Two-phase spontaneous capillary microflows and the transport of capillary wagons

Berthier E., Berthier J., Brakke K., Lee Jing, Gosselin D., Navarro F., Theberge A., Berthier E., Berthier J., CEA-LETI, FR

The use of capillarity to move fluids at the microscale has been soaring lately due to new applications in medicine, biology, biotechnology, energy, thermic and space. Especially of interest are open capillary channels. These channels [...]

Self-alignment of Silicon Chips on Wafers: the Effect of Spreading and Wetting

Berthier J., Brakke K., Sanchez L., Di Cioccio L., CEA-LETI, FR

3D integration appears as the key to advanced microelectronic systems. While robotic methods experience difficulties to accommodate fabrication speed and alignment accuracy, self-assembly methods are promising due to their parallel aspect, which overcomes the main [...]
