Metal-Coated SU-8 Structures for High-Density 3-D Microelectrode Arrays

Samuel Kilchenmann, Carlotta Guiducci, Pietro Maoddi, Enrica Rollo

Electric fields can be effectively used to sense, manipulate, and move particles in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, the throughput of such devices is a critical issue, which can be effectively improved by increasing the height of the microchannels. Fo ...
