Abstract
This paper deals with a novel structure for single-cell characterization which makes use of bimorph thermal actuators combined with electrical sensor device and integrated micro channel. The goal of this device is to capture and characterize individual biocells or micro particles. After analysis of actuation by numerical modeling and simulation, practical fabrication of prototype probes is realized. Finally, we optimize the dimension of cantilevers and integrated parallel probe systems with microfluidic channels.
