    摘要: A resonator comprising: a frame; a first oscillator configured to oscillate with respect to the frame; a first driver configured to drive the first oscillator at the first oscillator's resonant frequency; a first half of a first relative position switch mounted to the first oscillator; a second oscillator having substantially the same resonant frequency as the first oscillator, wherein the first and second oscillators are designed to respond in substantially the same manner to external perturbations to the frame; a second half of the first relative position switch mounted to the second oscillator; and wherein as the first oscillator oscillates there is relative motion between the first and second oscillators such that the first relative position switch passes through a closed state in each oscillation when the first and second switch halves pass by each other.

    摘要: In the present invention, a nanomechanical resonator array (1), which is suitable being used in an oscillator and production method of said nanomechanical resonator array are developed. Said resonator array (1) comprises at least two resonators (2), which are in the size of nanometers, which are vertically arrayed and which are preferably in the form of nano-wire or nano-tube; at least one coupling membrane (3), which mechanically couples said resonators (2) from their one ends, and at least one clamping element (4), which supports mechanical coupling by clamping said coupling membrane (3). Said resonator array (1) can be actuated and its displacements can be sensed. The present invention develops a predictive model of the frequency response of an oscillator comprising the said resonator array (1) for electrostatic actuation and capacitive readout. An oscillator comprised of multiple resonator arrays (1) with different frequency responses connected to a frequency manipulation circuitry can be used as well. For silicon-based systems, said production method comprises the steps of patterning two windows on device silicon layer exposing it to plasma etching using Bosch process; carrying out a further oxidation to form nanowires in an oxide envelop; depositing further sacrificial material. Actuation and readout electrode integration comprises steps of electrode material deposition; self-aligned mask material deposition, chemical mechanical polishing; electrode material etch; releasing nanowires by etching sacrificial material and oxide envelope. For non-silicon-based systems, said production method comprises the steps of structural and sacrificial material deposition; patterning and anisotropic etching of both materials; isotropic etching of sacrificial material.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device (10) comprising: a cylindrical resonator (R) vibrating in extension/compression along a longitudinal axis (Δ) and having a vibration node (N) in the mid-plane (π) thereof, said vibration naturally generating radial extension/compression deformations; and a mechanical uncoupling module comprising a hollow cylinder (2) surrounding the resonator and a membrane (1) disposed in the aforementioned mid-plane and rigidly connected to the cylindrical surface of the resonator and internal cylindrical surface of the hollow cylinder. The hollow cylinder vibrates in extension/compression in phase opposition with the vibration of the resonator, such that the effects of the radial deformations experienced by the hollow cylinder and the resonator offset one another in an area (ZF) located on the external surface of the hollow cylinder close to the mid-plane.

    摘要: A crystalline semiconductor resonator device comprises two matched resonators which are aligned differently with respect to the crystal structure of the crystalline semiconductor. The resonators each comprise a portion of a material having a different temperature dependency of the Young's modulus to the temperature dependency of the Young's modulus of the crystalline semiconductor material. In this way, the suspension springs for the resonators have different properties, which influence the resonant frequency. The resonant frequency ratios between the first and second resonators at a calibration temperature and an operation temperature are measured. A frequency of one (or both) of the resonators at the operation temperature can then be derived which takes into account the temperature dependency of the one of the resonators.
