Abstract

Design, simulation, fabrication and measurement results of a new method to fabricate in-plane oriented micro valves with use of an-isotropic wet chemical etching techniques are reported. The method is very engaging due to the simplicity, low demands on cleanroom resources, high accurate controllability and wafer-thickness independence. Integration in micro systems is facilitated by the unique possibility to obtain in-plane working devices. Performed analytical and numerical simulations as well as measurements of a duckbill valve demonstrate the functionality.
