Definitions
- the invention relates to a sensor arrangement for determining the density and viscosity of liquids and a method for carrying out this determination according to the preamble of the main claim.
- the mass of a known liquid volume is determined with simple measuring arrangements in a density measurement.
- the resonance detuning for determining the density in a tube through which the liquid under investigation flows can be determined and evaluated in an acoustic measuring arrangement.
- the so-called rotary viscometry and falling ball viscometry can be used as well-known measurement methods. All of the methods mentioned have in common that the two measured variables, density and viscosity, must be determined using different devices, each of which requires a large amount of space, with high demands on the measuring accuracy. are very intensive and require relatively large volumes of liquid for measurement.
- SA sensors surface acoustic wave sensors
- sensors that work by exploiting an interaction between the propagation distance of a surface acoustic wave or a bulk wave and the liquid to be examined
- sensors whose transducers consist of resonant vibrating microstructures .
- the generic sensor arrangement is based on a known measuring principle, which is described, for example, in the article "A study of love-wave acoustic sensors", J.Du, GLHardling, PROgilvy and M.Lake in the specialist journal Sensors and Actuators A5 ⁇ (1996), pages 211 to 219.
- a sensor is implemented in which horizontally polarized acoustic shear waves are used as surface waves, so-called leak waves (leaky waves) or Surface skimming bulk wave (SSBW waves) or love waves.
- leak waves leaky waves
- SSBW waves Surface skimming bulk wave
- interdigital transducers which are also known per se from the prior art mentioned above, so that the desired sensor signal can be obtained from the propagation behavior on a propagation or measurement path.
- This sensor arrangement according to the invention advantageously allows a separate measurement of the density and viscosity of a liquid in a measurement setup with a high measurement accuracy by utilizing the influence of additional disturbances in a propagation path for the acoustic waves, which are introduced specifically on the sensor surface of a sensor base element.
- a density-viscosity product can be detected when measuring with Love wave modes.
- a viscosity and density sensor with a so-called quartz microbalance for measuring with bulk waves, ie not with surface waves, is known, in which similar disturbances are arranged in the form of liquid traps.
- QCM - quartz crystal microbalance quartz microbalance
- similar disturbances are arranged in the form of liquid traps.
- this is in the article "Measuring Liquid Properties with Smooth and Textured-Surface Resonators", SJMartin et al. From IEEE 1993 International Freguency Control Symposium, pages 603 to 608.
- the surface of one transducer is provided with walls of metal, for example gold, oriented perpendicular to the direction of vibration. The pockets between the walls serve as liquid traps, the liquid therein carrying out the oscillatory movement regardless of its viscosity.
- This known quartz microbalance is a Dickerscherschwinger, which is excited by flat electrodes using the inverse piezoelectric effect. Since there is no direct radiation of acoustic energy in a liquid phase due to the shear movement, because shear modes cannot propagate in liquids, the QCM is also suitable for liquid analysis. Here, a change in resonance frequency is frequently measured by mass accumulation, the QCM serving as the frequency-determining element in an oscillator circuit.
- the effect is advantageously exploited that, in addition, in viscous liquids there is a frequency shift due to viscosity and density of the liquid due to viscous coupling.
- This can be used to determine the density-viscosity product of the liquid, but in addition the density influence from the viscosity influence can also be separated with the structure proposed according to the invention, and so both variables can be measured independently of one another.
- At least two basic sensor elements operated in parallel in their construction are advantageously used, and the advantages can be exploited when using surface waves, in particular SSB waves or Love waves. These are mainly ne high measurement sensitivity, the use of transducer electrodes protected against the liquid, an inert surface and a low cross sensitivity.
- the arrangement according to the invention can dispense with the galvanic attachment of gold and the sensor arrangement as a whole can be produced in a semiconductor-compatible manufacturing process. Since the gold used in the known arrangement with QCMs has a very high density compared to the liquid, the structure according to the invention, the materials of which are closer to the density of the liquid, can also be used to increase the measuring sensitivity.
- a measurement signal that is easy to process can be obtained in a simple manner by evaluating frequency shifts.
- the frequency shifts of the basic sensor element with the liquid traps show a dependency that is only given by the density of the liquid and the effective volume of the liquid traps. If the frequency shifts of the two basic sensor elements are linked to each other, the density and viscosity of the measuring liquid can be determined separately.
