Abstract:The elastic mechanical properties of silicon nanocantilevers are of prime importance in biotechnology and nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) applications. In order to make these applications reliable, the exact evaluation of the effect of the undercut on the mechanical properties of silicon nanocantilevers is essential and critical. In this paper, a numerical-experimental method for determining the effect of the undercut on resonant frequencies and Young’s modulus of silicon nanocantilevers is proposed by com… Show more
