Several types of silicon fluidic coupler have been designed, fabricated, and tested to facilitate external connections to MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) fluidic devices. By using both bulk micromachining and DRIE (deep reactive ion-etching) techniques, couplers of different geometry have been produced for use with any standard MEMS fluidic port. In addition, couplers are easily modified to accommodate any arbitrary fluidic port geometry. For ease of use, these couplers interface with PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and fused-silica capillary tubing, both of which are commonly used in HPLC (highperformance liquid chromatography) systems and are supported by a wide range of plumbing products. Coupler performance was evaluated and an operating range of at least 0-8963 kPa (0-1300 psig) is attainable.
