    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch using a thermoresponsive polymer. SOLUTION: A switch structure 100 or a structure of the same kind such as a valve, motor, or optical switch, may be constructed based on the thermoresponsive polymer 112. At a first temperature the thermoresponsive polymer 112 may be in a first volume state, and at a second temperature the thermoresponsive polymer 112 may be in a second volume state. The change in volume of the thermoresponsive polymer 112 may be operative to push or pull the mechanical structures of the switch, valve, motor, optical switch, and so on, to effectuate operation of the structures.

    Abstract: A microfabricated device is fabricated by depositing a first metal layer on a substrate to provide a first electrode of an electrostatic actuator, depositing a first structural polymer layer over the first metal layer, depositing a second metal layer over said first structural polymer layer to form a second electrode of the electrostatic actuator, depositing an insulating layer over said first structural polymer layer, planarizing the insulating layer, etching the first structural polymer layer through the insulating layer and the second metal layer to undercut the second metal layer, providing additional pre-formed structural polymer layers, at least one of which has been previously patterned, and finally bonding the additional structural layers in the form of a stack over the planarized second insulating layer to one or more microfluidic channels. The technique can also be used to make cross over channels in devices without electrostatic actuators, in which case the metal layers can be omitted.
