Abstract
A contactor device includes: a first body substrate; a second body substrate; a flexible membrane connected to the first body substrate and second body substrate, wherein the second substrate body is movable relative to the first substrate body by flexure of the flexible membrane; an electrical contact member carried by the second substrate body; a microfluidic-channeled substrate coupled to the first body substrate, the microfluidic-channeled substrate having a chamber and a microfluidic channel in fluid communication with the chamber; and a 3-dimensional flexible membrane enclosing the chamber, wherein the 3-dimensional flexible membrane flexes toward the second body substrate when a fluid pressure is applied to the chamber through the microfluidic channel whereby a force or a movement is transferred to the second body substrate by the 3-dimensional flexible membrane.
