Internshipintroduction
Microfluidics hasbecome a cornerstone technology for modern biomedical, chemical, andenvironmental applications. This technique has been enabling precise control offluids at the microscale with reduced sample volumes and faster analysis times.The performance and reliability of microfluidic devices strongly depend on thequality of their fabrication, which remains a major technical challenge.
Achievinghigh-resolution patterns, reproducibility, and robust sealing is particularlydifficult as device architectures become more complex. Fabrication constraintsoften limit scalability, material compatibility, and integration of newfunctionalities. To address these challenges, we open this internship todevelop a process using a novel dry film resist for microfluidic applications.This work will focus both on improving developing a recipe for this novel resistand optimise the development for wafer-to-wafer bonding. This internship offersyou an unique opportunity to work in a team centered on lab scaled developmentof diverse devices on micro scale.
Techniques to belearned: Microfabrication, lamination, photolithography, wafer to waferbonding.
