The purplish glow of energized hydrogen plasma contained within a quartz
cylinder surrounds and helps purify a silicon wafer coated with a diamond
film. The process creates a highly-stable surface suitable for binding biochemicals
such as DNA and proteins, and integrating microelectronic devices for use
as biological sensors. Professor of chemistry Robert Hamers worked in collaboration
with Lloyd Smith, also a professor of chemistry, to develop the chemistry
for the new diamond surfaces, and with Dan van der Weide, professor of electrical
and computer engineering, to achieve the electronic sensing.
