Stacked Coupled-Disk MEMS Resonators for RF Applications

Nygaard K.H., Grinde C., Fjeldly T.A., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO

A novel, stacked coupled-disk resonator design is presented where the silicon discs vibrate in radial contour modes, actuated by electrodes wrapped around the disk periphery. The self-aligned, central stem mediates the coupling and also anchors [...]
