    Abstract: A method of providing a CMOS -MEMS structure is disclosed. The method comprises patterning a first top metal on a MEMS actuator substrate and a second top metal on a CMOS substrate. Each of the MEMS actuator substrate and the CMOS substrate include an oxide layer thereon. The method includes etching each of the oxide layers on the MEMS actuator substrate and the base substrate, utilizing a first bonding step to bond the first patterned top metal of the MEMS actuator substrate to the second patterned top metal of the base substrate. Finally the method includes etching an actuator layer into the MEMS actuator substrate and utilizing a second bonding step to bond the MEMS actuator substrate to a MEMS handle substrate.

    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: The present invention relates to a process for forming microstructures on a substrate. A plating surface is applied to a substrate. A first layer of photoresist is applied on top of the plating base. The first layer of photoresist is exposed to radiation in a pattern to render the first layer of photoresist dissolvable in a first pattern. The dissolvable photoresist is removed and a first layer of primary metal is electroplated in the area where the first layer of photoresist was removed. The remainder of the photoresist is then removed and a second layer of photoresist is then applied over the plating base and first layer of primary metal. The second layer of photoresist is then exposed to a second pattern of radiation to render the photoresist dissolvable and the dissolvable photoresist is removed. The second pattern is an area that surrounds the primary structure, but it does not entail the entire substrate. Rather it is an island surrounding the primary metal. The exposed surface of the secondary metal is then machined down to a desired height of the primary metal. The secondary metal is then etched away.

    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 the process, and/or forming structures or portions of structures from thin walled regions of hard-to-machine materials as opposed to wide solid regions of structural material.
