Microfilters for collecting micron-size airborne biological agents are designed and fabricated using a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) fabrication technology. The thickness of the microfilter ranges from 1 mum-3 mum, and the hole diameter from 5 mum-12 mum. Iterations between experimental and numerical studies are carried out to attain efficient microfilter designs with low, pressure drop. Two orders of magnitude reduction of viscous power consumption have been achieved. A design rule of the filter in a low Reynolds-number range was first derived from numerical simulations. Highly, accurate measurements of the three-dimensional (3-D) geometry side-wall profile, and diameter of the micron-size holes tire critical in validating and modifying the design rule. The effect of the surface slip is found to be small in the tested Knudsen-number range.
