Area of Science:

  • Microfluidics
  • Surface Science
  • Electrical Engineering

Background:

  • Conventional double-plate electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) systems require a grounded top electrode.
  • This grounded electrode complicates fabrication and increases costs during device encapsulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a novel double-plate EWOD device configuration with a floating top electrode.
  • To demonstrate that droplet driving force can be maintained without a grounded top electrode.
  • To explore the potential for integrating additional sensing functions on the top electrode.

Main Methods:

  • Finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to model and analyze the device.
  • A functional prototype of the floating top-electrode EWOD system was fabricated and tested.

Main Results:

  • The study confirmed that a floating top electrode can effectively maintain droplet driving force in EWOD systems.
  • FEA simulations and experimental results showed high reliability and reproducibility of the proposed configuration.
  • The floating electrode design simplifies fabrication and reduces costs compared to conventional EWOD devices.

Conclusions:

  • The novel floating top-electrode EWOD configuration offers a simplified and cost-effective alternative to conventional designs.
  • This configuration opens avenues for integrating advanced electrical or electrochemical sensing capabilities onto the top plate.
  • The validated reliability and reproducibility make this design suitable for practical microfluidic applications.
