Abstract
A surface-micromachined micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) process has been used to demonstrate multiple-input chemical sensing using selectively coated cantilever arrays. Cantilever motion due to absorption-induced stres s was readout using a custom-designed, eight-channel integrated circuit. Co mbined hydrogen and mercury vapor detection was achieved with a palm-sized, self-powered module with spread-spectrum telemetry reporting. (C) 2000 Els evier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
