Abstract

This paper reports a novel wireless love-wave biosensor on $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrate and $SiO_2$ guiding layer for Immunoglobulin G (IgG) detection by protein binding. Different from the traditional biosensors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillator structured by delay line/resonators, a 440MHz reflective delay line consists of SPUDTs and three reflectors placed on $41^{\circ}$ YX $LiNbO_3$ in a row was fabricated as the sensor element. Good linearity, reproducibility, and high sensitivity were observed in the IgG concentration range 1~65nM. Unique advantages as high sensitivity, passive and simple measurement system are present over currently available other biosensors.
