摘要：

An electrowetting system with protection against Self healing oxide prevents electrolysis, dielectric breakdown is presented. It comprises an electrolyte and a Parylene-C film deposited on an aluminum electrode. The system oil demonstrates virtually instantaneous self-healing (within 100 ms) after dielectric breakdown under both DC and certain AC electrowetting conditions. DC current response during electrowetting on intentionally damaged Parylene-C is presented. Also presented is a characterization of DC offset voltages and duty cycle percentages required for electrolysis free AC electrowetting between 10 Hz Metal electrode and 4 kHz.
