Abstract :
In this paper, a micropump with spiral-type magnetic micromachine was fabricated and the flow rate of the pump was then experimentally evaluated. The pump system proposed in this work is suitable for the micro-fluid devices because they can control the very small flow rate quantitatively and the flow rate was independent of the viscosity of the fluid.
