In this paper, a laterally resonating gravimetric sensor with high linearity and uniform mass sensitivity is presented for biochemical sensor applications including rare-cell detection. The sensor utilizes symmetrically placed, balanced, folded spring beam structures to ensure lateral motion of the proof mass and limit the displacement difference between the proof mass center and edges. The dynamic mass sensitivity range of the resonator is increased by using the above mentioned properties of the resonators. It has been experimentally verified that the standard deviation in resonance frequency shift is 1.9% for different capture sites. It has also been experimentally shown that the sensors behave highly linearly for mass loads between 13 pg and 2700 pg.

A CMOS visible image sensor array using current mirroring integration readout circuitry Akbay, Selim Sermet; Bircan, A.; Akın, Tayfun (null; 2000-08-30) This paper reports the development of a CMOS visible sensor array using a high performance readout circuit called Current Mirroring Integration (CMI). The sensor element is a photodiode implemented using n-well and p+ -active layers available in any CMOS process. The current generated by optical excitation is mirrored and integrated in an off-pixel capacitor using the CMI readout circuit, which provides high injection efficiency, low input impedance, almost-zero and stable detector bias, and a high dynamic ...
A low-power robust humidity sensor in a standard CMOS process Okcan, Burak; Akın, Tayfun (2007-11-01) This paper presents a low-cost thermal-conductivity-based humidity sensor implemented using a 0.6-mu m CMOS process, where suspended p-n junction diodes are used as the humidity-sensitive elements. The measurement method uses the difference between the thermal conductivities of air and water vapor at high temperatures by comparing the output voltages of two hea ted and thermally isolated diodes; one of which is exposed to the environment and has a humidity-dependent thermal conductance, while the other is s...
A PARYLENE BONDING BASED FABRICATION METHOD FOR GRAVIMETRIC RESONANT BASED MASS SENSORS Gokce, Furkan; Aydın, Eren; Kangül, Mustafa; Toral, Taylan B.; Zorlu, Ozge; Sardan-Sukas, Ozlem; Külah, Haluk (2017-06-22) In this study, a fabrication method utilizing parylene bonding for gravimetric resonant based mass sensors is presented. First, parylene bonding was experimentally tested and compared with the literature. Average shear strength was measured as 16.3 MPa (sigma=3MPa). Then, resonators located on top of a microchannel for real-time detection were fabricated using the presented method. Simulations and experiments verify proper operation of the fabricated resonators, and the applicability of the method for fabri...
An array of square plate resonators with adjustable resonance frequency Polat, Halim; Azgın, Kıvanç; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-19) In this study, a MEMS square plate resonator with adjustable resonance frequency is designed, mathematically modelled and verified with finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments. Resonance frequency of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) square plate is adjusted with the help of several cutouts which are placed in unique lines like center lines and nodal lines. First of all, plates are modelled with the help of semi-analytic method called Rayleigh-Ritz method for the 1st and 2nd modes since higher mode...
A Capacitive MEMS Accelerometer Readout with Concurrent Detection and Feedback Using Discrete Components Terzioglu, Yunus; Alper, Said Emre; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (2014-05-08) This paper presents an analog readout method for capacitive MEMS accelerometers in which the feedback actuation and capacitive detection are achieved simultaneously on the same electrode set. The presented circuit operates in closed-loop for improved linearity, and it is constructed in a hybrid platform package in which off-the-shelf discrete components are used together with the silicon-on-glass micro-accelerometer. The system is developed as a practical solution to reduce the complexity of the readout cir...
