Abstract

This paper presents the design, fabrication and experimental results of an electromagnetic microvalve for drug delivery systems. The microvalve consists of two silicon substrates with a silicone rubber diaphragm and a flow channel, a PDMS layer, and an electromagnetic actuator. Each substrate is fabricated by using the silicon wet etch, SU-8 mold process and $O_2$ plasma bonding.
