Patent number: 7800279Abstract: Disclosed is a thermo-buckled micro actuation unit made of parylene, which is a polymer having high thermal expansion coefficient, for delivering liquid from a source liquid section to a target liquid section, including a substrate on which a thermo-buckled micro actuation unit is formed. The thermo-buckled micro actuation unit includes upper and lower films made of polymers of high thermal expansion coefficient, a metal resistor arranged between the two films, and a flow channel defined between the lower film and the substrate. When electrical power is supplied to the metal resistor, the metal resistor generates heat and the heat is conducted to the upper and lower films, of which the thicknesses are different, whereby a temperature difference is induced therebetween and causing deformation of thermo-buckling, as a result of which the liquid is pumped from the source liquid section, through the flow channel, toward the target liquid section.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Tamkang UniversityInventor: Lung-Jieh Yang
