Abstract
A package and method of packaging for integrated microfluidic devices and systems is disclosed wherein a package is made from individually processed and patterned layers of LTCC green tape, that is aligned and stacked, and then co-fired to form a stable LTCC ceramic packaging modules. Subsequently, microfluidic device die and/or integrated microfluidic systems device die are bonded to pre-determined areas of the packaging modules and the modules are aligned bonded together to form leak-free, sealed packages for the microfluidic devices and systems. The use of LTCC materials and techniques provides a low-cost flexible and easily customizable packaging approach for microfluidic devices and systems that can be designed and transitioned into production with significant development time and cost.
