Operation of Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) Devices

       
    THICKNESS SHEAR MODE (TSM)

For the BAW device, or more specifically an AT cut Thickness Shear Mode (TSM) device, we can see that the thickness shear vibration is in the plane of the crystal plate with the maximum displacements occurring on the crystal faces. Read More

      GAS SENSING

Application of the BAW device as a gas sensor is achieved by placing a gas specific sensing film on the surface of the device. Read More

      LIQUID SENSING

Application as a liquid sensor can be achieved with a sensing film or by direct contact of the liquid onto the surface of the BAW device. Read More

   
 
 
    HIGH FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY (HFF) INVERTED MESA CRYSTALS

More sensor research is being done using high fundamental frequency (HFF) Inverted Mesa Crystals. The HFF resonator is also a thickness shear mode (TSM) like the other BAW devices discussed. Read More
