We generate traveling surface acoustic waves with an interdigital transducer to create droplets on-demand; encapsulate single cells; lyse cells and immediately encapsulate their contents; and pico-inject new materials into existing droplets.

The excitation, distribution, and interaction of surface acoustic waves (SAW) and pseudo surface acoustic waves (PSAW) in a X-cut lithium niobate substrates were investigated. The resonant excitation frequencies, the wave distribution velocities and the dispersion characteristics were determined for each of the wave types. The influence of the interdigital transducer (IDT) material on the excitation efficiency and the interaction between investigated wave types was found out. The interdigital transducer material and configuration requirements for integrated acousto-optic devices were determined.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) excited by bursts of sinusoidal waves have been used in various applications. However, the SAW actuators used for this purpose are expensive because each SAW transducer must be equipped with a radio frequency linear amplifier and a function generator. To simplify the driving circuits of these actuators, SAW excitation using a pulse wave is proposed in this report. Simulated results for an equivalent circuit of a single interdigital transducer and measurements of SAWs excited by pulse waves are presented. The generation of tactile sensations using a SAW excited by a pulse wave is also reported. Furthermore, the power requirements for SAW excitation by a sinusoidal wave and by a pulse wave are compared.

Considerable and continuing interest has been shown in the thin film transducer fabrication for surface acoustic waves (SAW) in the past few years. Due to the high degree of miniaturization, compatibility with silicon integrated circuit technology, simplicity and ease of design, this new technology has played an important role in the design of new devices for communications and signal processing. Among the commonly used piezoelectric thin films, ZnO generally yields superior electromechanical properties and is expected to play a leading role in the development of SAW devices.
