2001
Three micro-fabricated shell processes are developed in this work, each tailored to a specific application. The first is a two-wafer molding process used to fabricate polysilicon shell suspensions that are very light and stiff. The second is a single crystal silicon...

2001
A method for performing interventional surgery has been developed. Transvascular delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents into perivascular space is desirable for various cardiovascular treatments and applications. The dosing of perivascular space requires the perpendicular actuation of a microneedle to slide through the layers...

Four million people died in 2002 due to diabetes related conditions[1]. Diabetes is the leading cause of adult blindness, end-stage kidney disease and amputations as a result of diabetic neuropathy. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have coronary heart disease and stroke than people who do not suffer from the disease. ...

Future, portable, continuously-monitoring micro-total-analysis-systems are likely to require low-power portable microfluidic delivery systems allowing the actuation of fluids with a minimum expenditure of electrical energy. One method to accomplish this is to utilize a micro-osmotic pum...

Lateral Etching of Silicon: The Hole-in-the-Wall Fabrication Processes

2004

This project details three derivatives of a fabrication process that gives the MEMS engineer increased freedom when designing planar microfluidic systems. This new family of processes was developed to laterally etch microfluidic channels in silicon and can be used to place an orifice (the “hole-in-the-wall”) in the center of the sidewall of a channel, Fig. 1.1. This creates improved valve seat geometry and has been used to create planar silicon microvalves that seal...
