Chip-Scale Electrochemical Differentiation of SAM-Coated Gold Features Using a Probe Array
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A method for chemically differentiating the surface of a set of small, closely-spaced, lithographically-defined Au features on a die, from another set of similar features intimately inter-dispersed, is described. The key enabler of the method is a standard electronics probe array adapted to carry out electrochemistry on the features. The probe array is used first to verify the electrical integrity of features and the quality of electrical contacts by measuring electrical resistance, then, in the presence of the electrolyte, simultaneously maintain one potential on one set of Au features and another potential on the other set in order to carry out desired electrochemical reactions. The technique was demonstrated on dies bearing 40 electrically isolated Au features (based on 5 μm wide stripes) accessed via 64 contact pads each 100×100 μm2 in area. The array had 64 probes, of which 16 were maintained at a desorbing potential (−1.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl) and 48 at a stability potential (−0.3 V). The surface compositions were analyzed with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry by imaging ion fragments characteristic to the thiols forming SAMs, thereby validating the process.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
