Popis: This paper reports the use of internal electrostatic transduction to excite and detect the fifth bulk lateral mode of a 54µm outer-diameter, 12µm-wide, and 2.5µm-thick poly-silicon ring resonator at 1.95GHz, with a quality factor Q∼8000 in room air. The resonator is fabricated on a quartz substrate to reduce electrical feedthrough. The transducer is a sandwich of 500 nm of electrically floating polysilicon between layers of 50 nm of Si 3 N 4 , formed by refill of a trench etched in the structural polysilicon layer. This scalable double-gap internal electrostatic transducer is compatible with conventional optical lithography, since its critical dimensions are defined by deposition.
