Micromechanical resonators have aroused growing interest as biological and chemical sensors, and microcantilever beams are the main research focus. Recently, a resonant microcantilever with an integrated heater has been applied in on-chip thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). However, there is a strong relationship between the mass sensitivity of a resonant microcantilever and the location of adsorbed masses. Different sampling positions will cause sensitivity differences, which will result in an inaccurate calculation of mass change. Herein, an integrated H-shaped resonant beam with uniform mass sensitivity and temperature distribution is proposed and developed to improve the accuracy of bio/chemical sensing and TGA applications. Experiments verified that the presented resonant beam possesses much better uniformity of sensitivity and temperature distribution compared with resonant microcantilevers. Gas-sensing and TGA experiments utilizing the integrated resonant beam were also carried out and exhibited good measurement accuracy.
微机械谐振器作为生物和化学传感器已引起越来越多的关注,微悬臂梁是主要的研究重点。最近,一种集成加热器的谐振微悬臂已应用于片上热重分析(TGA)。然而,谐振微悬臂的质量灵敏度与吸附质量的位置之间存在很强的关系。不同的采样位置会导致灵敏度差异,从而导致质量变化的计算不准确。在此,提出并开发了一种具有均匀质量灵敏度和温度分布的集成H形谐振梁,以提高生物/化学传感和TGA应用的准确性。实验证明,与谐振微悬臂相比,所提出的谐振梁具有更好的灵敏度和温度分布均匀性。利用集成谐振梁进行的气敏和TGA实验也进行了,并且显示出良好的测量精度。
