technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biochemical detection microfluidic chips. Background technique [0002] The digital microfluidic chip uses dielectric wetting technology to manipulate and control micro-droplets, realizing the detection function of large-scale equipment in traditional laboratories. Because of its high throughput, low fluid consumption, and rapid detection capabilities, it has broad development prospects in the field of medical testing. However, the current method of preparing digital microfluidic chips is mainly through photolithography on conductive glass, or magnetron detection on the substrate to form a dense microelectrode array, and then spin-coat a dielectric layer on this basis. The preparation method is complicated and the cost is high, and it cannot be mass-produced on a large scale, and it is difficult to be used for large-scale biochemical detection in the future. [0003] Printed circuit board (PCB) is a very mature c...
