Abstract

We present an experimental study of the nonlinear behavior of a square-extensional (SE) mode microelectromechanicalresonator, actuated with a piezoelectricAlNthin film. The acoustic vibration fields of the device are characterized using laser probing. A nonlinear vibration behavior of the SE mode is observed above a drive power level of −10 dBm such that the vibration amplitude of the SE mode saturates and a rotational in-plane vibration mode is excited at a significantly lower frequency (0.725 MHz) than the SE mode (16.670 MHz). Interestingly, the measured∼10 nm saturation amplitude of the SE mode is more than a decade below the amplitude value at which mechanical or electromechanical nonlinearities are estimated to become significant.
