Abstract:
A sensor device comprising a planar substrate defining a substrate plane and a waveguide for guiding an electromagnetic wave. The waveguide extends in a length direction in a waveguide plane parallel to the substrate plane and has a width and a height wherein the width to height ratio is more than 5. The height of the waveguide is less than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave. The waveguide is supported on the substrate by a support structure extending from the substrate to the waveguide, along the length direction of the waveguide, having a width which is smaller than the width of the waveguide. The invention further relates to a method of detecting a component in gas and a method of fabricating a sensor device.

Claim (Index 1):
A sensor device comprising;\n a substrate defining a substrate plane, a waveguide for guiding an electromagnetic wave, the waveguide extending in a length direction in a waveguide plane parallel to the substrate plane, the waveguide having a width in the waveguide plane in a direction perpendicular to the length direction, and a height out of the waveguide plane in a direction perpendicular to the length direction, wherein the width of the waveguide is larger than the height of the waveguide, a support structure supporting the waveguide on the substrate, wherein at least part of the height of the waveguide is less than the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave, wherein the waveguide is supported on the substrate by the support structure along at least a first portion of the length direction, and the waveguide is free hanging along at least a second portion of the length direction, wherein the waveguide is of a material of a first composition and the support structure is of a material of a second composition.
