Abstract
A semiconductor cell culture device for three-dimensional cell culture comprises: a semiconductor material layer in which a cell culture portion of semiconductor material is defined, wherein the cell culture portion defines an area within the semiconductor material layer surrounded by semiconductor material, wherein the cell culture portion comprises a mesh structure having island structures being interconnected by bridge structures and defining through-pores between the island structures allowing for selective transport of cell constructs, cellular components, proteins or other large molecules through the semiconductor material layer and on opposite sides of the cell culture portion in the semiconductor material layer, and a supporting structure connected to the cell culture portion.
