Realized work related to Story 1 - NCD samples for bio experiments - deposition for ELISA (4 cm in diameter) - papers on NCD and Bio (group Dr. Bacakova) stainin g of talin - patent pending on selective growth of living cells PV#2008-355 (10.06.2008): Způsob přípravy uspořádaných buněčných struktur Rezek et al. Kalbacova/Kmoch Bacakova/Grausova
Realized work Story 2 - boron doped NCD samples for bio experiments A) set of 36 samples (both-side depos. on 10x10 mm 2 ) -intrinsic NCD -low/medium/high boron doping (Prof. K. Haenen) (XPS, Raman, SEM, biocompatibility) B) set of 4 samples (both-side depos. on φ~5 cm) -ELISA experiments Samples pre-cleaned, oxygen terminated and characterized, bio-tested,...... output in year 2009 and 2010...
Realized work Story 2 -nanostructured diamond films A) reactive ion plasma etching -intrinsic NCD & self assembled mask (paper submitted) -presented by O. Babchenko at SSSI conference (11/2008, Slovakia) B) preliminary work on cell growth -SAOS-2 cells (group Dr. Kalbacova) 2009) -Fluorescent staining of vinculin (confer. Hasselt 2009, Kirchberg C) geometrically defined surface morphology 2009) -size of the structures (micro-dimensions, nano?) (summer
Nanostructured diamond films (history) ICP Upgrade deep etching Reactive Ion Etching (Phantom LT) Gases: - argon, oxygen, CF4 -other gases (2009?) Etching: -silicon -silicon oxide -diamond December 2007 Clean room conditions Wafers up to 20 cm in diam. Vacuum system?! Dr. Fendrych
Nanostructured diamond films - year 2008 Metal Mask preparation Nanodiamond Thermal vapor deposition of metal (Au, Ni) metal layer Ultrasonic seeding of nanodiamond grains nanodiamond grains diamond plasma treatment diamond Ready mask: no further steps necessity metal nanoislands diamond Resistance to reactive ion etching (?) NO lithography, only self-assembling (!)
Mask preparation Observation of SEM measurements: Diamond powder grains size of grains 5 40 nm Gold size of particles 5 10 nm Nickel size of particles 15 30 nm

Closing remarks: A) Diamond technology (Dr. Kromka/Dr. Vanecek) new GAAV NCD growth -> intrinsic & boron doped layers (soon at FZU) (nano) Structuring of NCD films -> RIE (1 conf. + 1x submit. paper) established STRONG potential in the field of NCD technology B) Bio activities Dr. Bacakova (publications, conferences, coming events) Dr. Kalbacova (indirect co-operation, new events on structured samples) C) FZU infrastructure Purkyne Fellowship (2009-2013) Dr. Rezek (KAN project, 1x patent pending) Dr. Smrcka (KAN project) & Institutional Research Plan
Closing remarks: A) Coming activities defined experiments with Dr. Bacakova material, personnel (student), conferences new projects (GACR, GAAV, EU) B) requirements of other groups opened discussion... Thank for your attention and patience!...
