A phononic bandgap shield for high-Q membrane microresonators

Published 3 Dec 2013 in cond-mat.mes-hall | (1312.0962v1)

Abstract: A phononic crystal can control the acoustic coupling between a resonator and its support structure. We micromachine a phononic bandgap shield for high Q silicon nitride membranes and study the driven displacement spectra of the membranes and their support structures. We find that inside observed bandgaps the density and amplitude of non-membrane modes are greatly suppressed, and membrane modes are shielded from an external mechanical drive by up to 30 dB.
