Miniaturization is the most sophisticated method for achieving UHF and SHF resonance frequencies in RF MEMS resonators. However, by reducing the dimensions of the resonators, the size of their supports become more comparable with the size of the resonator and anchor loss becomes the dominant loss mechanism, thereby suppressing the quality factor. This study considers, Ring Shape Anchored Contour Mode Disk Resonator and calculates anchor loss effects using both energy loss and acoustic impedance ratio methods. Results of analytical calculations are verified using finite element harmonic analysis. Simulation results show that RSACMDRs have an acceptable quality factor in comparison with the other state-of-the-art resonators.

AbstractRecently, there has been growing interest in the utilization of physical systems as heuristic optimizers for classical spin Hamiltonians. A prominent approach employs gain-dissipative optical oscillator networks for this purpose. Unfortunately, these systems inherently suffer from an inexact mapping between the oscillator network loss rate and the spin Hamiltonian due to additional degrees of freedom present in the system such as oscillation amplitude. In this work, we theoretically analyze and experimentally demonstrate a scheme for the alleviation of this difficulty. The scheme involves control over the laser oscillator amplitude through modification of individual laser oscillator loss. We demonstrate this approach in a laser network classical XY model simulator based on a digital degenerate cavity laser. We prove that for each XY model energy minimum there corresponds a unique set of laser loss values that leads to a network state with identical oscillation amplitudes and to phase values that coincide with the XY model minimum. We experimentally demonstrate an eight fold improvement in the deviation from the minimal XY energy by employing our proposed solution scheme.

As a result of their IC compatibility, high acoustic velocity, and high thermal conductivity, aluminum nitride (AlN) resonators have been studied extensively over the past two decades, and widely implemented for radio frequency (RF) and sensing applications. However, the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) of AlN is −25 ppm/°C, which is high and limits its RF and sensing application. In contrast, the TCF of heavily doped silicon is significantly lower than the TCF of AlN. As a result, this study uses an AlN contour mode ring type resonator with heavily doped silicon as its bottom electrode in order to reduce the TCF of an AlN resonator. A simple microfabrication process based on Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) is presented. A thickness ratio of 20:1 was chosen for the silicon bottom electrode to the AlN layer in order to make the TCF of the resonator mainly dependent upon heavily doped silicon. A cryogenic cooling test down to 77 K and heating test up to 400 K showed that the resonant frequency of the AlN resonator changed linearly with temperature change; the TCF was shown to be −9.1 ppm/°C. The temperature hysteresis characteristic of the resonator was also measured, and the AlN resonator showed excellent temperature stability. The quality factor versus temperature characteristic was also studied between 77 K and 400 K. It was found that lower temperature resulted in a higher quality factor, and the quality factor increased by 56.43%, from 1291.4 at 300 K to 2020.2 at 77 K.
