Popis: This paper demonstrates the suppression of parasitic resonance in a piezoresistively transduced [1–3] longitudinal mode MEMS resonator, wherein beams are electrostatically excited in a combined extensional mode with an associated frequency-Q product of 3.28 × 1012. The response of the beam is sensed using both capacitive and piezoresistive transduction principles. The resonator consists of six parallel beams linked to a central anchor and a pair of symmetrical parallel beams that force the beams to vibrate in-phase. The mode suppression in the resonator is compared with other structures by finite element analysis (FEA). The relative distribution of strain energies in both the resonant structure and anchors [5] and in both primary and secondary directions of vibration are proposed as figures of merit to compare this device to previously reported longitudinal mode beam resonators [2,4,6,7]. The design optimization of longitudinal mode beam resonators is also discussed.
