In this work, we discuss simulation of surface acoustic wave device using Comsol Multiphysics. The structure SAW device based on piezoelectric thin film aluminum-nitride (AlN) on silicon was simulated. Some parameters of SAW device such as surface velocity, displacement of piezoelectric thin film were evaluated by software. Many modes and shapes of wave are also discussed in this paper. For evaluation physical parameters of AlN piezoelectric layer, the SAW resonator was modeled and simulation results were also compared with experiment results. we simulated arid evaluated the surface Rayleigh wave of AlN thin film on silicon substrate. Results simulation and experiment showed the surface velocity of AlN thin film was about 5200 m/s and shape of surface wave was also displayed. This paper has also proposed as method to study SAW characteristic of piezoelectric thin film and found out measurement values accurately of film such as stiffness matrix, piezoelectric matrix. These values are very important in calculation and design SAW device or MEMS device based on AlN piezoelectric layer.

This paper describes the characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC doubly clamped beam micro resonators. The polycrystalline 3C-SiC doubly clamped beam resonators with 60 ~ 100 ${\mu}m$ lengths, $10\;{\mu}m$ width, and $0.4\;{\mu}m$ thickness were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and their fundamental resonant frequency was measured by a laser vibrometer in vacuum at room temperature. For the 60 ~ 100 ${\mu}m$ long cantilevers, the fundamental frequency appeared at 373.4 ~ 908.1 kHz. The resonant frequencies of doubly clamped beam with lengths were higher than simulated results because of tensile stress. Therefore, polycrystalline 3C-SiC doubly clamped beam micro resonators are suitable for RF MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications.

TFBAR filters for wireless applications are simulated and fabricated. A CAD model is used to analize the air-gap type single resonator and MBVD model is used far filter design. Aluminum nitride is used as the piezoelectric material with platinum electrodes. To verier the CAD model, simulated and measured results are compared far various top electrode thicknesses, and the agreement is within 0.5 % for the parallel resonance frequency. Various types of the ladder type band pass filters are predicted and their responses are compared with measured frequency data.

This paper describes the resonant characteristics of polycrystalline SiC micro resonators. The $1{\mu}m$ thick polycrystalline 3C-SiC cantilevers with different lengths were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and their fundamental resonance was measured by a laser vibrometer in vacuum at room temperature. For the 100 ~ $40{\mu}m$ long cantilevers, the fundamental frequency appeared at 147.2 kHz - 856.3 kHz. The $100{\mu}m$ and $80{\mu}m$ long cantilevers have second mode resonant frequency at 857.5 kHz and 1.14 MHz. Therefore, polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators are suitable for RF MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications.

This paper describes the characteristics of poly 3C-SiC micro resonators with $3{\times}10^{17}{\sim}1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ doping concentrations. The 1.2 ${\mu}m$ thick cantilever and the 0.4 ${\mu}m$ 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.

This paper describes the temperature characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators. The 1.2 ${\mu}m$ and 0.4 ${\mu}m$ thick polycrystalline 3C-SiC cantilever and doubly clamped beam resonators with 60 ~ 100 ${\mu}m$ lengths were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and their fundamental resonance was measured by a laser vibrometer in vacuum at temperature range of $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. The TCF(Temperature Coefficient of Frequency) of 60, 80 and 100 ${\mu}m$ long cantilever resonators were -9.79, -7.72 and -8.0 $ppm/^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, TCF of 60, 80 and 100 ${\mu}m$ long doubly clamped beam resonators were -15.74, -12.55 and -8.35 $ppm/^{\circ}C$. Therefore, polycrystalline 3C-SiC resonators are suitable with RF MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications in harsh environments.
