Wafer-scale integration of α-quartz thin films towards super high frequency piezoelectric bioNEMS for arbovirus detection

Résumé

Micro and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), especially piezoelectric resonators, offer a promising strategy for the manufacturing of point-of-care devices providing rapid, sensitive, and field-deployable tests with minimal user training for the diagnostic of viral infections. High-frequency (HF) MEMS/NEMS have the potential for ultrasensible massloading devices. Yet, their use for biomedical applications requires challenging manufacturing qualities. Here, we develop a large-scale chemical integration of epitaxial α-quartz (100) thin films on silicon wafers up to 4-inches. This methodology allows the microfabrication of waferscale piezoelectric α-quartz/silicon bioMEMS using a recognition layer capable of selectively detecting emerging arboviruses over other viral loads. Using contact-free vibrometry, we show a mass sensitivity of the bioMEMS device of 22.4 pg/Hz in liquid conditions and a Chikungunya virus limit of detection of 9 ng/ml. To reach piezoelectric transduction for compact quartz sensor devices, we develop NEMS resonators at super HF, i.e., 17.8 GHz with a quality factor of 280 which represents a QxF product of 4.98.1012. These α-quartz NEMS can reach thicknesses between 100 and 800 nm and lateral dimensions up to 9 mm2. Our work opens the door for cost-efficient single-chip epitaxial piezoelectric α-quartz/Si ultrasensitive NEMS sensors manufactured exclusively by soft-chemistry for biomedical applications and many other fields.
