Organic Vapor Sensors Based on SAW Resonator and Organic Films

Dai Enguang, Feng Guanping, He Zhenhua, and Cui Dafu

ABSTRACT The majority of investigations of SAW devices used as chemical sensors are based on delay line oscillators. However, SAW resonator oscillator offers some advantages over the SAW delay line oscillator for its higher stability. In the incipient stage of fabricating gas sensors based upon SAW resonator, taking detection of organic vapor as an example, the analysis method that combines the SAW theory with organic film technology has been adopted to give an intensive insight into the responses of two-port SAW resonator coated with LB-film and cast-film after exposure to organic vapors.
