报告内容摘要:
Bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator has been proven to be an effective sensor platform with the advantage of precise frequency counting in electronic measurement. Meanwhile, with the improvement of device fabrication and material growth techniques, the resonator can be made with very small size, especially thin film bulk acoustic wave resonators (FBARs) based on ZnO and AlN have attracted much interest for sensor applications due to their high operating frequency. In this talk, our recent studies on the modeling and experimental study of bulk acoustic wave resonator sensor will be presented. Quartz thickness shear mode (TSM) resonator has been used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of polymer-CNT nanocomposite thin films deposited on the resonators surface. The input electric admittance of multilayer loaded TSM acoustic wave resonator is derived using transfer matrix method by taking into account the acoustic wave impedance of the coating layer. The electric impedance spectra of the unloaded and loaded acoustic wave resonators are measured experimentally, and a data fitting approach is applied to extract the properties of the polymer nanocomposites films. Quartz TSM resonator was also investigated for in-situ and real time measurement of liquid flow rate. Both theoretical and experimental investigation shows the resonant frequency shift is in quadratic relationship with the flow rate. The results indicate that quartz TSM resonators can be used for flow sensors with characteristics of simplicity, fast response, and good repeatability. Dual mode FBARs based on c-axis tilted ZnO and AlN thin films have been studied. Pure thickness shear mode and thickness longitudinal mode are found to occur at specific tilt angles. The results show that c-axis tilted ZnO and AlN thin films may provide more opportunities for resonator design and for sensing applications with much high sensitivity.
