Abstract
We report a new method to control the quality factor (Q-factor) mismatch in a MEMS disk resonator using the effect of thermoelastic dissipation (TED). The heat conduction path was trimmed to control the thermal time constant, eventually Qfactor determined by TED. The heat conduction beams with small mechanical stiffness were placed in between large temperature difference areas. The Q-factors of two orthogonal modes could be independently controlled with little effect on the resonance frequency. By the proposed method, Q-factor could be trimmed as high as 38%, while the frequency change was only 0.5%.
