Aluminium Printed Circuit Board Technology For Biomedical Micro-Devices

This paper presents an innovative Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology for biomedical microdevices. The fabrication process combines biocompatible tested materials and pure metal layers to build micro systems that mix active/passive electronics with microfluidics. Its peculiarity with respect to existing technologies is that it uses standard PCB processes, thereby preserving its characteristics as low production cost and large scale development, necessary for disposable applications
