Arrays of quartz crystal resonators are fabricated on a single quartz wafer as a multichannel quartz crystal microbalance (MQCM). Three types of four-channel array of 10-MHz resonators are prepared and tested. Mechanical oscillation of each channel is entrapped within the channel almost completely, so that the interference between the channels via the quartz crystal plate is almost negligible. A mass change on each channel is quantitatively evaluated on the basis of Sauerbrey's law. Thus, each channel of a MQCM device can be used as an independent QCM. Influence from a longitudinal wave generated from another channel is also negligible compared to the influence from the wave from the monitored channel itself. The simultaneous oscillation of channels is also possible. The potential applicability of MQCM to the two-dimensional mapping of mass changes is demonstrated.
