The present invention relates to a hydrophilic surface structure of the non-hydrophilic substrate and the manufacturing method for using the same. The hydrophilic substrate surface structure is fabricated by forming an amphiphilic polymer layer, a cross-linked stacking layer, and a hydrophilic layer in sequence on the surface of a non-hydrophilic substrate. For example, the hydrophobic surface of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) can be made from hydrophobic to hydrophilic and the hydrophilicity can be retained for a long period of time and resist protein adsorption. The hydrophilic thin films give long term stability to the PDMS surface by resisting hydrophobicity recovery, which is the major problem with PDMS. The disclosed method can further be used in the immobilization of protein and other molecules. This method can also be used for modifying other substrates which suffer problems of surface instability.

The n⁺-GaAs layer 8 of the GaAs single crystal 10 is formed by epitaxial growth, followed by epitaxially growing the Si-layer 11 in the same epitaxial growth furnace, and then the aluminum electrode 12 is formed on the Si-layer 11 as an ohmic electrode. The Si-layer 11 can suppress the formation of a surface defect level on the surface of the n⁺-GaAs layer 8 and can effectively prevent the formation of an unnecessary potential barrier. Since the Si-layer 11 has a smooth surface and is excellent in chemical stability, a good ohmic electrode can be obtained by forming the electrode 12 using aluminum or the like has a suitable work function to the Si-layer 11.
