Fully-Integrated Micromechanical Resonator-Based Reference Oscillators [BPN359]
This project aims to achieve a micromechanical-based reference oscillator that meets or exceeds the requirements of the GSM standard and investigates short-term stability of the MEMS oscillators: particularly, phase noise and acceleration sensitivity of oscillators. In addition to providing a highly accurate, on-chip frequency reference, a fully-integrated oscillator can achieve greater stability (particularly acceleration sensitivity) and far less power consumption than any comparable off-chip oscillator. In the process of achieving a fully-integrated oscillator, much of the research is expected to focus on low temperature metal processes that allow MEMS-last integration with MOS devices while retaining the stability and Q performance already offered by polysilicon counterparts.
