摘要:
A semiconductor device having excellent crystallinity and excellent electric characteristics includes a ZnO thin film having excellent surface smoothness. ZnO-based thin films (an n-type contact layer, an n-type clad layer, an active layer, a p-type clad layer, and a p-type contact layer) primarily including ZnO are formed sequentially by an ECR sputtering method or other suitable method on a zinc-polar surface of a ZnO substrate. A transparent electrode and a p-side electrode are formed by an evaporation method or other suitable method on a surface of the p-type contact layer, and an n-side electrode is formed on an oxygen-polar surface of the ZnO substrate.

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.

A method for fabricating an acoustic wave device includes the steps of forming an insulating material layer on a piezoelectric substrate, forming a patterned photoresist on the insulating material layer, patterning the insulating material layer, and forming a piezoelectric-substrate exposed depression corresponding to a region where an interdigital transducer electrode is to be formed on a first insulator layer composed of the insulating material layer, depositing a metallic material on the piezoelectric substrate to form the interdigital transducer electrode in the piezoelectric-substrate exposed depression such that the overall interdigital transducer electrode is thinner than the first insulator layer and coating the photoresist with a metallic material, removing the photoresist and the metallic material on the photoresist, and depositing a second insulator layer so as to cover the interdigital transducer electrode and the first insulator layer.

A sensor for detecting a substance in liquid includes a sensing circuit including a sensing surface acoustic wave (SAW) element in which a reaction film to react with a substance in liquid, a reference circuit including a reference SAW element including an IDT and not including a reaction film, a first signal source driving the sensing circuit, a second signal source driving the reference circuit and being independent of the first signal source, and a differential circuit arranged to output a differential output between an output of the sensing circuit and an output of the reference circuit. The frequency of a first frequency signal output from the first signal source is different from the frequency of a second frequency signal output from the second signal source, thereby making a driving frequency for the sensing SAW element and a driving frequency for the reference SAW element substantially the same as or different from one another.

In addition, a second SiO2 layer disposed so as to cover the electrode and the first SiO2 layer and a silicon nitride compound layer disposed on the second SiO2 layer are further provided.
摘要:
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.
