The theoretical limit of the FOM for AT-cut QCM operating in water is determined by liquid damping (solid blue line). Literature data45,46,47 (blue rhombus) show that conventional QCMs with different thicknesses perform similar to or worse than this FOM limit. The µ-QCM (red star), on the other hand, significantly surpasses the theoretical FOM limit
