Abstract

A non-piezoelectric flexural plate wave apparatus having meander-line transducers mounted on a non-piezoelectric membrane. A static magnetic field is directed perpendicularly to the conductive legs of the transducers in the plane of the membrane. Single-port, two-port, resonant, non-resonant, eigenmode, and delay-line modes may be employed.

Method and apparatus for actively controlling a micro-scale flexural plate wave device

Patent Dohner, Jeffrey L. (Albuquerque, NM)

An actively controlled flexural plate wave device provides a micro-scale pump. A method of actively controlling a flexural plate wave device produces traveling waves in the device by coordinating the interaction of a magnetic field with actively controlled currents. An actively-controlled flexural plate wave device can be placed in a fluid channel and adapted for use as a micro-scale fluid pump to cool or drive micro-scale systems, for example, micro-chips, micro-electrical-mechanical devices, micro-fluid circuits, or micro-scale chemical analysis devices.

Magnetically-excited flexural plate wave device

Technical Report Butler, M.A.; Martin, S.J.; Spates, J.J.; ...

Novel devices have been designed, fabricated, and tested that use the Lorentz force to excite flexural plate waves in a silicon nitride membrane. Single and dual port devices have been fabricated and the excitation spectra measured. Eigenmodes of the membrane are excited in this resonant device and non-linear effects, due to amplitude stiffening of the membrane, are observed. The effects of temperature and ambient gas on resonant frequency and Q have been explored. These devices have the advantage of material compatibility with silicon process technology and are capable of operating at very high temperatures.

Magnetically-excited flexural plate wave resonator

Conference Martin, S.J.; Butler, M.A.; Spates, J.J.; ...

A flexural plate wave (FPW) resonator was constructed by patterning current lines on a silicon nitride membrane suspended on a rectangular silicon frame. Eigenmodes of the rectangular membrane were excited using Lorentz forces generated between alternating surface currents and a static in-plane magnetic field. The magnetic field strength required for these devices can be achieved with small permanent magnets ({approx} 1 cm{sup 3}). Preferential coupling to a particular membrane mode was achieved by positioning current lines along longitudinal mode antinodes. An equivalent-circuit model was derived that characterizes the input impedance of a one-port device and the transmission response of amore »« less

Development of Magnetically Excited Flexural Plate Wave Devices for Implementation as Physical, Chemical, and Acoustic Sensors, and as Integrated Micro-Pumps for Sensored Systems

Technical Report SCHUBERT, W KENT; MITCHELL, MARY-ANNE; GRAF, DARIN CLARENCE; ...

The magnetically excited flexural plate wave (mag-FPW) device has great promise as a versatile sensor platform. FPW's can have better sensitivity at lower operating frequencies than surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. Lower operating frequency (< 1 MHz for the FPW versus several hundred MHz to a few GHz for the SAW device) simplifies the control electronics and makes integration of sensor with electronics easier. Magnetic rather than piezoelectric excitation of the FPW greatly simplifies the device structure and processing by eliminating the need for piezoelectric thin films, also simplifying integration issues. The versatile mag-FPW resonator structure can potentially be configuredmore »« less
