Abstract
A microfluidic package may include a fluid passage, a substrate having a substrate surface adjacent an interior of the fluid passage and components inset in the substrate, the components having component surfaces adjacent the fluid passage and substantially flush with the substrate surface.
Claims21
A microfluidic package comprising:
- a fluid passage having an interior including a plurality of interior surfaces;
- a substrate formed of an moldable material and having a substrate surface adjacent an interior surface among the plurality of interior surfaces of the fluid passage;
- and
- a plurality of heterogeneous components inset in the substrate, the plurality of heterogeneous components having component surfaces adjacent to and that define a portion of the interior surface of the fluid passage and are substantially flush with the substrate surface, and wherein the moldable material is over molded about the plurality of heterogeneous components, wherein the portion of the interior surface of the fluid passage is defined by the substrate surface of the substrate and the component surfaces of the plurality of heterogeneous components as overmolded.
