摘要
Strategies for permanently tuning the resonant frequency of inplane micromechanical resonators are compared. It is shown that tuning of the suspension stiffness may have advantages compared with tuning of the mass. Iterative frequency tuning of laterally resonant electrostatic comb-drive microactuators by focused ion beam machining is demonstrated.
