This paper reports the effects of crystal orientations on the temperature coefficient of frequency (TCf) of single crystal silicon square-plate micromechanical resonators vibrating in two distinct contour modes: Lame mode and square extensional (SE). For the Lame mode, the same TCf was found over several devices aligned to the < 110 > direction, while much greater variation in the TCf was observed among the devices aligned against the < 100 > direction. For the SE mode, the devices in both < 100 > and < 110 > orientations exhibit similar TCf values for varying doping levels. The sensitivity of TCf to doping concentration is also investigated. The TCf of Lame < 100 > device is more easily influenced by n-type doping concentration than SE mode devices in both orientations while the Lame < 100 > device is almost immune to doping variation. Devices with different dimensions are tested, and the TCf values are proved to be free of size scaling. Quantitative study based on free carrier contribution on elastic constants is performed and supports our observations. Close agreement among experiments, theoretical predictions and simulations is achieved. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
