Abstract
We report a thin film Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) on Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) based microcantilever for fluid dynamic viscosity (ηfluid) sensing using optical and electrical characterization schemes. The viscosity of the medium is modulated by adding glycerol to deionized (DI) water. The measurements are carried over a viscosity range of 0.98-24.24 cP, which covers the operational range for biomedical applications. The fundamental cantilever mode yields a quality factor (Q) of 630 and 15 in air and DI water, respectively, whilst the second mode exhibits a Q of 840 and 30 in air and DI water, respectively. Sensor characterization using Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) shows a power law relation between Q and ηfluid (Q = aηfluidb). A high relative responsivity of 0.38 and 0.41 with respect to ηfluid is observed for the first and second flexural modes of the microcantilever, respectively. These results indicate the development of a good platform for on-chip viscosity measurements for biomedical and industrial applications. © 2023 IEEE.
