Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to a novel fabricated resonator structure which consists of some single mechanical resonators as a mass sensor.
Design/methodology/approach
The structure is proposed to detect the target molecules and cells in a droplet. Also, at this design the mechanical coupling springs of the proposed structure are designed in such a way that it resonates in shear resonance mode which minimizes the damping effect.
Findings
This proposed design can be fabricated in different sizes due to the requirements of an application.
Originality/value
The proposed design is fabricated in mesoscale and its mass sensitivity is evaluated and reported in this paper.
期刊介绍:
Sensor Review publishes peer reviewed state-of-the-art articles and specially commissioned technology reviews. Each issue of this multidisciplinary journal includes high quality original content covering all aspects of sensors and their applications, and reflecting the most interesting and strategically important research and development activities from around the world. Because of this, readers can stay at the very forefront of high technology sensor developments.
