Theoretical and Numerical Studies of the Air Damping of Micro-Resonators in the Non-Continuum Regime

Micromechanical resonators are used in a variety of sensing and filtering applications. In these applications, the accurate performance of micro resonators depends on the sensitivity of these devices to a particular resonance frequency. This sensitivity is measured using the quality factor Q, which...
