Abstract

A manipulator which can separate dielectric particles (biological cells) was fabricated on a silicon wafer using polyimide and n-type electroplating. It consists of 1024 electrode arrays ($60{\mu}m{\times}60{\mu}m$) and spacing insulator. Positive dielectrophoresis is used for attracting particles. We have the solution of 3-D laplace equation about this device and calculate the force acting on the particles. The solution has spatial periodicity in the x, y directions and decays exponentially in the z direction.
