Application of Mass Transport in Solid Electrolyte Films in Tunable Microelectromechanical Resonators

Kozicki M.N., Brown III C.L., Mitkova M., Enderling S., Hedley J., Walton A.J., Arizona State University, US

We report on the initial results of a study involving a novel materials scheme – a solid electrolyte-electrodeposit system based on germanium selenide glass doped with silver – which holds great promise as a means [...]

A Novel Approach to Integrate Multiple Frequencies of Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR) In A Single Chip

Huang Z., Suo Z., Wang L.-P., Shim D., Ma Q., Intel Corporation, US

Driven by fast growth of wireless communications, film bulk acoustic resonators (FBAR) have been extensively studied as RF filters. Recently, an integrated RF solution, which could include multiple mobile bands, WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, and etc., [...]

Electrostatic Tuning of a Micro-Ring Gyroscope

Gallacher B.J., Hedley J., Burdess J.S., Harris A.J., Rickard A., King D., Insat University of Newcastle, UK

This paper describes a procedure for identifying and correcting anisoinertia and anisoelasticity present in a micro-ring gyroscope. The major disadvantages of popular tuning methods such as mass trimming using laser ablation or focussed ion beam [...]
