Outline • Introduction • Theory • Design and Fabrication • Experimental Results • Conclusion 同質量的液體以球形的表面積最小 因此水珠通常以球形式存在 這樣才符合自由能最小化的自然法則 [MIT John W. M. Bush (April 2004).]
Introduction • Surface Tension • Weight scales as L3 and surface tension scales as L1 • Hence weight decreases more rapidly than surface tension • Hence insects can walk on water and coins can float on water

Paper Contribution : 1.None of old approaches have allowed lateral lens with high accuracy positioning 2.Lens diameter : 700μm Electrodes width : 100 μm Positioning accuracy : 100μm
Design and Fabrication Process Flow : a) Photo-resist structure starting 525μm thickness by HF etching b) The grooves are filled with ITO using lift-off c) The system covered with 800nm SiO2 layer d) The barrier grid is etched into SiO2 e) The droplet contact is sputtered onto the wafer using lift-off Note:透明導電電極技術(indium tin oxide,簡稱 IT O,氧化銦錫)
Experimental Results Movement & No movement: 1.Voltage Pulse amplitude 2.Voltage Pulse width Condition: Grid: 100μm mesh 300nm depth The electrodes are covered by a dielectric layer (800nm PECVD silicon dioxide)
Experimental Results (continue) Lippmann´s Equation & “Lens maker’s formula” D: diameter of the micro-lens n: refractive index U: Voltage Volume : 1.9 nl • The turning range is in focal length is roughly two times initial focal length • Increasing the voltage U therefore increases the focal length [2]
Conclusion • Precise positioning and focal tuning of liquid micro lens • Achieved 100 μm high-resolution positioning control with the need for large numbers of electrodes • Successfully using voltage pluses (pluses width & High) control liquid movement with the resolution of grid spacing

氣─固─液界面的三角關係 當液體潤濕固體表面時,原本氣─固的界面被液─固的界面所取代,而氣─固與液─固之界面張力的差,稱之為「濕潤張力」。當氣─固的界面張力大於液─固的界面張力時,也就是固體和液體間的吸引力大於固體和氣體間的吸引力時,固體和氣體間的界面張力會將液─固界面拉伸。換句話說,被濕潤的固體表面有較低的界面張力,因此液體會在固體表面擴張。 當液體滴在固體表面上時,固體表面和液滴切線的夾角,就是所謂的接觸角。假使接觸角小,如水滴在玻璃基板上的情形,表示液體易濕潤固體表面。但是,如果接觸角像水銀液滴在玻璃基板上那麼大,代表液體不易濕潤此表面。而濕潤張力和接觸角的關係,可以用楊格方程式(Young's equation)表示:氣─固與液─固界面張力的差等於氣─液界面張力乘上接觸角的餘弦函數。考慮兩種極端的情形,當接觸角為 0 度時,表示液體能完全的濕潤於固體表面;當接觸角為 180 度時,代表液體完全不能濕潤於固體表面。 從固─氣的界面張力觀點來看,當接觸角越小,餘弦函數(cosθ)會越大,固─氣的界面張力也會越大,此時表示固體表面較易被濕潤。而當接觸角越大,固─氣的界面張力越低(如鐵氟龍),代表越不易被濕潤。 液滴在表面的接觸角示意圖。上圖為疏水性的接觸;下圖為親水性的接觸。
