Fabrication of embedded microfluidic channels in low temperature co-fired ceramic technology using laser machining and progressive lamination
IDR-4: Progressive lamination is used to embed microfluidic channels into low temperature co-fired ceramic for the first time. The resulting microelectromechanical components are being developed further in an EPSRC IeMRC project with Imperial College London, Loughborough University, and an industrial consortium of Antenova, Astrium, Plextek, E2V, and Ultra Electronics (SP/02/03/10, 2011–2014, £424k), and won an award for “Technology most likely to be adopted by industry” at the IMAPS R2i2 Electronics Conference in July 2013. Follow-on work to integrate microwave components and ultrasound transducers with microelectromechanical ceramic components underpins the Leeds £4.3M EPSRC Facility for Innovative Robotic Systems.
