Optical characterization technique for MEMS comb-drive resonators

Medhat, M.; Khalil, Diaa; Saadany B.; safwat, Amr;

Abstract


A novel optical technique is proposed for the characterization of MEMS resonators. The proposed technique is based on measuring the response of the resonator (resonance frequency and quality factor) optically, which eliminates the electrical parasitic effects. The proposed technique was applied to a comb-drive resonator and the obtained results show good agreement with the standard electrical technique with 2-5% deviation in the resonance frequency and 2-10% in the quality factor. ©2009 IEEE.
