Method of manufacturing a silver dendrite platform for biomedical applications, comprising the steps of providing a silicon wafer (10) stripped of its native surface silicon oxide layer and immersing said silicon wafer in a solution of silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid. In said step of immersing the silicon wafer in the solution of silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid, the silver nitrate dissociates into NO3- anions and Ag+ cations, and said Ag+ cations then precipitate on the silicon wafer, thus resulting in the formation of multiple silver dendrites (25). The method further comprises the step of separating the silver dendrites from the silicon wafer thus obtaining a layer of isolated silver dendrites.

Abstract
Method of manufacturing a silver dendrite platform for biomedical applications, comprising the steps of providing a silicon wafer (10) stripped of its native surface silicon oxide layer and immersing said silicon wafer in a solution of silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid. In said step of immersing the silicon wafer in the solution of silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid, the silver nitrate dissociates into NO3- anions and Ag+ cations, and said Ag+ cations then precipitate on the silicon wafer, thus resulting in the formation of multiple silver dendrites (25). The method further comprises the step of separating the silver dendrites from the silicon wafer thus obtaining a layer of isolated silver dendrites.Pubblicazioni consigliate
