Definitions
- the present invention relates to a surface acoustic wave sensor capable of measuring the properties of liquid or components contained in the liquid.
- the liquid may be any fluid as long as it has fluidity, and may have a high viscosity.
- a surface acoustic wave sensor that measures a property of a sample liquid or a component of the sample liquid using a surface acoustic wave element is known.
- a surface acoustic wave sensor includes a detection unit that reacts with components contained in a sample liquid on a piezoelectric substrate, and measures an electrical signal based on a surface acoustic wave (SAW: Surface ⁇ ⁇ Acoustic Wave) propagated through the detection unit. It detects the properties or components of the liquid.
- SAW Surface ⁇ ⁇ Acoustic Wave
- SAW is generated by an IDT electrode comprising a pair of comb-like electrodes provided on the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate.
- a technique of providing a sealing member that forms a sealed space on the IDT electrode is known (for example, Patent Document 1).
- the sealing member has a partition wall supported on the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate between the IDT electrode and the detection unit. Thereby, the flow of the sample liquid onto the IDT electrode is suppressed. Thus, conventionally, the flow of the sample liquid is controlled by the flow path wall.
- control of the flow of the sample liquid by the flow path wall causes various inconveniences.
- a partition located between the IDT electrode and the detection unit causes a SAW propagation loss when the SAW propagates from the IDT electrode to the detection unit.
- the sample liquid when allowed to flow on the IDT electrode and the flow channel wall is positioned outside the detection unit and the IDT electrode, the sample liquid is transmitted along the flow channel wall, so that the sample liquid is detected by the detection unit. It may flow on the IDT electrode prior to the top, and as a result, air bubbles may be generated on the detection unit.
- a surface acoustic wave sensor includes a piezoelectric substrate, a detection unit that is located on an upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate, detects a detection target included in a specimen, and the detection on the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate.
- a surface acoustic wave sensor comprising: a pair of IDT electrodes positioned across a section; and a cover that covers the detection section and the pair of IDT electrodes via a space; Includes a first region facing the detection unit, and a pair of second regions located on both sides of the detection unit and the pair of IDT electrodes with respect to the first region, The first region has a smaller contact angle with the specimen than the pair of second regions.
- the flow of the sample liquid can be suitably controlled.
- the specimen may include, for example, water or oil.
- the sample may be a solution or a sol.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a SAW sensor according to a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a disassembled perspective view of the SAW sensor of FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the sensor chip of the SAW sensor of FIG.
- FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the sensor chip of FIG. 3. It is a top view which shows the upper surface of the piezoelectric substrate of the sensor chip of FIG. 6A is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIa-VIa in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIb-VIb in FIG. 7A to 7D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for manufacturing the sensor chip of FIG.
- FIGS. 12A and 12B are cross-sectional views showing a SAW sensor according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. It is sectional drawing which shows the SAW sensor which concerns on the 6th Embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view explaining the modification of a channel shape.
- the SAW sensor may be either upward or downward, but for the sake of convenience, the orthogonal coordinate system xyz is defined below, and the positive side in the z direction is defined as the upper and lower surfaces for convenience. The following terms shall be used.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a SAW sensor 1 according to the first embodiment.
- the SAW sensor 1 is formed, for example, in a generally rectangular plate shape as a whole.
- the thickness is, for example, 0.5 mm to 3 mm
- the length in the x direction is, for example, 1 cm to 5 cm
- the length in the y direction is, for example, 1 cm to 3 cm.
- the SAW sensor 1 is provided with a first inflow port 3 for taking in the sample liquid and a plurality of terminals 5 used for input / output of electric signals.
- the first inflow port 3 is positioned at one end of a rectangle, for example, and the plurality of terminals 5 are positioned at the other end of the rectangle, for example.
- the SAW sensor 1 is attached to a reader (not shown) including an oscillation circuit and the like, for example.
- the mounting is performed, for example, by inserting the end of the SAW sensor 1 on the terminal 5 side into the slot of the reader. Then, the SAW sensor 1 changes the electrical signal input to any one of the plurality of terminals 5 from the reader in accordance with the property or component of the sample liquid taken in from the first inflow port 3.
- the SAW sensor 1 is, for example, a disposable sensor.
- the SAW sensor 1 has a base body 7 and a sensor chip 9 mounted on the base body 7.
- the sensor chip 9 substantially converts an electric signal corresponding to the sample liquid.
- the base 7 functions as a package that contributes to improving the handleability of the sensor chip 9 and the like.
- the base 7 is formed with the first inlet 3 described above and the flow path 11 for guiding the sample liquid taken in from the first inlet 3 to the sensor chip 9.
- the flow path 11 extends linearly from the first inlet 3 to the sensor chip 9.
- the base body 7 has the plurality of terminals 5 described above, and wirings 13 (see FIG. 2) for connecting the plurality of terminals 5 and the sensor chip 9.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the SAW sensor 1.
- the base body 7 includes, for example, a layered lower layer member 15, an intermediate layer member 17, and an upper layer member 19 that are stacked on each other.
- the lower layer member 15 has, for example, the same configuration as a printed wiring board.
- the insulating base 16 is composed mainly of resin or ceramic, for example.
- the planar shape of the insulating base 16 is the same as the planar shape of the entire SAW sensor 1, for example.

- the possibility that the adhesive used for bonding oozes out on the detection region 23a is reduced.
- the sample liquid does not come into contact with the partition wall, it is not necessary to perform a treatment for suppressing nonspecific adsorption on the partition wall. Since it is not necessary to secure an area where a partition wall can be disposed between the metal film 55 and the IDT electrode, it is easy to improve the detection accuracy by shortening the distance between the metal film 55 and the IDT electrode. .
- the thickness of the sample liquid is defined by the height of the space 29 (distance between the metal film 55 and the film 35), and the width of the sample liquid is defined by the width of the film 35, and therefore exists in the detection region 23a.

- the sample liquid travels on the inner wall of the flow path 11 or the space 29, so that the sample liquid is detected by the detection unit facing surface 25b. It may flow on the IDT electrode prior to the top, and as a result, air bubbles may be generated on the detection unit.
- the generation of such bubbles is suppressed by making the contact angle with the sample liquid on the detection portion facing surface 25b smaller than that on the electrode facing surface 25a so that the sample solution flows preferentially on the detection portion.
