摘要: This paper shows the design, fabrication and characterization of a novel design micromechanical resonators with Bloch-mode resonance by creating defects on two-dimensional (2-D) silicon phononic crystal (PnC) slab made etching square array cylindrical air holes in 10µm thick free-standing plate. Piezoelectric aluminum nitride (AlN) film is deployed as inter-digital transducers (IDT) to transmit detect acoustic waves, thus making whole microfabrication process CMOS-compatible. We also fabricate PnC structure which has stopband 140MHz < f <195MHz agrees quite well simulation results. The characterized resonant frequency microfabricated increases central-hole radius (r′) reaches its maximum value (163.54MHz) at r′=8µm, while Q factor (954) r′=6µm. based lattice show promising characteristics relative smaller active area than other reported designs. Such performance very for sensing applications.
