Abstract

Excitación mecánica de resonador micromecanizado. Consiste en la excitación mecánica de elementos resonadores micromecanizados utilizando cerámicas piezoeléctricas, el resonador micromecanizado se polariza con tensión constante. De esta manera se elimina el efecto indeseado del condensador que forman las dos placas del resonador en la corriente de salida del dispositivo. Las características de resonancia continúan fijadas por el elemento vibrante micromecanizado y la potencia necesaria para el funcionamiento se mantiene baja, comparable al caso de excitación electrostática y medida capacitiva. En estos resonadores se detectan picos de resonancia aún cuando el factor de calidad del resonador sea bajo al no quedar oculto bajo la corriente que atraviesa el condensador paralelo, como puede ocurrir en los resonadores excitados electrostáticamente. Esto permite simplificar el proceso de fabricación, utilizar maquinaria menos sofisticada, fundamentalmente en los pasos de litografía y ataque químicos. Pudiéndose fabricar dispositivos de menor coste.Mechanical excitation of micromachined resonator. It consists of the mechanical excitation of micromachined resonator elements using piezoelectric ceramics, the micromachined resonator is polarized with constant voltage. This eliminates the undesired effect of the condenser that forms the two plates of the resonator in the output current of the device. The resonance characteristics continue to be set by the micromachining vibrating element and the power required for operation remains low, comparable to the case of electrostatic excitation and capacitive measurement. In these resonators resonance peaks are detected even when the quality factor of the resonator is low as it is not hidden under the current flowing through the parallel capacitor, as can occur in electrostatically excited resonators. This makes it possible to simplify the manufacturing process, use less sophisticated machinery, mainly in the steps of lithography and chemical attack. Being able to manufacture devices of lower cost.
