Problems solved by technology

(Patent "A low-voltage micro-droplet control device", application number 200410057319.4) However, the micro-convex structure increases the thickness of the dielectric layer while enhancing the surface hydrophobicity, which easily offsets the effect of reducing the driving voltage
In addition, the submicron and millimeter-scale micro-convex structures are difficult to process, have poor insulation performance, and are difficult to achieve mass production

Abstract

The invention relates to a digital micro-droplet drive with deep submicron pore structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The invention is characterized in that the digital droplet drive comprises two structures of a bipolar plate and a monopolar plate. The lower polar plate of the structure of the bipolar plate is composed of an insulating substrate, a driving electrode array, a dielectric layer, a deep submicron pore structure and a hydrophobic film layer. The upper polar plate comprises an insulating base plate, a reference electrode layer, a deep submicron pore structure and a hydrophobic film layer. The upper polar plate and the lower polar plate are connected by a supporting structure. The driving electrodes are uniformly distributed on the insulating substrate in the shape of an array, the dielectric layer is coated on the driving electrode array, and the deep submicron pore structures and the hydrophobic film layers form a super-hydrophobic film layer that is coated on the dielectric layer. The structures of the lower polar plates in the monopolar plate structure and the bipolar plate structure are the same. The invention uses the deep submicron pore structures to effectively enhance the hydrophobic properties of the hydrophobic film layers, effectively reducing the thickness of the structure and reducing driving voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital micro-droplet driver with a deep submicron pore structure and a manufacturing method, belonging to the technical field of micro-electromechanical systems and micro-total analysis systems. technical background [0002] Lab-On-Chip (LOC) is a concept of biochemical analysis proposed by Manz et al. in the early 1990s. A method of completing different biological or chemical reaction processes and analyzing their products on a chip of several square centimeters. Due to the characteristics of miniaturization, automation, integration and portability, LOC has developed rapidly in recent years, showing good application prospects in biological detection and medical diagnosis. [0003] As the most critical part of the LOC, the microfluidic chip is an important part of the sample preparation, transportation, separation and other operations. The early microfluidic chip research was based on the continuous flow form of the microp...
