摘要: Changes in resonator behavior the presence of helium were observed at low temperature sealed microstructures. The effects seen with microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators employing reflowed glass and/or direct silicon bonded sealing interfaces. Resonator Q, peak gain and frequency all indicate degradation vacuum quality due to ingress into chamber. These between 23 100 °C after during exposure relatively pressures 140 380 kPa. Similar not for hydrogen, argon air. results may suggest diffusion through temperatures have implications hermeticity testing using MIL-STD 883E, applications a wide variety MEMS devices possibly wafer processing helium.
