Abstract

A micromachined self-exited piezoelectric cantilever has been fabricated using PZT(52/48) thin film. For the application to biosensor using antigen-antibody interaction, electromechanical properties such as resonant frequency and quality factor of micromachined piezoelectric cantilever were important factors. Electromechanical properties and resonant behaviors of microfabricated cantilever were simulated by FEA (Finite Element Analysis) using Coventorware$^{TM}$2003. And these characterization of microcantilever were measured by using LDV(Laser Doppler Vibrometer) to compare with FEA data. We present the resonant frequency shift of micromachined piezoelectric cantilevers due to combination of mass loading and change of spring constant by gold deposition. Experimental mass sensitivities of microcantilever were characterized by Au deposition on the backside of microcantilever. Mass sensitivities with $100{\times}300$ ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ dimension cantilever from simulation and experimental were 5.56 Hz/ng and 16.8 Hz/ng respectively.y.
