摘要:
A surface acoustic wave sensor detects a mass load on a resonator-type surface acoustic wave filter on the basis of a change in frequency and includes an IDT electrode arranged on a piezoelectric substrate to excite surface waves, an insulating film arranged so as to cover the IDT electrode, and a reaction film which is disposed on the insulating film and which reacts with a target substance to be detected or a binding substance that binds to a target substance to be detected. The reaction film is composed of a metal or a metal oxide.

A surface wave sensor apparatus has a structure such that, on a first principal surface of a base substrate having first through-hole conductors, surface acoustic wave devices are bonded via thermo-compression anisotropic conductive sheets, on first principal surfaces of piezoelectric substrates of the surface acoustic wave devices, electrodes, such as IDTs, are provided, respectively. These electrodes extend toward second principal surfaces via second through-hole conductors and are provided in the piezoelectric substrates. The first through-hole conductors overlap with the second through-hole conductors with the thermo-compression anisotropic conductive sheets being disposed therebetween, respectively.

A surface-acoustic-wave-sensor-included oscillator circuit does not cause separation of an electrode film due to application of a bias voltage and can reliably accurate operate even if liquid is adhered thereto. The surface-acoustic-wave-sensor-included oscillator circuit includes interdigital electrode disposed on a piezoelectric substrate and a reaction film that is arranged so as to cover the interdigital electrodes and bound to a target substance or a binding material to be bound to the target substance. A surface acoustic wave sensor that is capable of detecting a bit of mass loading on the basis of a variation in frequency is connected as a resonator in the surface-acoustic-wave-sensor-included oscillator circuit. Direct-current cutting capacitors are connected in series to the surface acoustic wave sensor, and the direct-current cutting capacitors respectively define impedance matching circuits in the surface-acoustic-wave-sensor-included oscillator circuit.

A surface acoustic wave sensor for detecting a target substance by measuring the change in frequency due to the mass applied to a reaction membrane placed on a surface acoustic wave element has high sensitivity due to the improvement of the structure surface acoustic wave element. The surface acoustic wave sensor includes an SH-type surface acoustic wave and a rotated Y-cut LiTaO3 substrate having Euler angles (0°, 0° to 18°, 0°±5°) or (0°, 58° to 180°, 0°±5°), electrodes, principally containing Au, for exciting a surface acoustic wave, the electrodes being arranged on the LiTaO3 substrate, and a reaction membrane, bound to a target substance or a binding substance bound to the target substance, covering the electrodes arranged on the LiTaO3 substrate. The interdigital transducers have a normalized thickness of about 0.8% to about 9.5%, the normalized thickness being determined by normalizing the thickness of the interdigital transducers by the wavelength of the surface acoustic wave.

A Shear Horizontal-type end-surface-reflection-type surface acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate having end surfaces. The most appropriate positions of the end surfaces of the piezoelectric substrate are determined. Interdigital transducers are disposed on the main surface of the piezoelectric substrate having a comparatively low relative dielectric constant ∈11T (for example, a relative dielectric constant of about 40 or less). The positions of the end surfaces are determined so that the distance from the center of the second electrode finger, counting from the outermost side in the surface acoustic wave propagation direction among the interdigital transducers, to the end surfaces (end surfaces for reflecting the surface acoustic wave) of the piezoelectric substrate satisfy the relationship (N+⅝)λs≦L≦(N+⅞)λs, where λs is the wavelength of the surface acoustic wave, and N is 0 or a positive integer.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a surface acoustic wave apparatus decreases a specific resistance of an electrode film by removing hydrogen occluded in the electrode film that is primarily composed of tantalum, so that the device properties are stabilized. An electrode film primarily composed of tantalum is formed on a piezoelectric substrate. Subsequently, this electrode film is heat-treated in a vacuum at a temperature of about 200° C. to about 700° C. for several hours. Thereafter, the electrode film is patterned so as to produce an interdigital electrode transducer.

A electromagnetic relay in which bad electrical contact and failure of operation are prevented even when shavings are produced while an iron core is press-fitted into and mounted on a base. The electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic block supported by press-fitting both ends of an iron core of the electromagnetic block into an upper surface of a base and open or close a contact by a movable iron piece rotated by magnetization or demagnetization of the iron core with a coil, where shaving receptacles are made by forming separating ribs adjacent to at least one side of press-fit projections that are formed in press-fit concave portions provided on the upper surface of the base.
