    Abstract: An integrated device (40) forming a microfluid system includes a substrate (41) of semiconductor material and a lid element (56) forming a channel (55) filled with a liquid. A heating element (51) is carried by the substrate and faces the channel so as to heat the liquid and generate a gas bubble, when activated. The substrate (41) houses a cavity (42) arranged on the opposite side of the heating element (51; 66) with respect to the channel (55) in order to reduce thermal dispersion of the heating element (51) towards the substrate (41). The heating element includes a resistive region (45) coated, on the side facing the channel (55), by a protective region (49, 50) and, on the side facing the cavity (42), by an insulating layer (44).

    Abstract: To reduce the risk of breakage of the moving parts of an integrated microstructure during manufacture steps causing mechanical stresses to the moving parts, a temporary immobilization and support structure (20; 30; 40) is formed thereby a moving region (12, 13) of the microstructure is temporarily integral with the fixed region (10, 11). The temporary structure (20; 30; 40) is removed at the end of the assembly operations by non-mechanical removal methods. According to one solution, the temporary structure is formed by a fusible element (20) removed by melting or evaporation, by applying a sufficient quantity of energy thereto. Alternatively, a structural region (30) of polymer material is formed in the trench (15) separating the moving part from the fixed part, or an adhesive material layer (40) sensitive to ultraviolet radiation is applied.
