Introduction Temperature induced drift MEMS resonator Material compensation SiO2, Al2O3 Compensated electronically PME5230 Midterm Presentation
Device Fundamental mode of vibration Lame’ Mode Square-extension mode Single crystal silicon, square-extensional bulk-acoustic-mode resonator (SE-BAW) PME5230 Midterm Presentation
Method Determine temperature coefficients of the frequency of two mode α1= ((df/f)/dT)lame= -22.3 ppm/K α2 = ((df/f)/dT)SE = -27.3 ppm/K PME5230 Midterm Presentation

Measurement Results • Experiment setup 1) Pt-100 sensor next to resonator chip 2) Resonator as a thermometer itself PME5230 Midterm Presentation
PT-100: frequency error: 15ppm PT-100: compensation error df/f > 2 ppm Resonator thermometer: compensated df/f < 1 ppm PME5230 Midterm Presentation
Discussion Disadvantage: 1) A very accurate frequency measurement is needed 2) The beat frequency of the two modes is fairly high reducing the sensitivity 3) Any mixing products of the two excited modes will degenerate the reference oscillator noise performance PME5230 Midterm Presentation
Conclusion • A resonator can be used as a thermometer by measuring the frequency change of the Lame- and SE- mode • Temperature induced frequency shift can be compensated to better • Provide a cost effective way to obtain crystal oscillator (TCXO) performance with inexpensive silicon resonator.
