    Abstract: An apparatus includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device. The MEMS device includes a resonator suspended from a substrate, an anchor disposed at a center of the resonator, a plurality of suspended beams radiating between the anchor and the resonator, a plurality of first electrodes disposed about the anchor, and a plurality of second electrodes disposed about the anchor. The plurality of first electrodes and the resonator form a first electrostatic transducer. The plurality of second electrodes and the resonator form a second electrostatic transducer. The first electrostatic transducer and the second electrostatic transducer are configured to sustain rotational vibrations of the resonator at a predetermined frequency about an axis through the center of the resonator and orthogonal to a plane of the substrate in response to a signal on the first electrode.

    Abstract: Doubly-clamped nanowire electromechanical resonators that can be used to generate parametric oscillations and feedback self-sustained oscillations. The nanowire electromechanical resonators can be made using conventional NEMS and CMOS fabrication methods. In very thin nanowire structures (sub-micron-meter in width), additive piezoresistance patterning and fabrication can be highly difficult and thus need to be avoided. This invention shows that, in piezoresistive nanowires with homogeneous material composition and symmetric structures, no conventional and additive piezoresistance loops are needed. Using AC and DC drive signals, and bias signals of controlled frequency and amplitude, output signals having a variety of frequencies can be obtained. Various examples of such resonators and their theory of operation are described.

    Abstract: A tunable resonator is provided that has a high Q for each resonate frequency. The tunable resonator is a MEMs tunable resonator wherein the tuner is affected by moving a moveable mass, associated with the resonating portion of the resonator, form a first position to a second position such that the moveable mass is held in the first position or second position by a detent rather than a constant electromagnet magnetic or electrostatic force applied thereon.

    Abstract: A resonator using the MEMS technology is provided which improves the accuracy of a shape of electrodes so as avoid a short circuit that would otherwise be caused between input and output electrodes to thereby increase the reliability thereof. A resonator includes a substrate 101, an insulation layer 102 formed selectively on the substrate 101 as a sacrificial surface, a beam 103 formed on the substrate 101 via a space, a first support portion 104A formed on the insulation layer 102 of the same material as that of the beam 103, and electrodes formed with a space defined between the beam 103 and themselves for signals to be inputted thereinto and outputted therefrom. A sectional area of the beam 103 and a sectional area of the first support portion 104A are substantially equal in a section which is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the beam 103.
