Description

Tracing method for sensing quality value of quartz crystal microbalance by using hard film method and mass comparison method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of tracing of sensing quality values of quartz crystal microbalances, in particular to a tracing method of sensing quality values of quartz crystal microbalances by using a hard film method and a mass comparison method.
Background
At present, in the process of transferring tiny mass values in China, the mass values with the mass less than 1 kg are needed to be obtained through a component comparison method; when the quality value is subjected to the component comparison and transmission process every time, the relative uncertainty generated by various reasons is remarkably accumulated step by step; for a mass of 1 kg, the relative uncertainty in the measurement of the current mass value is 2×10 -8 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the When the mass is transferred to milligram magnitude by the component comparison method, the relative uncertainty is increased to 2500 times of the relative uncertainty of 1 kilogram; if the component comparison is performed on smaller mass values, the relative uncertainty will be greater; while uncertainty may reach 10 when the mass value is transferred to the order of 1 nanogram by the component comparison method -12 The kg, i.e. the magnitude of uncertainty, corresponds to 1 nanogram per se; at present, the traceability of the prior art in China to the tiny quality is 50 mug;
quartz crystal microbalance (Quartz Crystal Microbalance, QCM for short) is widely used in the fields of physics and chemistry, life sciences, environmental sciences, aerospace, medical sciences and environmental sciences; the device is developed at the end of the 50 th century of the last 20 th century, is a high-sensitivity quality detection instrument, has the measurement precision of up to the level of nanograms, is 1000 times higher than an electronic balance with the sensitivity of microgram level, and can theoretically detect the quality change equivalent to a fraction of a monolayer or an atomic layer; the quartz crystal microbalance is constructed based on the piezoelectric effect principle of quartz crystals, and converts the tiny mass change delta m of the surface of a quartz crystal electrode into the frequency change delta f of an electric signal output by a quartz crystal oscillating circuit, so that a theoretical model is combined, and high-precision detection data are obtained through other auxiliary equipment such as a computer; based on the mass value measurement principle of QCM, the quantitative analysis of QCM mass measurement results depends on a theoretical model to a great extent, that is to say, the corresponding relation between Deltam and Deltaf cannot be directly traced to the international system of units;
the tracing method of the quartz crystal microbalance sensing quality value in the prior art mainly comprises the step that researchers such as Stambaugh and the like of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) propose a tracing method of QCM sensing quality value by an EFB method; in the foreign prior art, a film is coated on a QCM quartz crystal oscillator wafer, and a high-precision quality comparator is used for determining the quality difference value of the quartz crystal oscillator wafer before and after the film coating to obtain the corresponding relation between the quality increment on the crystal oscillator wafer and the resonance frequency offset of the QCM crystal oscillator wafer;
the corresponding relation between the coating quality increment measured by the QCM method and the crystal oscillator piece resonance frequency offset caused by the coating quality increment is primarily linked to the international system of units in the foreign prior art; the foreign prior art achieves calibration of QCM in the mass increment range of 16.87 μg to 1044.26 μg from the results; and E is used in the process of comparing the reference quality of the real objects 1 The grade real object reference weight is calibrated by an electrostatic force balance (Electrostatic Force Balance, EFB for short) which can trace to the Planck constant h; the relation between the mass increment on the QCM quartz crystal oscillator plate and the corresponding crystal oscillator plate resonant frequency offset can be traced to the Planckian constant through the mass value by a short path in the foreign prior art;
the prior art has the defects that the traditional mass comparison method relies on a physical mass reference weight and a standard weight for mass value measurement, but for mass values below 20 mug, the electrostatic force effect of the weight is dominant gradually along with the reduction of the mass; therefore, for mass values below 20 mug, tracing cannot be performed by using a real standard weight and a mass comparison method;
the implementation of the foreign prior art depends on an EFB device to a great extent, the EFB device is not a device which can be provided by each metering mechanism and a laboratory, the construction and maintenance cost of equipment is high, and inconvenience is easily caused to tracing the QCM sensing quality value; the quality value traced by the EFB device is not compared with the traditional quality value tracing method;
in addition, the tracing method for the QCM sensing quality value, which is proposed by NIST in the United states, only realizes tracing of QCM in the quality increment range of 16.87-1044.26 mug, and can not meet the tracing of smaller QCM crystal oscillator quality increment.
Therefore, those skilled in the art have been working to develop a method for tracing the sensing quality value of a quartz crystal microbalance using a hard film method and a mass comparison method, aiming at solving the problems of the prior art.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention aims to solve the technical problem that in the prior art, the quality value measurement by the traditional quality comparison method depends on the physical quality reference weight and the standard weight, and for the quality value below 20 μg, the tracing cannot be performed by using the physical standard weight and the quality comparison method; the tracing method of QCM sensing quality value proposed by NIST in the United states depends on the EFB device to a great extent, and the quality value traced by the EFB device is not compared with the traditional quality value tracing method; moreover, the tracing method proposed by NIST in the United states only realizes tracing of QCM in the mass increment range of 16.87-1044.26 mug, and cannot meet the tracing of the mass increment of smaller QCM crystal oscillator.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention provides a tracing method for sensing quality values of a quartz crystal microbalance by using a hard film method and a mass comparison method, which comprises the following steps:
