Microelectrode Fabrication Using Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) For Microfluidic Devices Employing Dielectrophoresis

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: IFMBE Proceedings ((IFMBE,volume 21))

Abstract

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) has been widely employed as one of the techniques in developing various micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). The manipulation of particles using DEP forces is dependent upon the particles’ dipole moment that is produced in the presence of an electric field gradient. The paper documents the fabrication processes employed at the University of Surrey in developing the microelectrodes to be used in generating the said field gradient.
