Stemless Wine-glass-mode Disk Micromechanical Resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polysilicon wine-glass mode micromechanical disk resonators using a stemless, non-intrusive suspension structure have been demonstrated in both vacuum and atmospheric pressure at frequencies around 73.4 MHz with Q’s as high as 98,000 in vacuum, and 8,600 in atmosphere—the highest ever reported Q’s at this frequency range and in these environments for any on-chip micro-scale resonator. The Q of 98,000 in vacuum for this wine-glass mode resonator is more than 10X higher than measured on radial contour mode counterparts, and more than 8X higher than exhibited by published free-free beams at 70 MHz.

Design of Spring Coupling for High- Q High-Frequency MEMS Filters for Wireless Applications
This paper presents the design optimization of the coupling beam of wine glass (WG) mode micromechanical disk filters using the simulated annealing algorithm. The filter under consideration consists of two identical wine-glass mode disk resonators, mechanically coupled by a flexural mode beam. Such coupled two-resonator system exhibits two mechanical resonance modes with closely spaced frequenc...
متن کاملPhase Noise Amplitude Dependence in Self-limiting Wine-glass Disk Oscillators
Self-limiting 46.4-MHz series resonant reference oscillators employing a wine-glass mode disk micromechanical resonator to avoid hard limiting without the need for ALC have achieved measured phase noises of -113 and -134 dBc/Hz at 1kHz and far-fromcarrier offsets, respectively. When divided down to 10MHz frequency for fair comparison with other oscillators, these values correspond to -126 dBc/H...
متن کاملHigh-Q VHF Micromechanical Contour-Mode Disk Resonators
A micromechanical, laterally vibrating disk resonator, fabricated via a technology that combines polysilicon surface-micromachining and metal electroplating to attain submicron lateral capacitive gaps, has been demonstrated at frequencies approaching 160 MHz with Q's as high as 9,400— the highest demonstrated to date for an on-chip resonator in this frequency range. This frequency also represen...
متن کاملThe Micromechanical Resonant Switch (“resoswitch”)
A micromechanical switch, dubbed the “resoswitch”, has been demonstrated that harnesses the resonance and nonlinear dynamical properties of its mechanical structure to greatly increase switching speed and cycle count (even under hot switching), and lower the needed actuation voltage, all by substantial factors over existing RF MEMS switches. The device comprises a wine-glass mode disk resonator...

Micromechanical radial-contour mode disk resonators featuring new self-aligned stems have been demonstrated with record resonance frequencies up to 1.14 GHz and measured Q’s at this frequency >1,500 in both vacuum and air. In addition, a 733-MHz version has been demonstrated with Q’s of 7,330 and 6,100 in vacuum and air, respectively. For these resonators, self-alignment of the stem to exactly ...
