Abstract

A process for manufacturing a microfluidic device, including the steps of: forming at least one channel in a semiconductor material body; forming a dielectric diaphragm above the channel, for closing the channel; and forming heating elements for providing thermal energy inside the channel. The heating elements are formed directly on said dielectric diaphragm.
