Spurious-Free Lithium Niobate Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator with Grounded-Ring Electrode
Vakhtang Chulukhadze, Kristi Nguyen, Eric Stolt +6
High-performance piezoelectric resonators are promising energy storage elements for piezoelectric power conversion due to their compact footprint and low loss at frequencies where…
Single-Crystal AlN Wafer-Based Bulk Acoustic Resonators for Piezoelectric Power Conversion
Ziqian Yao, Clarissa Daniel, Kaicheng Pan +5
In this work, we demonstrate the first single-crystal aluminum nitride (AlN) wafer-based thickness-extensional (TE) mode bulk acoustic resonator for piezoelectric power conversion.…
Bimorph Lithium Niobate Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers
Vakhtang Chulukhadze, Zihuan Liu, Ziqian Yao +8
Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) are widely utilized in applications that demand mechanical resilience, thermal stability, and compact form factors. Recen…
Residual Stress Anisotropy In Thin-Film Lithium Niobate For Stress-Managed MEMS
Byeongjin Kim, Ian Anderson, Tzu-Hsuan Hsu +4
In this work, we present the first experimental study of residual stress and post-release beam deflection in 128-degree Y-cut thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) on Si, revealing pron…
Radial Mode Lithium Niobate Rosen Transformer
Ziqian Yao, Heather Chang, Eric Stolt +4
In this work, we demonstrate the first two-port radial-mode Rosen transformer based on 36Y-cut lithium niobate (LN) for piezoelectric power conversion. The device achieve…
Phononic Combs in Lithium Niobate Acoustic Resonators
Ian Anderson, Jack Kramer, Tzu-Hsuan Hsu +3
Frequency combs consist of a spectrum of evenly spaced spectral lines. Optical frequency combs enable technologies ranging from timing, LiDAR, and ultra-stable signal sources. Micr…
