Quartz Crystal Resonator Mass Loading

Abstract

Ongoing work aimed at determining the physical properties of cultured quartz material from frequency measurements of bulk wave resonators has highlighted the need for accurate means of measuring the mass loading due to the electrodes. In this report, various methods of determining electrode mass loading are presented, and measurements of mass loading using several of these techniques are compared. Variations between the values of mass loading obtained by the various techniques are discussed and a model is proposed to explain the various differences. (rrh)
