It enables not only the encapsulation to be hermetic but also the vias to be electrically-interconnected simultaneously. The mushroom structure of cap wafer makes the seal-line of solder void-free and the assembly process easier in wafer-alignment, giving room for the mismatched-volume between solder and trench. The mushroom structure is formed by SF/sub 6/-based isotropic Si etch and the solder of Sn is electroplated by thick photoresist lithography. The vias are successfully sealed with solders shaped like a dome at the top corner and electrically interconnected. A gross leak detection of pressurized dye-penetration shows that this scheme is morphologically insensitive compared with the \"face-to-face\" bonding method.","PeriodicalId":22359,"journal":{"name":"The 13th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems, 2005.

Character and graphic information are dynamically displayed by making the pin array move up and down. Shape memory alloy (SMA) micro-coil actuators contract and make the pins move up and down when the SMA actuator is heated by supplying electrical current. A magnetic material tube is attached to each pin and a permanent magnet fixes the position of the pins' up or down state. The mechanism solves problems of heat storage and electrical consumption of the SMA actuator because the current is supplied only when the pins move. A 2D tactile pin display which has a 100 (10/spl times/10) pin array has been developed and successfully operated. The tactile information is displayed sequentially every 0.3 sec and the pins are latched at 0.1 N by magnetic force. The pins are arranged at a pitch of 2.5 mm and move 2 mm up and down. A multi-step magnetic latch has been developed for a 3D expression. By using these mechanisms, several types of tactile information, e.g. 2D, 3D, dynamic motions, can be easily displayed.","PeriodicalId":22359,"journal":{"name":"The 13th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems, 2005.

We propose a novel fabrication method aligning the centers of electrodes and hydrophobic pattern simultaneously using one photomask. The proposed fabrication method offers a solid microlens by using a UV curable polymer. The focal length of the liquid microlens can be tuned to the targeted value by applying voltage to the electrodes before UV exposure solidification. Experiments showed that the tuning range of focal length by using electrowetting is 0.43 mm. It covers the initial focal length deviation 0.21 mm of the microlens. Seven samples showed an initial distribution from 1.78 to 1.58 mm in focal length. Their focal lengths are controlled by applying voltages from 1.77 to 1.82 mm. Volume contraction and following focal length change were evaluated, and optical losses are measured to be 0.92 and 0.49 dB in red and green, respectively. The measured surface roughness is 4 nm, which is applicable to optical micro-systems.","PeriodicalId":22359,"journal":{"name":"The 13th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems, 2005.

We successfully amplified the full DNA sequence of N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2) gene, cancer related gene, from the genomic DNA. NAT2 transfers the acetyl moiety to toxic compounds coming into the cell. Acetylated toxic compounds may change their 3D structure and lose toxic activities. We observed temperature difference between top and bottom of PCR mixture even by more than 7/spl deg/C when general PCR micro chamber was heated and adjusted to be a constant temperature by electric power (data not shown). This may influence bad effects on the yield and reproducibility of DNA amplification in PCR lab-on-a-chip. Cylindrical pillars expanding surface area facing to PCR mixture are thought to be helpful to get higher efficiency of heat transfer. We also made a thin film type of heater through FPC manufacturing process. That requires low cost and is applicable for mass production. Pillar-formed PCR chamber and FPC film heater showed good performance of DNA amplification, comparable to thermocycler and higher than that of nonpillar PCR chamber.","PeriodicalId":22359,"journal":{"name":"The 13th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems, 2005.
