| Abstract: | This is the master thesis of a project in which a high flow and high pressure SiO2 covered SiN nanopore membrane EOF pump and its production process flow have been designed and created. The pump consists of a 1 cm square chip with 37 100 µm square membranes which have been created by sacrificial moulding. The moulds are created using a novel technique for creating high density high aspect ratio nanopillars in Si. The current pump-design has a measured maximum pressure strength of 180 kPa. Based on the flow measurements it shows that this pressure can reached at a calculated potential of just 1.36 V over the membrane with a calculated maximum flow rate of 40.7 ml/min or 686 µl/s for a 0.2M K2HPO4-KH2PO4 solution at a pH between 7 and 8. |
