A single transistor oscillator based on an 18 MHz piezoelectric resonant nanochannel is presented as the first demonstration of MEMS acoustic resonators with integrated nanochannels connected to a compact and portable oscillator readout enabling the sensor operation in liquids. This result represents a breakthrough for MEMS resonators operated in liquids as these devices are the first of their kind to be directly connected to a compact electronic oscillator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
