The objective of this work is to utilise Focused Ion Beam (FIB) fabrication technology to manufacture a MEMS/NEMS device for mass/chemical sensor. The device is made out of Si3N4 membrane of 200 nm thickness. The design is shown in Fig 1. The device is to be working in dynamic mode (shift in resonant frequency upon mass addition). MathCAD and ABACUS FEA packages are used to predict the characteristic properties of the device. This work reports the design, analysis and initial stages of manufacturing this device. | | ISBN: | 0-9767985-1-4 |
