Abstract

We present a micro-electro-mechanical pump design, up to one order of magnitude smaller in surface area compared to state-of-the-art solutions. After identifying a standard MEMS microphone manufacturing process as suitable vantage point for the production of an integrated micropump, designs with device edge lengths below 1.9 mm are implemented. Sophisticated finite element simulations including full electro-mechanical-fluidic coupling and mechanical contact are carried out in order to support the development and to identify the most promising and efficient device variants. This approach results in a micropump concept with expected flow rates in the range of 20 μl/min per mm3 device volume.
