The design of piezoelectrically actuated plano-convex shaped resonators has been studied to optimize their Q-factor and signal spectrum at high temperatures. The investigated arrays of thickness-shear-mode (TSM) resonators consist of langasite, a high temperature stable material. As viscoelastic damping and an increasing conductivity decreases the Q-factor at elevated temperatures, design optimizations...
The application of bulk acoustic resonators as gravimetric sensors enables high-temperature gas sensing provided that (1) the materials used withstand high temperatures and (2) the transducers are highly sensitive and selective. The former is realized by application of the high-temperature stable piezoelectric material langasite (La3Ga5SiO14). The focus of this work is the improvement of the sensitivity...
The design of piezoelectrically actuated plano-convex shaped resonators in lanthanum gallium silicate (langasite, LGS) was investigated and improved by finite element simulations. Especially effects of shape and clamping were simulated. Further, devices that demonstrate the working principle have been fabricated. The membrane arrays have shown operating temperatures of more than 700degC and are applied...
Piezoelectrically actuated plano-convex thickness shear mode (TSM) resonators in lanthanum gallium silicate (langasite, LGS) were fabricated. As main fabrication steps a wet etching process and a dry etching process were developed and furthermore graytone-lithography in combination with photoresist melting has been applied. The plano-convex shape is necessary to improve the Q- factor of the devices...
