The micropump and microvalves are fabricated and their performances are tested in this dissertation. Some key technologies, such as anisotropic bulk established and simulated. The modeling method of equivalent circuit network is summarized and the equivalent circuit network of PZT-driven micropump is presented. The development of MEMS, especially of micromachining techniques, micropumps and microvalves, are introduced in detail in this dissertation. The main objectives of this dissertation are the design and fabrication of micropump and microvalves as well as the research on related processes, test methods and theories, which are based on the recent worldwide developments in this field and the domestic technique condition and demand. The fabrication of micropump and microvalves is based on a silicon micromachining process while the fundamental fabrication is using semiconductor process line. Some special processes that are required for the fabrication of MEMS devices ought to be developed. The techniques of anisotropic bulk etching, sacrificial layer, etch-stop by high density doping with deep thickness and diprosopia photolithography are studied thoroughly. The parameters of these processes are determined, and typical process flows are given. The above achievements enlarge the degree of freedom of desigh of MEMS devices, and provide new ideas for the desigh of process flow. The compensation for convex corner is obtained creatively by applying the high density doping of boron and is applied to the fabrication of single crystal silicon microvalve. The model of the file of the micropum is presented as and elastic lamina with uniform thickness and clamped boundaries. The deformations of this lamina with different load such as uniform pressure, concentrated force and fluidic pressure at the condition of small deformation and large deformation are analyzed. The static and electrodynamic model of the PZT bimorph is presented and the relational matrix between input and output vectors is derived from the basic piezoelectric function. The deformation formula of the bimorph mounted at an elastic support is also obtained. From the Bernoulli equation, the structure-fluid coupling models of the microvalves are established. The losses of head are analyzed in allusion at these models. Then the features of microvalves are simulated and tested. To analyze the micropump faster and more precisely, the modeling method of equivalent circuit network are summarized. It is discussed how and equivalent network is built respectively and then connected with each other to form the whole equivalent circuit network. To control the flow direction efficiently, the microvalves are designed and fabricated, which are made of photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) and single crystal silicon. This is the first time that the polymer material is used as functional structure material of MEMS devices. The process parameters of PSPI are determined through experiments. The single crystal silicon flap of the microvalve and the film of micromump are fabricated by applying the etch-stop technique, and the thickness error of the film is less than 10%. The inlet and outlet microvalves are fabricated on the same chip so that the whole micropump has higher integration level. The maximum flow of PSPI microvalve is more than 20ml/min, and the load carrying capacity of backside is more than 500kPa without any leakage. The maximum flow of single crystal silicon microvalve is also more than 20ml/min, and its carrying capacity of backside is more than 50kPa with the leakage of around 20ul/min. the micropump is driven by a PZT bimorph that is mounted on the specially designed installer. The inlet and outlet are on the same side and the driving structure is on the other side. The pump film is also round. The features of the micropump are tested. The maximum flow of the bimorph-driven micropump is 365ul/min, and the backpressure is 2.38kPa. The precision of flow control is better than 1ul/min. At last, the main achievements and contributions of this dissertation are summarized.
