Highly Tunable Electrothermally and Electrostatically Actuated Resonators [PDF]

Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2016
This paper demonstrates experimentally, theoretically, and numerically for the first time, a wide-range tunability of an in-plane clamped-clamped microbeam, bridge, and resonator actuated electrothermally and electrostatically. Using both actuation methods, we demonstrate that a single resonator can be operated at a wide range of frequencies.
