摘要： A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device (10) and method for operating the device (10) to determine a property of a fluid. The device (10) has a tube (14) that extends from a base (16) and is spaced apart from a substrate surface (18) for vibrational movement in a plane normal to the surface (18). The tube (14) defines a continuous internal passage (20) having a fluid inlet (22) and fluid outlet (24) fluidically connected to the base (16). A cantilevered member (30) attached to a distal portion (14C) of the tube (14) opposite the base (16) is configured for vibrational movement relative to the distal portion (14C). A drive electrode (26) operable to induce vibrational movements in the tube (14) and cantilevered member (30) is disposed on the substrate surface (18). Sensing electrodes (28) are disposed on the substrate surface (18) for sensing Coriolis- induced deflections of the tube (14) when vibrated, generating outputs from which a property of a fluid flowing through the tube (14) can be determined.

摘要： A process for fabricating multiple microfluidic device chips (50). The process includes fabricating multiple micromachined tubes (52) in a semiconductor device wafer (12). The tubes (52) are fabricated so that each tube (52) has an internal fluidic passage (16) and an inlet and outlet (18) thereto defined in a surface of the device wafer (12). The device wafer (12) is then bonded to a glass wafer (14) to form a device wafer stack (10), and so that through-holes (24) in the glass wafer (14) are individually fluidically coupled with the inlets and outlets (18) of the tubes (52). The glass wafer (14) is then bonded to a metallic wafer (26) to form a package wafer stack, so that through-holes (30) in the metallic wafer (26) are individually fluidically coupled with the through-holes (24) of the glass wafer (14). Multiple microfluidic device chips (50) are then singulated from the package wafer stack. Each device chip (50) has a continuous flow path for a fluid therethrough that is preferably free of organic materials.
