摘要
The fabrication of a unidirectional micro-valve in silicon is reported. Pressure/flow characteristics between 0-1 bar for water were measured. Practically no leakage was observed (less than 1 nL min-1) when the valve was pressurized in the backward direction. A nonlinear pressure-flow relation, believed to be due to the particular design of the closing cantilever beam, was observed in the forward direction. Some of the merits of the construction are discussed.
