A valve controlling fluid flow includes a brittle layer (12) of material having a port opening (30, 32) therein and a valve seat (24A-24F) disposed about a perimeter of the port opening (30, 32). The valve seat (24A-24F) is selectively covered to control fluid flow through the port opening (30, 32). A second layer of material (20) is spaced apart from the brittle layer (12) and has a surface facing the valve seat (24A-24F). A flexible sheet of material (18) sandwiched between the brittle layer of material (12) and the second layer of material (20) includes a diaphragm (22A-22F) actuated by a control force to selectively cover the valve seat (24A-24F) to thereby control fluid flow through the port opening (30, 32). The flexible sheet of material (18) includes a moldable material (64) a portion of which conforms to a contour of the valve seat (24A-24F). The moldable material (64) is preferably joined to a flexible organic material (66). |
