PHASED: a Faster, Smarter & More Affordable Analysis Device - Update U.Bonne, J.Detry, R.Higashi, K.Newstrom-Peitso, H.Pham, T.Rezachek and S.Swanson Honeywell Labs, Plymouth, MN 55441, USA ulrich.bonne@honeywell.com Definition: PHASED (= Phased Heater Array Structure for Enhanced Detection) presently integrates multi-stage pre-concentration, separation, flow sensing and detection of gas components on one chip. Project Objectives: Develop and demonstrate the operation of a PHASED sensor, via: - Thermophysical analysis and simulations - Design and assemble a setup to check out the individual components - Design and fabricate a preliminary version of PHASED, with PCB electronics - Design and fabricate an integrated version of PHASED-on-a-chip Acknowledgment: This work is supported by ORNL/DoE Ulrich.bonne@honeywell.com

Status of PHASED as of Jan. ‘2003 Conclusions: • Demonstrated: PHASED-I MEMS fabrication and flow control; operational demonstration is next • Operational feasibility risk reduction: Simulations, Materials, Fabrication: 1,000-10,000:1-concentration gain, 15:1-Resolution, 3-sec, 10-ppb • Resolution:Adjust gas velocity for max. (=min. plate height) • Min. Time:Minimize film thickness w/o starving the capillary’s gasvolume MEMS Enablers Thin-film stationary phase enhances resolution and shortens analysis time Thin-film substrate reduces power MEMS enables integration GC components, multi-stage pre-con. & electr. injection Compatibility with NeSSI Challenges Most power is consumed by column temperature ramping Selectivity & peak ID; then pump and valve Ulrich.bonne@honeywell.com
