Electrostatically-Driven Resonator on Soi with Improved Temperature Stability
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with a single-crystal-silicon (SCS) MEMS resonator with improved temperature stability. While simulations have shown that the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency can be down to 1 ppm/°C, preliminary measurements on non-optimised structures gave evidence of a temperature coefficient of 29 ppm/°C. Design, optimisation, experimental results with post process simulation and prospective work are presented.

Investigation of Mems Resonator Characteristics during Long-term and Wide Temperature Variation Operation
Two types of single-crystal silicon micromechanical resonators having resonant frequencies at 150 kHz and 130 kHz were tested under harsh environment to investigate stability. To observe long-term stability, the main characteristics, such as resonant frequency and quality factor were measured over 2,500 hrs continuously while maintaining constant environmental temperature at 25°C±0.1°C. A separ...

This paper presents the fabrication and mechanical characterization of electrostatically actuated micro bimorphs integrated with race-track ring resonators, for optical tuning applications. The bimorphs, having an upward deflection in the off-state, are integrated by surface micromachining techniques with race-track ring resonators fabricated on Silicon On Insulator (SOI) wafers. Using electros...

In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...
