Abstract

The feasibility of micro total analysis systems (μTAS) on microchips based on the concept of a monolithic instrument is demonstrated. In such a device a microfluidic layer system is deposited in a backend process on a conventional CMOS integrated circuit with the aim to achieve cost and performance enhancements through integration and miniaturization. Experimental results on elementary functional components of a μTAS are presented including a narrow channel electroosmotic micropump, a micro mass flow meter using the thermal anemometric principle, a micro cytometer with integrated optical detection, and elementary structures for on-chip micro-capillary electrophoresis.
