Abstract
Thermoelastic damping is one of the key factors affecting the quality factor of vacuum-encapsulated resonant devices. In order to suppress the influence of thermoelastic damping, vertical slots are introduced to the MEMS resonant beams. The heat flux inside the beams are expected to be reduced through local structural optimization, thus improving the quality factor. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, the software of COMSOL is employed to explore the inhibition effect of structural parameters such as length, width and quantity of the slots on thermoelastic damping. The simulation results show that the thermoelastic damping decreases sharply and the quality factor are improved after the slots are introduced, and the effects are strongly related to the characteristic parameters of the slots.
