It is worth noting that, when the reservoir chamber 11b is formed by the wet etching process, the mask layer 1g is also removed together. After the formation of the storage chamber 11b and the removal of the mask layer 1g, the outlet groove 13a of the substrate 1a is communicated with the outflow hole 15a, and the inlet groove 14a is respectively connected with a plurality of first inflow holes 16a and a second inflow hole 15a. The holes 17a communicate with each other. Please refer to FIGS. 2G and 5C again. In the first embodiment of the present application, the wet etching process is usually isotropic etching. In the first embodiment of the present application, when the liquid storage chamber 11b is etched, the liquid storage chamber 11b There is a cavity depth r, which is equal to the thickness of the cavity layer 1b, and the undercut distance generated by wet etching is r', so the cavity depth r is equal to the undercut distance r', which is an isotropic etching . Furthermore, since the diameters of the outflow holes 15a, each of the first inflow holes 16a and each of the second inflow holes 17a are only between 5-50 micrometers (μm), and the cavity depth r is only between 1-5 Therefore, when etching the liquid storage chamber 11b, an over-etching is required, so as to prolong the etching time, the unetched residues can be removed. In the first embodiment of the present application, when the wet etching process is performed to form the liquid storage chamber 11b, an over-etching distance L will be generated, and the over-etching distance L is greater than the under-etching distance by r', so that the liquid storage chamber 11b can be formed. The silica material in the range is completely removed.

请回到图1,流道层1i最后通过一覆晶对位以及一热压合制程接合于基板1a的第二表面12a,形成本案微流体致动器100的致动单元10。借此,孔板层1h的出流口11h借由流道层1i的出流通道11i与基板 1a的出口沟槽13a相连通;以及孔板层1h的进流口12h分别借由流道层1i的进流通道12i与基板1a的进口沟槽14a相连通。Returning to FIG. 1 , the flow channel layer 1i is finally bonded to the second surface 12a of the substrate 1a through a flip-chip alignment and a thermocompression bonding process to form the actuating unit 10 of the microfluidic actuator 100 of the present invention. Thereby, the outflow port 11h of the orifice plate layer 1h communicates with the outlet groove 13a of the substrate 1a through the outflow channel 11i of the flow channel layer 1i; The inlet channel 12i of 1i communicates with the inlet groove 14a of the substrate 1a.

请参阅图6A及图6B,于本案第一实施例中,微流体致动器100的具体作动方式,提供具有相反相位电荷的驱动电源至上电极层1f以及下电极层1d,以驱动并控制振动层1c产生上下位移。如图6A所示,当施加正电压给上电极层1f以及负电压给下电极层1d时,压电致动层1e带动振动层1c朝向远离基板1a的方向位移,借此,外部流体由孔板层1h的进流口12h被吸入至微流体致动器100内,而进入微流体致动器100内的流体接着依序通过流道层1i的进流通道12i、基板1a的进口沟槽14a以及基板1a的多个第一进流孔洞16a与第二进流孔洞17a,最后汇集于腔体层1b的储流腔室11b内。如图6B所示,接着转换上电极层1f以及下电极层1d的电性,施加负电压给上电极层1f以及正电压给下电极层1d,如此振动层1c朝向靠近基板1a的方向位移,使储流腔室11b内体积受振动层1c压缩,致使汇集于储流腔室11b内的流体得以依序通过基板1a的出流孔洞15a、基板1a 的出口沟槽13a以及流道层1i的出流通道11i后,自孔板层1h的出流口11h排出于微流体致动器100外,完成流体的传输。Please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B , in the first embodiment of the present application, the specific operation mode of the microfluidic actuator 100 is to provide driving power with opposite phase charges to the upper electrode layer 1f and the lower electrode layer 1d to drive and control The vibration layer 1c is displaced up and down. As shown in FIG. 6A, when a positive voltage is applied to the upper electrode layer 1f and a negative voltage is applied to the lower electrode layer 1d, the piezoelectric actuating layer 1e drives the vibration layer 1c to move away from the substrate 1a, whereby the external fluid flows through the holes The inflow port 12h of the plate layer 1h is sucked into the microfluidic actuator 100, and the fluid entering the microfluidic actuator 100 then sequentially passes through the inflow channel 12i of the flow channel layer 1i and the inlet groove of the substrate 1a 14a and the plurality of first inflow holes 16a and second inflow holes 17a of the substrate 1a are finally collected into the fluid storage chamber 11b of the cavity layer 1b. As shown in FIG. 6B, the electrical properties of the upper electrode layer 1f and the lower electrode layer 1d are then converted, and a negative voltage is applied to the upper electrode layer 1f and a positive voltage to the lower electrode layer 1d, so that the vibration layer 1c is displaced toward the direction close to the substrate 1a, The volume in the storage chamber 11b is compressed by the vibration layer 1c, so that the fluid collected in the storage chamber 11b can pass through the outflow holes 15a of the substrate 1a, the outlet grooves 13a of the substrate 1a and the flow channel layer 1i in sequence. After exiting the outflow channel 11i, the fluid is discharged out of the microfluidic actuator 100 from the outflow port 11h of the orifice plate layer 1h to complete the fluid transmission.

