Abstract
Example methods, apparatus, systems for droplet actuator fabrication are disclosed. An example non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least control movement of a laser to cause the laser to etch an electrode pattern in a first substrate, the electrode pattern including a first set of electrodes, a second set of electrodes, and a third set of electrodes; control a printer driver to cause a hydrophobic material and a dielectric material to be applied to the second set of electrodes and not the first set of electrodes via a printer; control a bonding driver to cause a gap to be defined between the first substrate and a second substrate; and control a dicing driver to cause a portion the first substrate and a portion of the second substrate to be cut into a droplet actuator.
