5 Frequency Division Multiplexed Communications Information is transmitted in specific frequency channels within specific bands Transmitted Power Band Filter GSM Band Adj. Band DCS1800 Band Need: high frequency selectivity need high-q Frequency
6 Need for High-Q: Selective Low-Loss Filters In resonator-based filters: high tank Q low insertion loss At right: a 0.3% bandwidth 70 MHz (simulated) heavy insertion loss for resonator Q < 5,000
7 Attaining High-Q Problem: IC s cannot achieve Q s in the thousands transistors consume too much power to get Q on-chip spiral inductors Q s no higher than ~10 off-chip inductors Q s in the range of 100 s Observation: vibrating mechanical resonances Q > 1,000 Example: quartz crystal resonators (e.g., in wristwatches) extremely high Q s ~ 10,000 or higher (Q ~ 10 6 possible) mechanically vibrates at a distinct frequency in a thickness-shear mode
8 Miniaturization of Transceivers High-Q functionality required by oscillators and filters cannot be realized using standard IC components use off-chip mechanical components SAW, ceramic, and crystal resonators pose bottlenecks against ultimate miniaturization
9 So Many Passive Components! The total area on a printed circuit board for a wireless phone is often dominated by passive components passives pose a bottleneck on the ultimate miniaturization of transceivers Transistor Transistor Chips Chips Quartz Quartz Crystal Crystal Inductors Inductors Capacitors Capacitors Resistors Resistors IF IF Filter Filter (SAW) (SAW) RF RF Filter Filter (ceramic) (ceramic) IF IF Filter Filter (SAW) (SAW)

42 Research Issues
43 Research Issues: Frequency Extension Needed diameters to achieve UHF fundamental-mode resonance frequencies using a 2μm-thick disk resonator
44 38.8 khz CVD Polydiamond Folded- Beam μmechanical Resonator In situ-doped polydiamond deposited via a microwave plasma reactor (methane and diborane reactants) at 540 o C 80% higher resonance frequency than polysilicon version Design/Performance: L b =160μm, W b =2μm, h=2μm, d=2μm, V P =25V, f o =38.8kHz Q=19,500 f o =38.8kHz Q=19,500 [Wang, Butler, Nguyen, MEMS 02]
45 Research Issues: Frequency Extension Needed diameters to achieve UHF fundamental-mode resonance frequencies using a 2μm-thick disk resonator Problem: geometry not the only consideration; other important factors include: impedance vs. linearity/power handling manufacturing issues: trimming, vacuum encapsulation, MEMS/transistor integration thermal and aging stability
46 Research Issue: Termination Resistance Need to minimize R Q for impedance matching want: V P = large A o = large d = small
47 Small Electrode-to-Resonator Gaps
48 Design Issue: Process Tolerances Process variations can lead to distortion in the filter passband
49 μmechanical Filter Passband Correction [Wang, Nguyen, 1999] Problems: too many interconnect leads, Δf small at VHF Need: a permanent frequency trimming technique
50 Research Issue: Frequency Trimming For banks of filters or resonators need automated trimming on a massive scale, preferably voltage-activated Localized Annealing: current through structure heats it like a filament extremely fast thermal time constants allow for ultra-rapid annealing 16 ppm f o shift per anneal pulse [Wang, Wong, Hsu, Nguyen Transucers 97]
51 Research Issue: Thermal Stability [Wang, Yu, Nguyen 2000] Need temperature compensation or control methods
52 Vacuum Encapsulation Below: localized heated bonding to seal a vacuum cap over a released micromechanical resonator Schematic of the Bonding Encapsulation Procedure Broken Glass Cap V anneal Glass Cap Microcavity Q µheater and Aluminum Solder weeks at 25 mtorr [Cheng, Hsu, Lin, Nguyen, Najafi MEMS 2000] Weeks
53 Thermal Stability Comparison 1.7ppm/ o C Poly-Si μresonator -17ppm/ o C Thermal stability of poly-si micromechanical resonator is 10X worse than the worst case of AT-cut quartz crystal
54 Geometric-Stress Compensation Use a temperature dependent mechanical stiffness to null frequency shifts due to Young s modulus thermal dep. [Hsu and Nguyen, IEDM 00] [W.-T. Hsu, et al., IEDM 00] Problems: stress relaxation compromised design flexibility [Hsu, Nguyen IEDM 2000]
55 Electrical Spring Constant Displacement-dependent E fields generate motional force in quadrature with the input force electrical stiffness Effective electrical stiffness subtracts from mechanical stiffness, causing frequency shift DC-Bias Gap Spacing
56 Operation of Stiffness Compensation To implement stiffness compensation: add a top electrode of a material with a larger thermal expansion coefficient than resonator material design such that the top electrode-to-resonator gap spacing increases with increasing temperature T increase gap increase freq. increase counteract freq. decrease caused by Young's modulus [Hsu, Nguyen MEMS 02] V p V c TC f of Uncompensated CC-beam ( ) Compensation via electrical stiffness (+)
57 SEM of 10MHz Stiffness-Compensated Resonator with with Slitted Top Electrode Top Electrode Driving Anchors Electrode [Hsu, Nguyen MEMS 02] Anchors Anchors Anchors Slits Anchors Anchors Resonator Beam
58 MEMS for Wireless Communications Measured Δf/f vs. Temperature for Electrical Stiffness-Compensated μresonators Design/Performance: f o =10MHz, Q=4,000 V P =8V, h e =4μm d o =1000Å, h=2μm W r =8μm, L r =40μm [Hsu, Nguyen MEMS 02] Δf/f [ppm] 0.24ppm/ o C Temperature [K] V P -V C Slits help to release the stress generated by lateral thermal expansion linear TC f curves 0.24ppm/ o C!!! 16V 14V 12V 10V 9V 8V 7V 6V 4V 2V 0V CC
59 Summary of μresonator TC f s 1.7ppm/ o C Elect.-Stiffness Compensation 0.24ppm/ o C Poly-Si μresonator Geom.-Stress Compensation 2.5ppm/ o C With more accurate V C, it may be possible to completely null the TC f using electrical stiffness compensation
60 Conclusions Via enhanced selectivity on a massive scale, micromechanical circuits using high-q elements have the potential for shifting communication transceiver design paradigms, greatly enhancing their capabilities Advantages of Micromechanical Circuits: orders of magnitude smaller size than present mechanical resonator devices better performance than other single-chip solutions potentially large reduction in power consumption alternative transceiver architectures that maximize the use of high-q, frequency selective devices for improved performance For more information:
61 Conclusions Compelling parallels between MEMS and integrated transistor signal processor technologies: Before 1960: discrete transistor circuits wired on boards with limited functionality After IC s: VLSI CPU s and memory circuits have revolutionized the way things are done Today: discrete mechanical circuits coupled by welded wires with limited functionality With VLSI Micromechanical Signal Processors: functions never before possible now realizable via a combination of transistor and mechanical circuits? a functional and system architectural revolution reminiscent of the IC revolution? potential for true revolution? but there is much work yet to be done
