Abstract

A novel, fully functional silver (Ag) electrodeposition process has been integrated into surface micromachined polysilicon resonators for the purpose of resonant frequency tuning. Application of different DC tuning voltages between a Ag anode and inert aluminium cathodes caused frequency changes ranging from -10% to 10.7%. This process presents a promising technique for dynamic in-situ, low voltage frequency tuning to the field of RF MEMS. © 2005 IEEE.
