In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between power-usage and stiffness to find an in-chip device layer micro-oven design with optimal yield. A variety of micro-ovenized double-ended tuning forks (DETFs) anchored via a serpentine heater or micro-oven are fabricated in an ultra-clean vacuum seal encapsulation process. The micro-ovens contain beams of varying lengths, widths, and thicknesses. We compare the power required to raise the microovens to a fixed temperature and the yield of the devices. These results are the first report of yield statistics for in-chip device-layer ovenized devices. We show that a serpentine micro-oven located in the device layer of an encapsulated device with a thermal conductance of 0.17 mW/ o C and a 25% yield, has 4X improvement over the power required for earlier, stiffer micro-oven designs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
