Advanced sacrificial poly-Si technology for fluidic systems

Sacrificial poly-Si etching can be used to create thin cavities and channels. By combining it with anisotropic KOH etching of a mono-Si substrate, important components for fluidic systems, such as V-grooved channels, thin sandwiched channels, channel crossings and membrane filters and injectors, have been fabricated in a single etch step.
