This paper reports microfabricated silicon-glass separation columns for high-speed micro gas chromatography (p,G G) systems. The microfabricated columns are integrated with resistive heaters and temperatures sensors and capacitive pressure sensors to allow temperature and pressure programming and flow control and to achieve reproducible separations in a mu GC system. These 25-cm-long, 150-mu m-wide, and 250-mu m-deep columns are fabricated on a 1.2-cm square die using a silicon-on-glass dissolved wafer process. Programmed with temperature ramps of 10 degrees C/s, the low-mass columns separate eleven-component gaseous mixtures in less than 10 s, including alkanes from C-5 to C-16 and simulants for C-4, TNT, sarin, and mustard gas. When used in arrayed architectures, these MEMS columns should allow high-speed analysis without sacrificing separation efficiency.
