Abstract

This paper describes the characteristics of poly 3C-SiC micro resonators with <TEX>$3{\times}10^{17}{\sim}1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$</TEX> doping concentrations. The 1.2 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> thick cantilever and the 0.4 <TEX>${\mu}m$</TEX> thick doubly clamped beam resonators with different lengths were fabricated using poly 3C-SiC thin films. The characteristics of poly 3C-SiC micro resonators were evaluated by quartz and a laser vibrometer in vacuum at room temperature. The resonant frequencies of micro resonators decreased with doping concentrations owing to reduction in the Young's modulus of poly 3C-SiC thin films. It was confirmed that the resonant frequencies of poly 3C-SiC resonators are controllable by doping concentrations. Therefore, poly 3C-SiC resonators could be applied to MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications.
