摘要
A novel technique for the simultaneous determination of the strain and Young's modulus of a silicon microresonator is reported. The lowest two symmetric vibration modes of a single resonator are excited and their frequencies measured. The measured frequencies are compared with a theoretical model. The strain is determined by substituting the ratio of the two frequencies into the model. The calculated strain is then substituted into a characteristic equation to yield Young's modulus. The measured value for Young's modulus is 1.31 x 10(11) Pa, which is close to that of pure silicon, 1.30 x 10(11) Pa.
