Liquid Encapsulation in Parylene Microstructures Using Integrated Annular-Plate Stiction Valves

We report the design, fabrication and characterization of micromachined Parylene structures for self-sealing liquid encapsulation applications. Automatic sealing is enabled through the use of an integrated annular-plate stiction valve which greatly reduces device footprint over in-plane configuratio...
