Outline of Final Research Achievements

The fabrication process of VOx mechanical resonators was established: then, the VOx resonator was fabricated and evaluated the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCRF) and Q factor (TCRF:-1308 ppm/K, Q: approximately 500). To obtain the high TCRF which is important parameter for high thermal sensitivity, a microfluidic chip thermal detection device having Si double-supported resonator was fabricated and evaluated (TCRF: 1900 ppm/K, thermal resolution: 79uK&1.90nW). The thermal measurements of a brown fat cell was succeeded using this device. Also, the thermal detection device using a VOx microthermistor was fabricated and evaluated (thermal resolution: 0.3mK/√Hz). The device could detect the heat generation of glucose and cholesterol solutions. The minimum detectable concentration was 30,15uM/√Hz in glucose and cholesterol, respectively.
