The resonance properties shear-horizontal surface acoustic waves on Ca3TaGa3Si2O14 (CTGS) with Au or Al interdigital transducers (IDTs) were investigated. IDT-type resonators were fabricated on CTGS (0°, 134° or 155°, 90°) using Au- or Al-IDT, and the strong resonance properties and near-zero temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) were measured at a certain electrode film thickness. From the measured and simulated results, an effective coupling factor of approximately 1.2% and zero TCF can be simultaneously obtained by using not only a high-density Au-IDT but also a conventional Al-IDT and by adjusting the cut angle and electrode film thickness. Moreover, the resonance properties on Au-IDT/CTGS were evaluated at temperatures up to 570 °C. From the cut-angle dependences of the frequency shift calculated using the determined second-order temperature coefficients of the elastic constants, the potential for sensor applications that measure not only temperature but also pressure in such high-temperature environments can be expected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
