摘要
Thermal microactuators offer a large potential for technical applications such as inkjet print heads, micro drop valves, micro pumps or chemical micro reactors. However, the enormous mechanical and thermal stress limits the device reliability and efficiency up to now. In order to overcome complex technologies and reliability problems, we present the first thermal diamond microactuator, enabling superheating of various liquids, highly reproducible drop ejection with high reliability and a fabrication technology of low complexity.
