    Abstract: A method for etching an ultra-shallow channel includes using an etch process that is selective for one material to etch a different material in order to achieve a very precise channel depth in the different material. Channels as shallow as 10 nm can be fabricated in silicon with precision of 5 nm or better using the method. Stepped channels can be fabricated where each segment is a different depth, with the segments being between 10 nm and 1000 nm in depth. The method is applied to create a fluidic channel which includes a channel substrate to which is bonded a lid substrate to confine fluids to the fluidic channels so fabricated.

    Abstract: An accelerometer. A silicon wafer is etched to form a fixed portion, a movable portion, and a resilient coupling between, the fixed and movable portions generally arranged in the plane of the wafer, the mass of the movable portion being concentrated on one side of the resilient coupling. One of the fixed and moveable portions of the silicon structure includes a first electrode. The other of the fixed and moveable portions includes a second electrode oriented parallel to the axis of acceleration, and an electrically-conductive layer electrically connected as a third electrode coplanar and mechanically coupled with the second electrode. The second and third electrodes are arranged in capacitive opposition to the first electrode, the capacitance between the first electrode and third electrode increasing as the movable portion moves in a direction along the axis of acceleration relative to the fixed portion and decreasing as the movable portion moves in an opposite direction. A resilient coupling retains the first and third electrodes in capacitive opposition to each other across a capacitance gap while allowing motion of the first electrode relative to the second and third electrodes in response to acceleration along an axis of acceleration perpendicular to the plane of the wafer, and resiliently restores the first electrode to an equilibrium position when the acceleration ceases. The second electrode is in opposition to a majority of the surface area of the first electrode when the electrodes are in the equilibrium position. Capacitance between the first and third electrodes is measured to obtain a measurement of acceleration along the axis.

    Abstract: A system (10) and method detect freefall associated with an object that is spinning or tumbling as it falls. Two tri-axis accelerometers (14, 16) provide inputs to an algorithm (28) that detects the freefall of a spinning object that would not otherwise be detected by a conventional freefall detection system, due to the centrifugal and centripetal forces being placed on the falling object as it spins. The system can be used to detect the freefall of portable devices with onboard memory or hard disk drives, allowing the devices to have time to park the read/write head and reduce the potential of losing data that can be damaged by impact. This freefall detection system may be applied to such portable devices as notebook computers, PDAs, MP3 players, digital cameras, mobile phones and even automobiles.

    Abstract: Plastic microfluidic structures having a substantially rigid diaphragm that actuates between a relaxed state wherein the diaphragm sits against the surface of a substrate and an actuated state wherein the diaphragm is moved away from the substrate. As will be seen from the following description, the microfluidic structures formed with this diaphragm provide easy to manufacture and robust systems, as well readily made components such as valves and pumps.