- the present invention proposes a microsensor with which the determination of density and viscosity of liquid volumes in the ml range is possible with high resolution and measuring accuracy.
- This sensor can be produced inexpensively using batch processes suitable for mass production, using methods known from semiconductor production.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a sensor arrangement for determining the density and the viscosity of a liquid flowing through the sensor arrangement
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of an interdigital transducer for generating and detecting acoustic waves
- FIGS. 3 to 5 arrangement variants of the interdigital transducers according to FIG. 2;
- FIGS. 6 to 8 sections through a substrate of the sensor arrangement with different designs of the coating;
- FIG. 9 shows a detailed top view of two propagation distances of the measuring liquid in the sensor arrangement
- FIG. 10 shows a basic circuit diagram of an evaluation circuit coupled to the sensor arrangement
- FIG. 11 shows an evaluation circuit that is expanded compared to FIG. 10.
- the main component of the proposed sensor arrangement 1 is a substrate 5, polished on one side, made of a piezoelectric material, in which horizontally polarized acoustic shear modes of basic sensor elements can be excited and propagated.
- Suitable substrate materials are Y-rotated quartz cuts, some lithium ni- obate and lithium tantalate cuts as well as appropriately polarized piezoelectric ceramics.
- interdigital transducers 6 are located on the polished surface of the substrate 5 and is explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.
- These interdigital transducers 6 are made, for example, of aluminum, titanium, chromium, gold or platinum. if on an adhesive layer made of titanium or silicon and serve to excite and detect the acoustic surface waves.
- FIG. 2 shows one of the interdigital transducers 6 in detail, wherein transducer fingers 7 can generate acoustic waves with the wavelength 8 (center frequency) when excited by an electrical voltage at an input 9. This creates a surface acoustic wave, i.e. in particular a shear wave in the polarization direction of arrow 11, with the aperture according to arrow 12.
- the transducer fingers 7 can also be divided into two single fingers or split fingers within the period, so that ⁇ / 8 fingers are formed. There is a factor of two between the electrical and the mechanical period, so that elimination or at least a reduction of internal reflections and the so-called trip transit echo (TTE) can be achieved.
- TTE trip transit echo
- the arrangement of the interdigital transducers 6 in the sensor arrangement 1 according to FIG. 1 can be carried out according to the exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 3 to 5.
- FIG. 3 as a delay line with a transmit IDT 6a, a propagation path 13 and a receive IDT 6b or according to FIG. 4 as a two-port or according to FIG. 5 as a single-gate resonator with one or two IDT 6 and with reflector banks 14 his.
- the sensor arrangement 1 according to FIG. 1 contains two basic elements arranged parallel to one another with the interdigital transducers 6, although a third parallel sensor basic element (not shown with the aid of this figure) can also be arranged for easier evaluation and improved temperature compensation of the measurement signals. Furthermore, in the embodiment 1, a meandering thin-film temperature resistor 15 is arranged next to or between the basic elements with the IDT 6 on the surface of the substrate 5, since in particular the viscosity is strongly temperature-dependent and the temperature therefore represents a further important measurement variable.
- the material for the thin-film temperature resistor 15 is here advantageously the material as for the IDT 6, namely titanium / platinum or titanium / platinum / titanium, the adhesive layer being either titanium or silicon.
- An acoustic waveguide layer 16 is arranged on the substrate 5 according to FIG. 1 above the basic elements with the IDT 6.
- waveguide mode here a love wave.
- mechanical disturbances in the form of liquid traps 17 are arranged above a base element with the IDT 6, within which the acoustic wave cannot propagate due to the mechanical inhomogeneity.
- the area in front of, above and between the respective interdigital transducers 6 is provided with the ridges 18 oriented parallel to the direction of propagation of the acoustic wave, the geometrical arrangement possibilities of which are explained with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8 or in the top view according to FIG. 9.
- These liquid traps 17 can be produced here as trenches 22 by appropriate structuring of a layer 20 located above the interdigital transducer 6, as shown in FIG. 6 or, as not shown, as pits or sponges. Between the layer 20 and the IDT 6 can a further intermediate layer 21 may be provided to improve the adhesion and / or to protect the IDT 6. In the arrangement according to FIG. 6, the so-called leaky waves or SSB waves are used.
