CORRIGENDUM: Quantum Limit of Quality Factor in Silicon Micro and Nano Mechanical Resonators
Micromechanical resonators are promising replacements for quartz crystals for timing and frequency references owing to potential for compactness, integrability with CMOS fabrication processes, low cost, and low power consumption. To be used in high performance reference application, resonators should obtain a high quality factor. The limit of the quality factor achieved by a resonator is set by...
متن کاملMicro (and Nano-) Mechanical Signal Processors
With quality factors (Q) often-exceeding 10,000, vibrating micromechanical resonators have emerged as leading candidates for on-chip versions of high-Q resonators used in wireless communications systems. However, as in the case for transistors, extending the frequency of MEMS resonators generally entails scaling of resonator dimensions. Unfortunately, smaller size often coincides with lower-pow...
متن کاملPicosecond Ultrasonics: a Technique Destined for BAW Technology
Since the 80’s, Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators technology has been seeing a rapid expansion, due to its potentials in terms of performances and integration for Radio-Frequency (RF) filtering. The control of the frequency is a challenging question for the mass production of such devices, and passes through an accurate control of mechanical properties of the whole stack. The picosecond ultra...

متن کاملPhonon-mediated dissipation in micro- and nano-mechanical systems
We study phonon-mediated dissipation mechanisms in small-scale mechanical systems in light of recent efforts to design high-Q micrometerand nanometer-scale electro-mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). We consider dissipation mechanisms which redistribute the energy within a resonator, such as thermoelastic damping, the Akhiezer effect, and the Landau–Rumer effect, as well as the radiation of ene...
