In this work, the fabrication of wafer-level vacuum packaged 3C-SiC resonators obtained from layers grown on <100> and <111> silicon is reported. The resonant microstructures are double-clamped beams encapsulated by glass-silicon anodic bonding using titanium-based vacuum gettering. Open-loop resonance frequency measurements are performed on the vacuum-packaged devices showing Q-factor values up to 292,000 for <100> and 331,000 for <111> substrates, with a maximum vacuum level around 10-2 mbar inside the encapsulations with Ti getter.

Abstract

In this work, the fabrication of wafer-level vacuum packaged 3C-SiC resonators obtained from layers grown on <100> and <111> silicon is reported. The resonant microstructures are double-clamped beams encapsulated by glass-silicon anodic bonding using titanium-based vacuum gettering. Open-loop resonance frequency measurements are performed on the vacuum-packaged devices showing Q-factor values up to 292,000 for <100> and 331,000 for <111> substrates, with a maximum vacuum level around 10-2 mbar inside the encapsulations with Ti getter.
