IDT, waste, and cut Citation: Mazalan, M.B.; Noor, A.M.; Wahab, Y.; Yahud, S.; Zaman, W.S.W.K. Current Development in Interdigital Transducer (IDT) Surface Acoustic Wave Devices for Live Cell In Vitro Studies: A Review. Micromachines 2022, 13, 30. https://doi.org/10.3390/mi13010030

I had some trouble getting the part to look exactly like this, so I made several variations of the IDT (ie. Flip, up, down, etc.) so that they could be placed in a similar format as intended. Something was not working with the scaling of the device on my local 3DuF, so I designed the one-sided IDT so that it appeared proportional when designing my device. Our hypothetical design parameters should be: finger width: 75 micrometer and period (perpendicular distance between one finger and another; depends on the needed wavelength but the size is 2mm by 5mm with thickness less than 1 mm). The cut also was not showing up to scale on the device, but I decided to keep this part designed to the correct scale (15 mm x 5 micrometers). I ran out of time to make the second cut exactly but it can easily be made by altering the sliding scales on 3DuF of Cut 1. Cut 2 should be 10mm X 5 micrometers. Both cuts should have a depth of 0.3mm. The paper did not specify the dimensions of the waste, so I made an educated guess. The paper gives information on how the IDT works in a separation process of reagents and the role the Cuts and the waste compartments play in this process.
