Comparison of different processes in making EHDmicropump electrode
The fabrication and design of micro-electrodes(the key component of Electrohydrodynamic(EHD) micropump) using MEMS technology are studied in this paper. The main part of the EHD micropump is a planar electrode array composed of electrode pairs made of the emitter and the collector. The electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pump uses the interaction between an electric field and electric charges
dipoles or particles embedded in a dielectric fluid to drive the fluid. The major key-controlling variables including the selection of electrode materials
diversification of electrode geometrical design
comparison of different fabrication processes
electroplating and kit-off process are analyzed systematically.The experimental results show that noble metals have good performance of resistance for corrosion electrochemical processes
and the electrode with sharp geometry can improve the performance of micropump. It also shows that kit-off process is better than electroplating process in electrode quality.
