چکیده

one of the bio-sensing mechanisms is mechanical. rather than measuring shift in resonance frequency, we adopt to measure the change in spring constant due to adsorption, as one of the fundamental sensing mechanism. this study explains  determination of spring constant of a surface functionalized micro machined micro cantilever, which resonates in a trapezoidal cavity-on silicon wafer, with the resonating frequency of 7000 cycles per second. this thin-flimsy-oxide micro-cantilever has a typical shape, and the tip of the micro-cantilever is dip-coated with chemically and biologically active material. the change in mass, due to adsorption, is detected by measuring the change in spring constant. the force-distance spectroscopy is used to detect the change in spring constant. the experimental results, show that the mechanical sensing scheme used, permit this surface functionalized micro machined micro cantilever to be used as a molecular mass sensor. the mechanical spring behaviour of a micro-cantilever, a micro-mechanical device can be used to develop ultra-tech micro-mechanical system using computer interface.

A Compact Micro Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor with Flow Bypass for a Monopropellant Micro Propulsion System

We have designed, fabricated and tested a micromachined Coriolis flow sensor for the measurement of hydrazine (N2H4) propellant flow in a micro chemical propulsion system (μCPS). The sensor will be used for measurement and characterization of the μCPS in a simulated space vacuum environment. To reach the required flow range a bypass system is integrated. Initial measurements demonstrate an incr...

Detecting Both the Mass and Position of an Accreted Particle by a Micro/Nano-Mechanical Resonator Sensor

In the application of a micro-/nano-mechanical resonator, the position of an accreted particle and the resonant frequencies are measured by two different physical systems. Detecting the particle position sometimes can be extremely difficult or even impossible, especially when the particle is as small as an atom or a molecule. Using the resonant frequencies to determine the mass and position of ...

Micro Coriolis Mass Flow Sensor with Extended Range for a Monopropellant Micro Propulsion System

We have designed and realised a micromachined micro Coriolis flow sensor for the measurement of hydrazine (N2H4, High Purity Grade) propellant flow in micro chemical propulsion systems. The sensor should be able to measure mass flow up to 6 mg/s for a single thruster or up to 24 mg/s for four thrusters. The sensor will first be used for measurement and characterisation of the micro thruster sys...
