    Abstract: A micromachined structure for handling fluids with an applied high voltage, i.e. for electrophoresis, includes a glass or other highly insulative substrate on which are formed very small diameter capillary channels of e.g. silicon nitride. Due to the absence of a silicon substrate, this structure is highly electrically insulative. The silicon nitride channels are formed by a micro-machining and etch process, so that they are initially defined in an etched sacrificial silicon wafer by conformal coating of etched features in the silicon wafer with a silicon nitride layer, which is then patterned to define the desired channels. The silicon wafer is bonded to the glass substrate and the bulk of the silicon wafer is sacrificially etched away, leaving the desired silicon nitride channels with supporting silicon mesas. The remaining silicon nitride "shell" is bonded to the glass substrate and substantially duplicates the etched features in the original silicon wafer. The capillary channels are of a material such as low stress silicon nitride and there is no electrical shorting path to the highly insulative glass substrate.

    Abstract: The present application relates to multifunctional hierarchically microstructured surfaces and three-dimensional anchored interfacial domain structures. The multifunctional properties are extremal. In one aspect the microstructured surfaces may be super-adhesive. Examples of super-adhesive mechanisms may include gas trapping, fluid trapping, and solid wrinkle trapping. In another aspect the micro structured surfaces may be nearly adhesive-less. Examples of adhesive-less mechanisms may include inter-solid surface lubrication, energy conserving fluid flows, and super-low drag phase-phase lateral displacement. The extremal structures may be obtained by anchoring mechanisms. Examples of anchoring mechanisms may include Wenzel-Cassie formation, contact angle confusion, and capillary effects.
