Abstract

This paper presents an approach to reduce anchor loss in high frequency micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) resonator by using phononic crystal. The novel designed phononic crystal with supporting tethers is to see the formation of very wide and complete band gaps in desired frequency range from 65-252MHz and 305-388MHz, and improvement of quality factor from 13671 (without framing holes stub) to 51281 (with framing holes stub) by introducing a small putlog holes with unique frame stub with tethers width TW =8 m, and length TL =0.5. We show that size of stub and holes can help to improve the formation of wide band-gaps, and Quality factor. This proposed PnC MEMS resonator can effectively decrease the anchor loss. The aim of this paper is to present a novel framing holes Phononic crystal configuration for applications in silicon-based MEMS resonators..
