Infusing minute amounts of valuable liquids such as samples to microfluidic chips by using common pumping schemes such as syringe pumps often result in an excessive dead-volume. We present a simple yet effective sample loading interface, which helps by pumping the sample to the chip by using the hydraulic pressure generated by the syringe pump. Results show that sample volumes as low as 25 mu l can be delivered at flow rates ranging between 10-30 mu l min(-1). Maximum dead volume ratio was observed to be 3% when infusing 200 mu l of sample at 10 mu l min(-1).

A method for wafer level hermetic packaging of SOI-MEMS devices with embedded vertical feedthroughs using advanced MEMS process Torunbalci, Mustafa Mert; Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (IOP Publishing, 2015-12-01) This paper presents a novel, inherently simple, and low-cost fabrication and hermetic packaging method developed for SOI-MEMS devices, where a single SOI wafer is used for the fabrication of MEMS structures as well as vertical feedthroughs, while a single glass cap wafer is used for hermetic encapsulation and routing metallization. Hermetic encapsulation can be achieved either with the silicon-glass anodic or Au-Si eutectic bonding techniques. The dies sealed with anodic and Au-Si eutectic bonding provide a...
Design and fabrication of a high performance resonant MEMS temperature sensor Kose, Talha; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (IOP Publishing, 2016-04-01) This paper presents a high performance MEMS temperature sensor comprised of a double-ended-tuning-fork (DETF) resonator and strain-amplifying beam structure. The temperature detection is based on the 'thermal strain induced frequency variations' of the DETF resonator. The major source of thermal strain leading to the frequency shifts is the difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the substrate and the device layers of the fabricated structures. By selecting the substrate as glass and the device laye...
Characterization of T1InS1.8Se0.2 as advanced functional crystals Qasrawi, A. F.; Atatreh, Areen A. M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-15) In this work, selenium doped TlInS1.8Se0.2 crystals are used to fabricate multifunctional devices that can handle more than one duty at a time. After revealing the morphological, compositional, structural and optical properties of the doped crystal, it is sandwiched between Ag and carbon metals. The crystals are characterized by means of ultraviolet-visible light spectrophotometry, impedance spectroscopy and illumination dependent current-voltage characteristics techniques. While the optical spectroscopy al...
Electrical characterization of vacuum-deposited n-CdS/p-CdTe heterojunction devices Bayhan, H; Ercelebi, C (IOP Publishing, 1997-05-01) The effects of post-deposition processes such as CdCl2 dip and/or annealing in air on the material and device properties of vacuum-evaporated Au-CdTe/CdS-TO heterojunction solar cells have been investigated. The CdCl2 dip followed by air annealing at 300 degrees C for 5 min improved the device efficiency significantly, resulting in decreased CdTe resistivity and enhanced grain size. The temperature-dependent current-voltage analysis indicated that above 280 K interface recombination dominates the current tr...
An on-die ultra-low voltage DC-DC step-up converter with voltage doubling LC-tank Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Pathirana, W. P. M. R.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (IOP Publishing; 2016-12-01) In this paper we report the design, characterization and verification of a novel on-die ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter circuit for energy harvester applications in 0.18 mu m complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The circuit self-starts, does not use off-chip components, and is thus suitable for use in highly integrated low cost systems. The first version of the design has a five-stage charge-pump stimulated by an oscillator with two center-tap inductors. It is validated on a test chi...
