Digital microfluidic systems and methods for droplet manipulation
The present disclosure relates to digital microfluidic systems. Particularly, aspects are directed to a digital microfluidic system that includes a droplet chip having a substrate, a plurality of electrodes and corresponding plurality of conducting vias or embedded conductive posts formed in the substrate, and a dielectric layer formed over the plurality of electrodes; and a control chip having a substrate, a plurality of transistors and corresponding wiring layers formed in the substrate, and a plurality of contacts formed over the plurality of transistors. Each of the plurality of contacts is electrically connected to a corresponding transistor of the plurality of transistors, and one or more of the plurality of contacts is removably connected to one or more of the plurality of conducting vias or embedded conductive posts such that one or more of the plurality of transistors are electrically connected to one or more of the plurality of electrodes.
