Microfluidics has advanced in terms of designs and structures, however, fabrication methods are either time consuming or expensive to produce, in terms of the facilities and equipment needed. A fast and economically viable method is provided to allow, for example, research groups to have access to microfluidic fabrication. Unlike most fabrication methods, a method is provided to fabricate a microfluidic device in one step.

Bonding and channel fabrication of complex or simple structures can be rapidly incorporated to fabricate the microfluidic devices.

Integrated circuit substrates having through silicon vias (TSVs) are described. The TSVs are vias extending through the silicon substrate in which the integrated circuitry is formed. The TSVs may be formed prior to formation of the integrated circuitry on the integrated circuit substrate, allowing the use of via materials which can be fabricated at relatively small sizes. The integrated circuit substrates may be bonded with a substrate having a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device. In some such situations, the circuitry of the integrated circuit substrate may face away from the MEMS substrate since the TSVs may provide electrical connection from the circuitry side of the integrated circuit substrate to the MEMS device.
