Paper Abstract

We report the generation of sub-surface nanouidic channels from single crystal diamond. To make the channels, we used a combination of ion-beam induced damage and annealing to create a buried, etchable graphitic layer in the diamond. Either laser or focussed ion-beam milling was then used to connect to that layer, and subsequent electro-chemical etching used to remove the graphitic material. The channels had dimensions 100-200 nm thick, 100 μm wide and 300 μm long, which have a total volume around 3 pL; and were around 3 μm below the diamond surface.
