Geometrical considerations for the design of liquid-phase biochemical sensors using a cantilever's fundamental in-plane mode
The influence of the beam geometry on the quality factor and resonance frequency of resonant silicon cantilever beams vibrating in their fundamental in-plane flexural mode in water has been investigated. Compared to cantilevers vibrating in their first out-of-plane flexural mode, utilizing the in-plane mode results in reduced damping and reduced mass loading by the surrounding fluid. Quality fa...
متن کاملVariations in properties of atomic force microscope cantilevers fashioned from the same wafer.
Variations in the mechanical properties of nominally identical V-shaped atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers sourced from the same silicon nitride wafer have been quantified by measuring the spring constants, resonant frequencies and quality factors of 101 specimens as received from the manufacturer using the thermal spectrum method of Hutter and Bechhoefer. The addition of thin gold coati...
متن کاملQuality Factor Enhancement of Optical Channel Drop Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
In this paper, a channel drop ring resonator filter based on two dimensional photonic crystal is proposed which is suitable for all optical communication systems. The multilayer of silicon rods in the center of resonant ring enables one to adjust resonant wavelength of the ring and enhance power coupling efficiency between ring and waveguide. Refractive index and radius of multilayer rods insid...
متن کاملNonlinear Modeling and Investigating the Nonlinear Effects on Frequency Response of Silicon Bulk-mode Ring Resonator
This paper presents a nonlinear analytical model for micromechanical silicon ring resonators with bulk-mode vibrations. A distributed element model has been developed to describe the dynamic behavior of the micromechanical ring resonator. This model shows the nonlinear effects in a silicon ring resonator focusing on the effect of large amplitudes around the resonance frequency, material and ele...
متن کاملLiquid-phase chemical sensing using lateral mode resonant cantilevers.
Liquid-phase operation of resonant cantilevers vibrating in an out-of-plane flexural mode has to date been limited by the considerable fluid damping and the resulting low quality factors (Q factors). To reduce fluid damping in liquids and to improve the detection limit for liquid-phase sensing applications, resonant cantilever transducers vibrating in their in-plane rather than their out-of-pla...
