This book describes a comprehensive framework for hardware/software co-design, optimization, and use of robust, low-cost, and cyberphysical digital microfluidic systems. Readers with a background in electronic design automation will find this book to be a valuable reference for leveraging conventional VLSI CAD techniques for emerging technologies, e.g., biochips or bioMEMS. Readers from the circuit/system design community will benefit from methods presented to extend design and testing techniques from microelectronics to mixed-technology microsystems. For readers from the microfluidics domain, this book presents a new design and development strategy for cyberphysical microfluidics-based biochips suitable for large-scale bioassay applications.. Takes a transformative, "cyberphysical" approach towards achieving closed-loop and sensor feedback-driven biochip operation under program control;. Presents a "physically-aware" system reconfiguration technique that uses sensor data at intermediate checkpoints to dynamically reconfigure biochips;. Enables readers to simplify the structure of biochips, while facilitating the "general-purpose" use of digital microfluidic biochips for a wider range of applications.

This book provides an insightful guide to the design, testing and optimization of micro-electrode-dot-array (MEDA) digital microfluidic biochips.

The technical contributions presented in this book will not only shorten the product development cycle, but also accelerate the adoption and further development of modern flow-based microfluidic biochips, by facilitating the full exploitation of design complexities that are possible with current fabrication techniques.

This book presents a novel multilevel full-chip router, namely mSIGMA for SIGnal-integrity and MAnufacturability optimization. The book includes a detailed description on the modern VLSI routing problems, and multilevel optimization on routing design to solve the chip complexity problem.
