Abstract

This paper presents a piezoelectric micro-bridge structure as a resonant gas sensor. The proposed micro-sensor is designed to expand the narrow range of frequency changing and make correction convenient for detection. The mechanical performance was simulated to obtain optimum design parameters by finite element method. The relationship between dimensions, layer thickness and resonance frequency is discussed. The results show that resonance frequency increased by about 0.6 MHz with a 8.25e-16 kg mass rise in gas-sensing layer in the frequency range of 8 GHz to 8.5 GHz. Thus, the sensor is very sensitive to the change of membrane mass and this makes it very suitable for concentration sensitive detector. Finally the fabrication process for the sensor suitable for batch fabrication is proposed.
