This paper describes two methods - stamp-to-stick bonding and microtransfer molding - to integrate microfluidic channel into an optoelectrofluidic device for in-channel microparticle manipulation. We have demonstrated the optoelectronic microparticle manipulation in the channel-integrated optoelectrofluidic device using a liquid crystal display. As injecting a liquid sample containing $15{\mu}m$-diameter polystyrene particles into the fabricated channel, trapping and transport of individual microparticles have been successfully demonstrated. This channel-integrated optoelectrofluidic device may be useful for several in-channel applications based on the optoelectrofluidics such as optoelectronic flow control, droplet-based protein assay and bead-based immunoassay.

Surface acoustic wave(SAW) device is used for transporting and patterning micro-scale particles such as cells. In this research, velocity of particles was investigated moved by SAW device with two types of interdigital electrode transducers(IDTs) under various conditions. SAW devices which have single IDTs and double IDTs were designed and fabricated. On the previous studies, resultant velocities of particles were predicted considering output power and power ratio between IDTs-shape. For more accurate prediction, power loss in SAW device and a power difference between two types of IDTs-shape were considered. Maximum error between the test results and predicted values was 5 % so the power loss must be considered in the velocity prediction of the particles.
