Abstract
In an example implementation, a substance detection device includes a chamber with chamber walls, a chamber top, and a chamber bottom. A substrate comprises imprinted nanostructures positioned within the chamber, and the substrate is coupled to the chamber walls to form the chamber bottom. An inert gas is sealed within the chamber.
Claims12
A substance detection device comprising:
- a chamber with chamber walls, a chamber top, and a chamber bottom;
- a substrate coupled to the chamber walls to form the chamber bottom, the substrate comprising imprinted nanostructures positioned within the chamber;
- a removable total seal to cover an entire outer surface of the chamber, including the chamber top and the chamber walls;
- and,
- an inert gas sealed within the chamber by the removable total seal.
2 more elements
A method of making a substance detection device comprising:
- imprinting nanostructures onto a substrate;
- enclosing the nanostructures within a chamber;
- introducing an inert gas into the chamber;
- and
- sealing the chamber to prevent the inert gas from escaping the chamber by applying a total seal to an outside surface of the chamber, the outside surface of the chamber comprising a top of the chamber, openings formed in the top of the chamber, chamber walls, and coupling portions that couple the chamber walls to the substrate.
2 more elements
A substance detection device comprising:
- nanostructures imprinted onto a substrate and positioned within a chamber;
- and
- inert gas sealed within the chamber by a removable total seal that covers openings in the chamber and an entire outside surface of the chamber.
