  • Title: Iridium interdigital transducers for high-temperature surface acoustic wave applications.
    Author: Aubert T, Bardong J, Elmazria O, Bruckner G, Assouar B.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control; 2012 Feb; 59(2):194-7. PubMed ID: 24626026.
    Abstract:
    Iridium is investigated as a potential metal for interdigital transducers (IDTs) in SAW devices operating at high temperatures. SAW delay lines based on such IDTs and langasite (LGS) substrate are fabricated and electrically characterized. The results show reliable frequency responses up to 1000°C. The strong increase of insertion losses beyond this temperature, leading to the vanishing of the signal between 1140 and 1200°C, is attributed to surface transformation of the LGS crystal, consisting of relevant gallium and oxygen losses, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy.
