Characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators with doping concentrations

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC microresonators with $3{\times}10^{17}{\sim}1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ in-situ N-doping concentrations. In this work, the crystallinity, carrier concentration and surface morphology of the grown thin films were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The 1.2 ${\mu}m$ thick cantilvers and the 0.4 ${\mu}m$ thick doubly-clamped beam microresonators with various lengths were implemented using in-situ doping poly 3C-SiC thin films. The characteristics of the poly 3C-SiC microresonators were evaluated using quartz and a laser vibrometer under vacuum at room temperature. The resonant frequencies of the SiC microresonators decreased with doping concentrations owing to the reduction of the Young's modulus of the poly 3C-SiC thin films. It was confirmed that the resonant frequencies of the poly 3C-SiC microresonators are controllable by adjusting the doping concentrations.
