Design and Simulation of a Fluidic Micro-Bio-Sensor Based on Resonator Array

Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, a fluidic biosensor with possibility to fabricate by Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology is proposed for biomedical mass detection and lab-on-chip applications. This is designed by electromechanical coupling of harmonic micromechanical resonators with harmonic springers as a mechanical resonator array. It can disperse mechanical wave along the array by electrostatic method using interdigitate capacitors as actuators and sensors. It has some vital advantages like: low cost fabrication method, low fluidic interference damping effect, and high sensitivity with large absorbent area. In order to estimate the sensitivity of the proposed biosensor against the mass perturbation, the measurability of capacitance changes and fluidic interference damping effect, the stimulated analysis is conducted by COMSOL. It results, a suitable sensitivity and possibility to measure the biosensor outputs by available electronic instrumentations.

Bio-Inspired Micro-Fluidic Angular-Rate Sensor for Vestibular Prostheses

This paper presents an alternative approach for angular-rate sensing based on the way that the natural vestibular semicircular canals operate, whereby the inertial mass of a fluid is used to deform a sensing structure upon rotation. The presented gyro has been fabricated in a commercially available MEMS process, which allows for microfluidic channels to be implemented in etched glass layers, wh...

Analytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array

In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
