Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a microfluidic device comprising: at least one structure arranged in a pocket-defining layer defining a pocket in the pocket-defining layer; a semiconductor chip arranged in the pocket, the semiconductor chip comprising at least one electrode at the surface of the semiconductor chip; an electrical connection layer arranged above the semiconductor chip, wherein the electrical connection layer comprises electronic connections electrically connected to the at least one electrode and arranged to extend laterally in the electrical connection layer away from the semiconductor chip; at least one fluidic channel extending through the pocket-defining layer and above the semiconductor chip, the fluidic channel being arranged to be in fluidic communication with the at least one electrode.
Abstract:
A microfluidic device and method of manufacturing thereof are disclosed. In one embodiment, the microfluidic device includes a fluidic channel encapsulated in a solid container. Further, one wall of the fluidic channel is formed by an oxide. Furthermore, a surface of the solid container includes a first recess down to the oxide thereby allowing optical inspection of a fluid sample in the fluidic channel via the first recess, through the oxide.
