Abstract
An optically-induced dielectrophoresis chip including a substrate, a first electrode layer disposed on the substrate, and an interface modification layer disposed on the first electrode layer. A photo-conductive layer is disposed on the interface modification layer and includes an optical absorbent polymeric material. A barrier layer is disposed on the photo-conductive layer, and a compartment forming layer is disposed on the barrier layer defining a compartment. A second electrode layer covers the compartment forming layer.
