Abstract
The present invention provides a microfluidic device with a micro-pump system in which the production process is simplified and the device is further downsized. A microfluidic devicehas a gas generation portion. The gas generation portionhas a substrateand a gas generation layer. The substratehas a first main surfaceand a second main surface. The substratehas a micro-channelwith an opening at least on the first main surface. The gas generation layeris disposed on the first main surfaceof the substrateso as to cover an opening. The gas generation layergenerates gas by receiving an external stimulus.
