Abstract
The application of quartz-crystal resonators for materials science is based on the dependence of acoustic-wave propagation on the film shear modulus and density. In contrast to the well-known chemical-sensor ap plications, the shear modulus determination of a thin film needs a com plete electrical impedance (or admittance) analysis and a complex fitt ing procedure of the measured responses. This contribution concentrate s on different error sources in the procedure to deter-mine shear para meters. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
