  • Publication number: 20120144672
    Abstract: A method of producing a valve includes the steps of forming a channel in a silicon substrate, with the channel having an opening penetrating an entire thickness of the silicon substrate, and forming, by patterning, a metal layer on one surface of the silicon substrate without closing the opening of the channel. In addition, a low melting point metal member is deposited so as to cover at least a part of the metal layer and also to block the opening of the channel.

  • Patent number: 8141575
    Abstract: A valve includes a silicon substrate having first and second surfaces, a channel having an opening extending between both surfaces of the silicon substrate, and a metal pattern on the first surface of the silicon substrate. The metal pattern surrounds the opening on the first surface of the silicon substrate but does not close the opening. In addition, a low melting point metal member is disposed on the surface of the silicon substrate. The low melting point metal member covers at least a part of the metal pattern and completely closes the opening on the first surface of the silicon substrate.
