Abstract

The invention provides a polymer film-based micro cell holder for cell holding, which is prepared by an MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) process. The holder may have a multiple cantilever beam structure (similar to a paw structure). Each cantilever beam is formed into a three-layer structure of gold/NAFION/gold by using a coating process, and one end of the cantilever beam is used as a fixed end to be connected with the substrate. It can work in ordinary aqueous solution. PARYLENE C film is used as protection on the electrodes and wiring to protect the structure covered by it from the surrounding solution. Compared with the micro-actuator formed by NAFION film which is commercially used at present and micro-gripper formed by other prior art, the micro-gripper not only has small volume (the structure size is about 200 Mum multiplied by 800 Mum multiplied by 200nm), large actuating displacement (can be curled), but also has low working voltage and low power consumption.
