Abstract: A liquid-facing crystal surface of a crystal of a quartz crystal microbalance assembly is flush mounted with respect to an inner surface of a wall of a laboratory-scale equipment for purposes of measuring particle deposition from a liquid under high shear conditions. The side(s) of the crystal does not bond with a side wall of a hole formed in the wall of the equipment or with a side wall of a housing or support member, so as to allow un-impeded shear oscillation of a liquid-facing crystal surface relative to a dry-facing crystal surface of the crystal in a thickness shear mode of operation.

Abstract: A fluidic device includes at least one bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator structure with a functionalized active region, and at least one first (inlet) port defined through a cover structure arranged over a fluidic passage containing the active region. At least a portion of the at least one inlet port is registered with the active region, permitting fluid to be introduced in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the active region bearing functionalization material. Such arrangement promotes mixing proximate to a BAW resonator structure surface, thereby reducing analyte stratification, increasing analyte binding rate, and reducing measurement time.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating a bulk acoustic wave resonator structure for a fluidic device. The methods can include a first step of disposing a first conductive material over a portion of a first surface of a substrate to form at least a portion of a first electrode, the substrate having a second surface opposite the first surface. Then, a piezoelectric material may be disposed over the first electrode. Next, a second conductive material can be disposed over the piezoelectric material to form at least a portion of a second electrode. The second conductive material extends substantially parallel to the first surface of the substrate and the second conductive material at least partially extends over the first conductive material. The overlapping region of the first conductive material, the piezoelectric material, and the second conductive material form a bulk acoustic wave resonator, the bulk acoustic wave resonator having a first side and an opposing second side. An acoustic energy management structure is then disposed over a first side of the bulk acoustic wave resonator. Next a third conductive material is disposed over a portion of the second conductive material that extends beyond the bulk acoustic wave resonator, wherein the third conductive material forms an interconnect extending above the acoustic energy management structure in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first surface of the substrate. Finally a portion of the second surface of the substrate is removed to expose a chemical mechanical connection at the first electrode at a second side of the bulk wave acoustic resonator. Devices formed thereby are also included.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods and devices that assist in forming biosensors. Specifically, features that align solutions containing molecules to be immobilized on biosensors. A retaining structure may be disposed at least partially around a target surface of a substrate. A resonating structure may be disposed on the target surface. A droplet of functionalized material may be disposed on the resonating structure and the target surface, which may be auto-aligned and retained by the retaining structure on the target surface to consistently cover the resonating structure.

Abstract: A micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) resonator device includes at least one functionalization material arranged over at least a central portion, but less than an entirety, of a top side electrode. For an active region exhibiting greatest sensitivity at a center point and reduced sensitivity along its periphery, omitting functionalization material over at least one peripheral portion of a resonator active region prevents analyte binding in regions of lowest sensitivity. The at least one functionalization material extends a maximum length in a range of from about 20% to about 95% of an active area length and extends a maximum width in a range of from about 50% to 100% of an active area width. Methods for fabricating MEMS resonator devices are also provided.
