N2 - In this paper, we first report the microchemical sensor application of differential-mode Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (TFBARs) for Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) detection. Using the micro heater element, the membrane temperature of TFBARs can be increased up to 250°C. Generally, VOCs are decomposed to CO and CO2 at the temperature of above 200°C, the additional reference oscillator without VOC adsorption can be simply realized by heating the membrane. The RF signal mixer is used to determine the shift in oscillation frequency between sensing and reference oscillators. The frequency responses and sensitivities to benzene, ethanol, and formaldehyde are tested and presented, respectively.
