The design, simulation, fabrication and test results of micro-resonators integrating piezoelectric zinc oxide (ZnO) layers are reported in this paper. Interdigitated electrodes are used to excite the thin piezoelectric layer. These micro-resonators are built on top of 2μm silicon membranes of SOI wafers. To improve the quality factor Q and the electromechanical coupling coefficient kt 2 of the proposed devices different numbers and different lengths of inter-digitated (IDTs) electrodes have been tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
