摘要: In this paper, selected mechanical properties of a circular AlGaN/GaN diaphragm with an integrated high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) intended for pressure sensing are investigated. Two independent methods were used to determine the residual stress in proposed diaphragms. The resonant frequency method using laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) vibration measurement was chosen measure natural frequencies while diaphragms excited by acoustic impulse. It is shown that strongly dependent on built-in stress. finite element analysis (FEM) Ansys software performed value from spectra measured. transition behavior between ideal membrane and plate observed discussed. Secondly, bulging white light interferometry (WLI) stress-dependent deflection response under static loading. Regarding results obtained, optimal design electrodes outlined.