- the liquid traps according to FIG. 7 can also be produced directly by introducing trench-like etchings 22 into a waveguide layer 23 which otherwise corresponds to the waveguide layer 16 according to FIG. 1.
- the thickness of the waveguide layer 23 above the second, parallel basic element with the IDT 6 without the liquid traps can be reduced to such an extent that the same sensitivity of both basic elements is achieved.
- Another method of producing liquid traps 17 or trenches 22 for waves of the love mode type shown in FIG. 8 consists in the application and subsequent structuring of a further liquid trap layer 25 above the acoustic waveguide layer 23, possibly also using an additional intermediate layer 21 as an adhesion promoter and / or as an etch stop layer similar to the example according to FIG. 6. In this way, the reproducibility of the trench depth is improved.
- liquid traps 17 can take place by arranging pits with a circular or polygonal cross section or a sponge-like surface structure, as mentioned above.
- a thin metallic shielding layer 26 which can be a few nm to 100 nm thick, can be provided above the liquid traps to shield unwanted acoustoelectric interactions between the measuring liquid and the sensor arrangement 1.
- the intermediate layer 21 can ßerde particularly advantageously be used simultaneously as an adhesion promoter and etch stop layer and as a shielding layer between the waveguide layer 23 and the liquid traps 22.
- a viscous coupling occurs, ie a thin layer of liquid on the surface of the sensor base element is forced to participate in the shear vibrations.
- the effective amount of vibrating layer of liquid depends directly on the viscosity and frequency.
- the viscous coupling causes a decrease in the propagation speed of the acoustic wave and an increase in the wave attenuation proportional to the root of the density-viscosity product.
- the speed of propagation is reduced by a second influence which is dependent on the liquid density and the liquid volume enclosed in the liquid traps 17.
- the change in the propagation speed can be measured, for example, if a basic sensor element, e.g. is used with the delay line according to FIG. 3 or the reflectors 14 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 as a frequency-determining element in an oscillator circuit.
- the change in the resonance frequency of such an oscillator is a measure of the change in speed of the shaft.
- FIG. 10 shows a basic embodiment of a circuit structure for determining the density and the viscosity of a measuring liquid with two oscillator circuits 30 and 31.
- the oscillator frequency f. of a basic element with the IDT 6 and liquid traps 17 in the first oscillator circuit 30 is with the oscillator frequency f 2 of the oscillator circuit 31 without Liquid traps mixed in a mixer 32, the mixing frequency ⁇ f at the output of a downstream low-pass filter 33 being a good approximation of the liquid density, since the viscous influence acting on both oscillator circuits 30 and 31 and any further disturbance variables are compensated for.
- the prerequisite here is that the sensitivity to viscous coupling is identical for both basic sensor elements.
- the viscosity of the measuring liquid can be determined using the circuit arrangement described, using the density determined from the shift in the frequency of the basic sensor element without liquid traps in the oscillator circuit 31 compared to the known frequency when the measuring arrangement is operating without a measuring liquid.
- the change in damping can also be used as a measurement variable.
- FIG. 11 A further, expanded exemplary embodiment of a circuit arrangement for recording the required measured variables is shown in FIG. 11.
- this circuit arrangement there is also an oscillator circuit 34 with a measuring section without the passage of the measuring liquid, so that this measuring section serves as a non-wetted reference element.
- This arrangement is particularly advantageous if, for technological reasons, the two sensor elements wetted with the measuring liquid do not have identical sensitivity to viscous interactions. In addition, possible component drifts are homogenized in this arrangement to improve long-term stability.
- the liquid density and the user density can be determined using the structure according to FIG. tion of the thus known liquid density from ⁇ f 2, the viscosity can be determined in the manner described above. Alternatively, the change in damping can also be used here as a measurement variable.
- a third embodiment not shown in the drawing, has two basic sensor elements, both of which are provided with liquid traps and one of which is in contact with the measuring liquid and one with air.
- the mixing frequency obtained here in an analogous manner to the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 9 to 11 is dependent on the density and the root of the density-viscosity product.
- the damping difference is also the measure of the root of the density-viscosity product, since a slight increase in mass due to the measuring liquid in the liquid traps causes a negligible change in damping.
- a damping measurement is therefore absolutely necessary, but it is advantageous that only two completely identical basic sensor elements are necessary, with the same sensitivity, drift and mechanical cross sensitivity.
