摘要: Micromechanical resonators with resonant frequencies from 500 kHz to 10 MHz were built and examined for several energy loss mechanisms. Thermoelastic damping, clamping air damping considered. The devices shown be limited by thermoelastic providing experimental verification of this phenomenon at the microscale. Resonators scaled dimensions also matched well scaling theory a given pressure. An mechanism other than dissipation, most likely loss, was dominant whose ratio length width less 10:1. fabricated using single-wafer encapsulation process.
