmetric stability during fluidic assembly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A substrate for fluidic assembly, the substrate comprising:
- a plurality of wells extending from a top surface of the substrate, wherein each of the plurality of wells is configured to accept a post enhanced diode, wherein the post enhanced diode includes a post extending from a top surface of a diode structure, wherein an orientation of a post enhanced diode where the post extends away from the substrate is a non-inverted orientation, and wherein an orientation of a post enhanced diode where the post extends toward the substrate is an inverted orientation; and
at least one groove extending into the top surface of the substrate and configured such that the post enhanced diode traversing the at least one groove in the non-inverted orientation is more mechanically stable than the post enhanced diode traversing the at least one groove in the inverted orientation.
