SU-8 Based Glass Microfluidic Device Coated with Deposited Nano-Layer for Future Fabrication of Nanofluidic Microelectromechanical Systems

Subhadeep Mukhopadhyay

Abstract


Two SU-8 based glass microfluidic devices are fabricated by maskless lithography and laboratory-made clamping. The inner walls of one device are coated with nano-layer of diamond like carbon (DLC) using the plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) system. The other device is remained uncoated. A CMOS camera catching 25 frames per second with a corresponding time-scale resolution of 0.04 second is used to record each surface-driven microfluidic flow of dyed water. This work may be suitable as an idea to fabricate the nanofluidic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in future
