In this work, we investigate the correlation between tensile residual stress and Q-factor of double-clamped beams fabricated on epitaxial 3C-SiC layers grown on both <100> and <111> silicon substrates, using a completely optical measurement setup to measure the Q-factor of the resonators and the residual stress of the layers by means of purposely designed micromachined test structures. From the measurements, a clear correlation appears between the residual stress of the SiC layer and the Q-factor of the resonators, with Q-factor values above half a million for resonators fabricated on <111> substrates, showing residual stress around 1 GPa.

Abstract
In this work, we investigate the correlation between tensile residual stress and Q-factor of double-clamped beams fabricated on epitaxial 3C-SiC layers grown on both <100> and <111> silicon substrates, using a completely optical measurement setup to measure the Q-factor of the resonators and the residual stress of the layers by means of purposely designed micromachined test structures. From the measurements, a clear correlation appears between the residual stress of the SiC layer and the Q-factor of the resonators, with Q-factor values above half a million for resonators fabricated on <111> substrates, showing residual stress around 1 GPa.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
