DRUG DELIVERY CHIP AND FABRICATING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A drug-delivery chip, comprising:
- a main body having at least one drug receiving space individually formed with an opening;
a thin film for sealing up the opening of the at least one drug receiving space;
a first conductive wire connected to one end of the thin film;
a second conductive wire connected to another end of the thin film;
a signal-receiving module for receiving actuated signals; and
a control module for applying voltages to the first conductive wire and the second conductive wire according to the actuated signals, thereby generating heat to break off the thin film for releasing a drug received in the at least one receiving space from the opening.

Abstract
A drug-delivery chip and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The drug-delivery chip has a main body having at least one drug receiving space individually formed with an opening for storing drugs therein; a thin film for sealing up the at least one drug receiving space; a first conductive wire connecting to one end of the thin film; a second conductive wire connecting to another end of the thin film; a signal-receiving module for receiving actuated signals; and a control module for applying voltages to first and second wire conductive s according to the actuated signal, thereby generating heat to break off the thin film for the release of a drug or drugs received in the at least one drug receiving space.

16. A method of fabricating a drug-delivery chip, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a substrate and there being a stack structure comprising an insulation layer, a conductive wire layer having void spaces, and a protection layer on a first surface of the substrate; etching the protection layer at a position corresponding to the void spaces of the conductive wire layer to form an opening; forming a metal thin film on the conductive wire layer to seal up the opening, wherein the metal thin film has two ends respectively connected to the conductive wire layer on each of two sides of the opening and is electrically connected to a control module via the conductive wire layer; etching the substrate and the insulation layer to form a drug receiving space and expose the metal thin film; filling the drug receiving space with a drug; and installing a sealing film on a second surface of the substrate to seal up the drug filled in the drug receiving space. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
