Design and Fabrication of an
Electrostatic Microplate Resonator O. C. Jeong and S. S. Yang
ABSTRACT This paper has represented
an study on the electrostatic micro plate resonator which consists
of a rigid plate supported by the four bridges and the counterelectrode.
The deflection characteristics are investigated by using FEM simulation.
The deflections of the bridges with above four corrugations are
hardly affected by the initial stress and in case of the bridges
without the corrugations, the deflection of those are samller than
the other case. The bridges are fabricated by the p+ silicon and
are designed for the corrugated structure for the residual stress
release. The resonators are mainly fabricated by a boron diffusion
process and anisotropic etch process. The static deflections of
the resonators are calculated under the initial stress due to these
processes and the enlarged electrostatic force due to the vertical
deflection of the resonator. The calculated results are compared
with the measurement results of the dynamic charecteristics of the
resonators by using the laser vibrometer. The deflections obtained
by the experiments of the corrugated bridges are similar to the
calculated static deflections under the assume of the nonexistence
of the initial stress and in case of the flat bridges, the deflections
are smaller than that of the corrugated ones because of the included
residual stress in p+ silicon thin films.
