Reliable and low-voltage electrowetting on thin parylene films
a r t i c l e i n f o The stability of an electrowetting system is dependent upon the choice of liquids, the dielectric material and the operating voltage. Substantial progress is reported herein on use of 300 nm thick poly(α, α, α′, α′-tetrafluoro-para-xylylene) (Parylene HT) films for almost 100° of reliable electrowetting modulation at only 15 V. Not only does Parylene HT exhibit improved re...
متن کاملUltra-low voltage electrowetting using graphite surfaces.
The control of wetting behaviour underpins a variety of important applications from lubrication to microdroplet manipulation. Electrowetting is a powerful method to achieve external wetting control, by exploiting the potential-dependence of the liquid contact angle with respect to a solid substrate. Addition of a dielectric film to the surface of the substrate, which insulates the electrode fro...
متن کاملLow Voltage Electrowetting-on-Dielectric Platform using Multi-Layer Insulators.
A low voltage, two-level-metal, and multi-layer insulator electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) platform is presented. Dispensing 300pl droplets from 140nl closed on-chip reservoirs was accomplished with as little as 11.4V solely through EWD forces, and the actuation threshold voltage was 7.2V with a 1Hz voltage switching rate between electrodes. EWD devices were fabricated with a multilayer insul...

متن کاملLow voltage picoliter droplet manipulation utilizing electrowetting-on-dielectric platforms.
Picoliter droplets actuated on an electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) actuator are demonstrated. In this study, the physical scaling of electrodes for 33 μm and 21 μm EWD devices resulted in droplets of 12 pl and 5 pl being dispensed respectively in conjunction with 3 μm SU8 gaskets. The stacked multi-layer insulators in the actuators consisted of 200 nm tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) and 200 nm par...
