Abstract

See full text

A flexible IC/microfluidic hybrid integration and packaging method and resulting device. A single flexible elastomer substrate, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), has dedicated microchannels filled with liquid metals (or low melting point solders) to provide electrical interconnects to a solid-state IC die, such as CMOS, and additional microchannels for hybrid integration with microfluidics without performing any post-processing on the IC die. The liquid metal used can be a gallium-indium-tin eutectic alloy (also called Galinstan).
