Description
Summary:An interdigital transducer structure was fabricated from multilayer graphene on the surface of the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>Y</mi><mi>Z</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>-cut of a LiNbO<sub>3</sub> ferroelectric crystal. The multilayer graphene was prepared by CVD method and transferred onto the surface of the LiNbO<sub>3</sub> substrate. The properties of the multilayer graphene film were studied by Raman spectroscopy. A multilayer graphene (MLG) interdigital transducer (IDT) structure for surface acoustic wave (SAW) excitation with a wavelength of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mo>Λ</mo><mo>=</mo><mn>60</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> μm was fabricated on the surface of the LiNbO<sub>3</sub> crystal using electron beam lithography (EBL) and plasma chemical etching. The amplitude–frequency response of the SAW delay time line was measured. The process of SAW excitation by graphene IDT was visualized by scanning electron microscopy. It was demonstrated that the increase in the SAW velocity using graphene was related to the minimization of the IDT mass.