值得注意的是,当微流体致动器100吸入外部流体时,部分外部流体会由孔板层1h的出流口11h被吸入微流体致动器100内,但由于孔板层1h的出流道口11h的孔径较入流道口12h的孔径小,所以外部流体自出流口11h被吸入的量相对较少。当微流体致动器100排出流体时,流道层1i的多个柱状结构13i对于回流的流体会产生阻尼效果,此外,基板1a的第二进流孔洞17a对应到压电致动层1c位移量最小的边缘位置。所以流体自进流口12h被排出的量相对较少。It is worth noting that when the microfluidic actuator 100 sucks the external fluid, part of the external fluid will be sucked into the microfluidic actuator 100 through the outflow port 11h of the orifice plate layer 1h, but due to the outflow of the orifice plate layer 1h The hole diameter of the passage opening 11h is smaller than that of the inflow passage opening 12h, so that the amount of external fluid sucked from the outflow opening 11h is relatively small. When the microfluidic actuator 100 discharges fluid, the plurality of columnar structures 13i of the flow channel layer 1i will have a damping effect on the backflowing fluid. In addition, the second inflow hole 17a of the substrate 1a corresponds to the displacement of the piezoelectric actuating layer 1c The smallest edge position. Therefore, the amount of fluid discharged from the inlet port 12h is relatively small.

再者,值得注意的是,基板1a的多个第一进流孔洞16a流通阻力过大的问题,可借由调整电压波形或拉长微流体致动器100吸入外部流体的作动时间而改善。Furthermore, it is worth noting that the problem that the flow resistance of the plurality of first inflow holes 16a of the substrate 1a is too large can be improved by adjusting the voltage waveform or lengthening the actuation time of the microfluidic actuator 100 for sucking the external fluid .

请参阅图7,本案第二实施例与第一实施例大致相同,不同之处在于微流体致动器100'包含二致动单元10,借以增加流量输出。Referring to FIG. 7 , the second embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the microfluidic actuator 100 ′ includes two actuating units 10 to increase the flow output.

请参阅图8,于本案其他实施例中,微流体致动器100"包含多个致动单元10。多个致动单元10可借串联、并联或串并联方式设置,借以增加流量输出,多个致动单元10的设置方式可依照使用需求而设计,不以此为限。Referring to FIG. 8, in other embodiments of the present application, the microfluidic actuator 100" includes a plurality of actuating units 10. The plurality of actuating units 10 can be arranged in series, in parallel, or in series-parallel, so as to increase the flow output. The arrangement of each of the actuating units 10 can be designed according to usage requirements, but is not limited thereto.

值得注意的是,于本案第一实施例以及第二实施例中,每一个致动单元10具有一对称性结构,于本案其他实施例中,每一个致动单元10 的结构设置方式可以依照使用需求而设计,不以此为限。It should be noted that, in the first and second embodiments of this application, each actuating unit 10 has a symmetrical structure.
