A micromass sensor based on a trough-shaped cantilever beam structure

Abstract

The invention discloses a micro mass sensor based on a groove-shaped cantilever beam structure, and belongs to the technical field of sensors. In the groove-shaped cantilever beam of the sensor, one end of a fixed bock is provided with 1-2 same piezoelectric films, and a test substance adsorption film covers a cantilever end; and a resonant frequency difference delta f before and after the cantilever structure adsorbs a test substance is measured, and the mass m of the test substance is calculated further. By the introduction of the groove-shaped cantilever beam, the natural frequency of vibration and the adsorption area are increased, the sensitivity of the sensor is improved, and the measuring stability of the sensor is improved. The frequency change of the sensor caused by the mass of the adsorption film can be accurately measured through the piezoelectric films, and the mass of the test substance is calculated. The sensor has the characteristics of simple structure, large adsorption area, wide mass measuring range, high stability and sensitivity and the like, and the sensitivity can be improved by 20 percent to the maximum compared with that of a rectangular-section mass sensor with the same size particularly, so the sensor can be widely applied to measuring concentrations of gases/liquids, microparticles, dust, microbes such as bacteria or viruses and the like.

Problems solved by technology

However, since this technology needs to be carried out in a vacuum environment, and the calculation model is complex, and the adsorption position of the measured atoms will directly affect the measurement results, the entire measurement project is complicated, poorly controllable, and expensive, so it is not suitable for biochemical detection.

US patent US 6389877B1 and domestic patent CN1250156A use single-head and double-head cantilever structures to measure frequency. Although the adsorption area is increased by increasing the cantilever area, the system effective mass M of the cantilever beam is also increased. e , which is not conducive to the improvement of sensor sensitivity

Recently, the domestic invention patent publication number CN 1609555A proposes to measure the quality by measuring the displacement difference of the vibrator with the probe adsorbed on it, but a complex optical displacement measurement system is required, which increases the measurement cost

[0005] A comprehensive analysis found that although reducing the size of the sensor can improve its minimum mass measurement accuracy and sensitivity, the resulting measurement difficulties, reduced range and harsh measurement environment requirements have seriously affected its scope of application.
