摘要: Free-free beam, flexural-mode, micromechanical resonators utilizing non-intrusive supports to achieve measured Q's as high 8,400 at VHF frequencies from 30-90 MHz are demonstrated in a polysilicon surface micromachining technology. The subject microresonators feature torsional-mode support springs that effectively isolate the resonator beam its anchors via quarter-wavelength impedance transformations, minimizing anchor dissipation and allowing these Q with stiffness frequency range.
