Proceedings ArticleDOI
Gallium nitride-on-silicon micromechanical overtone resonators and filters
TL;DR: In this article, a GaN-on-silicon resonator is reported which exhibits a quality factor of 1850 at 802.5 MHz, resulting in an f×Q value twice the highest reported for GaNbased resonators to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoelectrically Transduced Temperature-Compensated Flexural-Mode Silicon Resonators
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the piezoelectric transduction of in-plane flexural-mode silicon resonators with a center frequency in the range of 13-16 MHz.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimization of tether geometry to achieve low anchor loss in Lamé-mode resonators
V. A. Thakar,Mina Rais-Zadeh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the fundamental cause of anchor dissipation in Lame- or wineglass-mode resonators and show that by carefully optimizing the resonator tether geometry low anchor losses can be achieved, making it possible to reach the intrinsic fxQ limit of the resonating material.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Piezoelectrically transduced high-Q silica micro resonators
Zhengzheng Wu,Adam Peczalski,V. A. Thakar,Zongliang Cao,Yi Yuan,Guohong He,Rebecca L. Peterson,Khalil Najafi,Mina Rais-Zadeh +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a piezoelectric-on-silica micromechanical resonator for integrated timing applications is reported, and the measured f×Q product of this resonator is the highest amongst reported micromachined silica/fused quartz resonators.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Temperature-compensated piezoelectrically actuated Lamé-mode resonators
V. A. Thakar,Mina Rais-Zadeh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 20× improvement in the total charge pick-up was achieved by optimizing the placement of the oxide-refilled islands and without changing the total oxide volume.
