Semiconductor Physics and Micron Scale Fluid Mechanics towards the Microelectromechanical Systems Associated with Nanotechnology
Abstract: Interrelations among semiconductor physics, microfluidics, nanofluidics and nanotechnology are briefly described. A single microchannel bend is designed and fabricated by author using the maskless lithography, hot embossing lithography and direct bonding. Dyed water is the selected and prepared working liquid in this work. Surface-driven (passive) capillary flow of working liquid is recorded in the fabricated microchannel bend using a CMOS camera. This work may be useful in applied chemistry.

Experimental Demonstration on Polymer based Microfluidics at the First Quantisation in Physics
Abstract: Difference between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is the first quantisation in physics as the quantum theory is first quantisation in physics. Quantum field theory is the second quantisation in physics. Principles of fluid mechanics belong to the classical mechanics (non-quantum). Hence, fluid mechanics is present at the first quantisation in physics. Bulk-fluidics, microfluidics and nanofluidics are the levels of fluid mechanics from the aspects of miniaturisation. In this experimental …
