Resum

A mass sensor based on thin-film bulk acoustic resonator, intended for biomolecular applications, is presented. The thin film is a (002) AlN membrane, sputtered over Ti/Pt on a (001) Si wafer, and released by surface micromachining of silicon. Two experiments are proposed to test the mass sensing performance of the resonators: (a) distributed loading with a MgF2 film by means of physical vapor deposition and (b) localized mass growing of a C/Pt/Ga composite using focused-ion-beam-assisted deposition, both on the top electrode. For the distributed and localized cases, the minimum detectable mass changes are 1.58×10-8 g/cm2 and 7×10-15g, respectively. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
