An accurate macro model for free-molecule squeeze-film air damping on micro plate resonators is present. This model relates air damping directly with device dimensions and operation parameters and therefore provides an efficient tool for the design of high-performance micro resonators. The construction of the macro model is based on Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and analytical traveling-t...
