A low voltage, two-level-metal, and multi-layer insulator electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) platform is presented. Dispensing 300 pl droplets from 140 nl closed on-chip reservoirs was accomplished with as little as 11.4 V solely through EWD forces, and the actuation threshold voltage was 7.2 V with a 1 Hz voltage switching rate between electrodes. EWD devices were fabricated with a multilayer insulator consisting of 135 nm sputtered tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) and 180 nm parylene C coated with 70 nm of CYTOP. Furthermore, the minimum actuation threshold voltage followed a previously published scaling model for
