Abstract
Passive shutters for buried-channel chemical delivery probes have been developed to limit diffusion from the probe channel into the external environment. Experiments show the addition of shutters decreases diffusion by a factor of approximately 20. The shutters are fully compatible with the usual probe process and require no additional masks
