Fabrication and Characterization of a New MEMS Capacitive Microphone using Perforated Diaphragm
In this paper, a novel single-chip MEMS capacitive microphone is presented. The novelties of this method relies on the moveable aluminum (Al) diaphragm positioned over the backplate electrode, where the diaphragm includes a plurality of holes to allow the air in the gap between the electrode and diaphragm to escape and thus reduce acoustical damping in the microphone. Spin-on-glass (SOG) was us...
متن کاملA Valve-less Micro Pump with Pzt Diaphragm
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new valveless pump using a PZT diaphragm to create a gas jet flow for fluidic applications. The pump was designed and simulated based on transient fluidic analysis with experimental result of PZT diaphragm so that the features of micropump are reliably predicted. The experimental results of a PMMA prototype confirmed the performance of the pump. The fabrication pr...
متن کاملA novel diaphragm micropump actuated by conjugated polymer petals: Fabrication, modeling, and experimental results
Micropumps have promising applications in biomedical devices andmicro total analysis systems. Conjugated polymer actuators provide an important potential mechanism for realizing micropumps because of their amenability to miniaturization and low actuation voltages. In this paper we present a novel, conjugated polymer petal-actuated diaphragm micropump, which is in contrast to the typical diaphra...
متن کاملFabrication of ionic-polymer-metal-composite (IPMC) micropump using a commercial Nafion
This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) membrane-shaped micro-actuator and its application to the fabrication of a micro-pump. After fabricating two 8mm×8mm IPMC membraneshaped actuators using a Nafion film, their displacements were measured. The fabricated IPMC membrane-shaped micro-actuators showed displacement of 14∼27μm at the appl...
متن کاملDevelopment of a peristaltic micropump for bio-medical applications based on mini LIPCA
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of a peristaltic micropump. The micropump is composed of two layers fabricated from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material. The first layer has a rectangular channel and two valve seals. Three rectangular mini lightweight piezo-composite actuators are integrated in the second layer, and used as actuation parts. Two lay...
