    摘要: A contour mode micromechanical piezoelectric resonator. The resonator has a bottom electrode; a top electrode; and a piezoelectric layer disposed between the bottom electrode and the top electrode. The piezoelectric resonator has a planar surface with a cantilevered periphery, dimensioned to undergo in-plane lateral displacement at the periphery. The resonator also includes means for applying an alternating electric field across the thickness of the piezoelectric resonator. The electric field is configured to cause the resonator to have a contour mode in-plane lateral displacement that is substantially in the plane of the planar surface of the resonator, wherein the fundamental frequency for the displacement of the piezoelectric resonator is set in part lithographically by the planar dimension of the bottom electrode, the top electrode or the piezoelectric layer.

    摘要: Systems and methods for operating piezoelectric switches are disclosed. A piezoelectric switching system includes a first actuator, a second actuator, and a bias voltage source. The first actuator has a first body electrode, a first gate electrode, and a first contact region. The second actuator has a second body electrode, a second gate electrode, and a second contact region. The first and second contact regions are separated by a gap. The bias voltage source applies a bias voltage to the body electrodes. The bias voltage is lower in magnitude than an actuation voltage for the switch. The gate electrodes receive a switching voltage. The switching voltage causes at least one of the first and second actuators to bend, thereby closing the gap such that the second contact region electrically contacts the first contact region. The difference between the switching voltage and the bias voltage exceeds the actuation voltage of the switch.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting a gaseous analyte utilize a micromechanical piezoelectric resonator having a functionalization layer configured to bind with the gaseous analyte. The functionalization layer may include a layer of carbon nanotubes affixed to the resonator and coated with biopolymers configured to bind with the gaseous analyte. The gaseous analyte may be detected by operating the micromechanical piezoelectric resonator and functionalization layer in the presence of the gas, detecting a change in the resonant frequency of the resonator, and determining the concentration of the gaseous analyte from the change in resonant frequency. Finally, the layer of carbon nanotubes may be grown on the piezoelectric resonator by depositing a catalyst on a piezoelectric structure, heating the piezoelectric structure and the catalyst to enhance the growth of the carbon nanotubes, and growing the carbon nanotubes at growth sites on the piezoelectric structure.
