摘要： A method and apparatus for maintaining the state of a MEMS device in the event of a power failure are disclosed. The apparatus and method may be used with a MEMS device generally having one or more MEMS elements moveably coupled to a substrate that uses electrostatic clamping force to sustain the state of the MEMS element. According to the method, a capacitive or other charge-storing circuit is coupled between a clamping surface and an electrical ground. During normal operation, a clamping voltage is applied between the clamping surface and at least one MEMS element to retain the at least one MEMS element against the clamping surface. In the event of a power failure, the source of the clamping voltage and other circuit paths to ground are isolated from the clamping surface. The charge-storing circuit maintains an electric charge on the clamping surface. Leaky circuit paths to ground may be isolated from the clamping surface by an isolator element configured to electrically isolate the clamping surface in the event of a power failure. The isolator element may include an opto-isolator or a low leakage diode.

摘要： In some embodiments of the present invention, the buried silicon oxide technology is employed in the fabrication of fluid channels, particularly nanochannels. For example, a fluid channel can be made in a buried silicon oxide layer by etching the buried oxide layer with a method that selectively removes silicon oxide but not silicon. Thus, one dimension of the resulting fluid channel is limited by the thickness of the buried oxide layer. It is possible to manufacture a very thin buried oxide layer with great precision, thus a nanochannel can be fabricated in a controlled manner. Moreover, in addition to buried oxide, any pairs of substances with a high etch ratio with respect to each other can be used in the same way. Further provided are the fluid channels, apparatuses, devices and systems comprising the fluid channels, and uses thereof.
