Abstract
Microfluidics has been identified as a revolutionizing technology for chemistry and biology, enabling cost-effective semi-automated experiments without extensive laboratory infrastructure. However, the complexity and number of simultaneous experiments is limited with current fabrication approaches. We present a novel CMOS compatible process to fabricate embedded microchannels that can greatly enhance the functionality and scalability of microfluidic experimentation. The feasibility of the fabrication process is demonstrated with a device to probe mechanical properties of cells before and after presenting them a stimulus.
