Design and modelling of an impedance-based MEMS biosensor

This paper present the preliminary design of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator as a biosensor using COMSOL. The biosensor consists of a SAW resonator which utilizes mechanical acoustic waves as its sensing mechanism. The preliminary study was performed to...
