    摘要: A method and system for locally connecting microstructures and devices formed thereby are provided wherein localized solder-bonding creates bonds between pairs of microstructures found on miniature flexible cables and silicon microsystem platforms. Multi-lead contact to the pads are detected automatically, triggering an embedded heater or heaters to initiate solder melting. This approach enables delicate microstructures to be connected and disconnected from microsystem platforms in the field, and is implemented with a process that is compatible with monolithic integration of circuits.

    摘要: The invention is a micromachined coupler for coupling a capillary having a first size to an orifice having a shape and a second size. The coupler has a body which has a shape conforming the shape of the cavity into which the body must fit. A through hole is defined through the body. The through hole has a size conforming to the first size of the capillary. The capillary is disposable into the through hole so that the capillary is communicated to the orifice without the first and second sizes necessarily being the same. The cavity and the body have conforming slanting surfaces, and in particular the cavity and the body define truncated pyramidal shapes. The cavity and the body each have a truncated square pyramidal shape, a truncated triangular pyramidal shape, or a truncated conical shape. The micromachined coupler may further include a tubing stopper defined in the through hole and/or a shoulder defined on a surface of the coupler for bonding to the substrate outside of the cavity. Typically the size of the orifice is different than the size of the capillary. The invention is also characterized as a method of fabricating a micromachined coupler either by micromaching or micromolding.

    摘要: The present invention provides microelectrode array stabilizing devices and associated methods. A microelectrode array stabilizing device includes a first microelectrode array substrate having a plurality of first microelectrodes configured to penetrate tissue. A plurality of first interlocking structures are coupled to the first microelectrode array substrate, with each of the plurality of first interlocking structures including a first interlocking mechanism at a distal end. The device may further include a second microelectrode array substrate which optionally has a plurality of second microelectrodes configured to penetrate tissue. A plurality of second interlocking structures are coupled to the second microelectrode array substrate, each of the plurality of second interlocking structures including a second interlocking mechanism at a distal end. The second interlocking mechanism is complimentary to the first interlocking mechanism. The first microelectrode array and the second microelectrode array are configured to self-align and couple together with the first interlocking mechanism secured to the second interlocking mechanism.

    摘要: An assembly of the present invention has a substrate and a first MEMS device adapted to be electrically and mechanically connected to the substrate. A first set of MEMS/substrate fluid transfer ports on the first MEMS device and on the substrate are adapted to mate with one another when the first MEMS device and substrate are connected to permit the transfer of fluid between the first MEMS device and the substrate.

    摘要: A process for fabricating mechanically interconnected, released, electrically isolated metal microstructures, and circuit components and actuators produced by the process. A dielectric stack on a substrate is patterned and etched to produce trenches in which a metal such as tungsten is deposited. The dielectric is removed from selected regions of the metal to expose metal beams, and to form mechanically interconnecting, electrically insulating hinges supporting the beams. The beams and hinges are then released for relative motion. Electrical potentials may be established between adjacent beams to produce controlled motion.
