研究目的
To study the physical model of the IDEs-based sensor and concern with its geometrical parameters (gap sizes, number of fingers and width of fingers) based on finite element simulations to find the optimum design for improved sensitivity.
研究成果
The simulation results indicate that smaller gap sizes and smaller widths of fingers significantly enhance the electric field magnitude, leading to improved IDE performance. The optimum design has 18 fingers, 0.1 mm gap size, and 0.1 mm finger width, generating an average electric field of 30.6 kV/m. Future work should involve experimental validation and exploration of different IDE shapes.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics and does not include experimental validation with fabricated sensors. It focuses only on geometric parameters and does not consider other factors like sensing materials or environmental conditions.
