In addition, acetone in exhaled breath is known to be good biomarker for non-invasive screening of diabetes. The most common used acetone vapor sensors are based on metal oxide semiconductor sensors, which work at higher temperatures, and hence consume more power. This paper reports MetalMUMPs device for acetone vapor sensing for environmental monitoring. The device is based on electrothermal actuation and capacitive sensing using differential capacitance measurement technique. MS3110 universal capacitive readout circuit was used to readout the small change of the static capacitance when the device is actuated using 0.71 Vrms with a driving frequency range of 0.5 kHz–8 kHz. The output signal of the circuit is given as a voltage and it can be directly related to the capacitance change. The output voltage change was found to increase linearly with increasing the acetone vapor concentration from 100 ppm to 500 ppm with a concentration sensitivity of 0.65 mV/ppm.","PeriodicalId":215909,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Regional Symposium on Micro and Nanoelectronics (RSM)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126141092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The device shows ambipolar curve and achieved minimum conductivity of 0.00012 A at Dirac point. However, the Dirac point shifts to the right and introduces significant change in the minimum conductivity as drain voltage bias is increased. This shows that external factors such as doping can influence the surface charges of the GFET and this property of graphene is crucial in ultrasensitive detection of analytes in biosensing applications.","PeriodicalId":215909,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Regional Symposium on Micro and Nanoelectronics (RSM)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129475354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precipitated CaCO3 dried by normal drying managed to eliminate all Nitrogen (N) whereas drying by hydrothermal method still has traces of N left. The polymorphs of the synthesized CaCO3 are mostly calcite with traces of vaterite present. Normal drying method produced smaller CaCO3 crystallite size of 64.9nm compared to hydrothermal drying method synthesized CaCO3 with crystallite size 93.2nm. Annealing temperature is inversely proportional to the crystallite size of the treated CaCO3. Smallest crystallite size of synthesized CaCO3 is 25.5nm dried by normal drying method at 500°C.

In this study, we also create a PDMS+glass microsphere composite as substitute to the PDMS substrate. The PDMS+glass inclusion reduces PDMS's relative permittivity and loss tangent to 1.9 and 0.014 respectively which could enhance antenna's performance. To overcome adhesiveness issue between Cu patch and PDMS substrate, the antenna was encapsulated with another thin layer of PDMS/PDMS+glass substrate of 0.6mm thickness to ensure a constant distance from the ground plane. CST software was used to simulate antenna resonance frequency prior to the fabrication. Measurements using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) showed that the PDMS substrate antennas resonated at 1.92 GHz (without encapsulation) and 2.34 GHz (with encapsulation) while the PDMS+glass substrate antennas resonated at 2.46 GHz (without encapsulation) and 2.25 GHz (with encapsulation) respectively.
