    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a microfluidic device which involves providing a substrate with a surface and writing a first flowable material on the surface of the substrate. The first flowable material is then solidified to form spacer elements, each with a top surface distal from the surface of the substrate, and a second flowable material is written on the surface of the substrate. A cover having a surface is provided and applied to the substrate, with the surface of the cover contacting the top surfaces of the spacer elements. The second flowable material is solidified to form walls, where the walls, the surface of the substrate, and the surface of the cover form flow channels of a microfluidic device. The resulting microfluidic device is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Electrochemical fabrication methods for forming single and multilayer mesoscale and microscale structures are disclosed which include the use of diamond machining (e.g. fly cutting or turning) to planarize layers. Some embodiments focus on systems of sacrificial and structural materials which are useful in Electrochemical fabrication and which can be diamond machined with minimal tool wear (e.g. Ni—P and Cu, Au and Cu, Cu and Sn, Au and Cu, Au and Sn, and Au and Sn—Pb), where the first material or materials are the structural materials and the second is the sacrificial material). Some embodiments focus on methods for reducing tool wear when using diamond machining to planarize structures being electrochemically fabricated using difficult-to-machine materials (e.g. by depositing difficult to machine material selectively and potentially with little excess plating thickness, and/or pre-machining depositions to within a small increment of desired surface level (e.g. using lapping or a rough cutting operation) and then using diamond fly cutting to complete he process, and/or forming structures or portions of structures from thin walled regions of hard-to-machine material as opposed to wide solid regions of structural material.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provide techniques for forming structures (e.g. HARMS-type structures) via an electrochemical extrusion process. Preferred embodiments perform the extrusion processes via depositions through anodeless conformable contact masks that are initially pressed against substrates that are then progressively pulled away or separated as the depositions thicken. A pattern of deposition may vary over the course of deposition by including more complex relative motion between the mask and the substrate elements. Such complex motion may include rotational components or translational motions having components that are not parallel to an axis of separation. More complex structures may be formed by combining the electrochemical extrusion process with the selective deposition, blanket deposition, planarization, etching, and multi-layer operations of a multi-layer electrochemical fabrication process.

    Abstract translation: 本发明的各种实施例提供了通过电化学挤出方法形成结构(例如HARMS型结构)的技术。 优选的实施方案通过沉积通过无阳极适应的接触掩模进行挤出过程,其最初被压在基底上,然后随着沉积增厚逐渐拉开或分离。 沉积图案可以通过在掩模和衬底元件之间包括更复杂的相对运动而在沉积过程中变化。 这种复杂运动可以包括旋转分量或具有不与分离轴平行的分量的平移运动。 可以通过将电化学挤出工艺与多层电化学制造工艺的选择性沉积,覆盖沉积,平坦化,蚀刻和多层操作组合来形成更复杂的结构。
