MEMS resonators are important component in most of the RF applications. For reliable operation Quality factor should be high and important in transceivers for synchronizing and better sensitivity. This paper presents overview of work done in the area of energy dissipation due to damping in MEMS resonator and to understand techniques which can helps in minimizing its effect. It also suggests an approach to study the different damping mechanisms and analysis of reliability in view of aging and performance through accelerated testing.
Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS) are the combination of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) merged with Micro-optics. The precision workings of MEMS, its optical functionality, and fabrication techniques make possible a broad variety of movable and tunable mirrors, filters, and other optical structures. Microoptics has new features that are widely used in many applications than the classical optics. MOEMS contain movable components that have an effect on an optical signal that is pointed towards the surface of this optical component. In this paper, the focus is on MOEMS mirrors, filters, switches and few applications. Additionally, the emphasis is on finding the important and key issues for identification of scope for further work.
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.
