Abstract
A particle detection device (10) included substrates (1, 4), insulating members (2, 3), supporting member (5), and electrodes (6, 7). The insulating member (2) is provided on a principal surface of the substrate (1) and has a recess. The insulating member (3) is provided so as to make contact with the insulating member (3) and the substrate (4). The substrate (4) is formed on a principal surface of the supporting member (5). The electrode (6) is formed on a surface, which is opposite to the surface where the insulating member (2) is formed, of the substrate (1). The electrode (7) is formed on the surface (5A), the side surface (5B), and the rear surface (5C) of the supporting member (5) so as to be connected to the substrate (4). Accordingly, the detection device 10 includes a gap (8) surrounded by the insulating members (2, 3). The substrate (1) is connected to the substrate (4) with the insulating members (2, 3) and the supporting member (5) (quartz). In one embodiment, the insulating member (3) consist of quantum dots. Detection of the particles is either optically or electrically.
