Introduction Microelectromechanical Sytem (MEMS are the integrated ytem coniting of microelectronic, microactuator and microenor []. Typical MEMS conit of micro beam or micro film. An example i a mall rectangular ilicon film with ide in the order of mm and thickne of the order of micron, that deform when ubject to electric field. Owing to it mall ize, ignificant force and deformation can be obtained with the application of low voltage. Example of device that utilize vibration of uch film are ynthetic microjet, and micropeaker, etc. []. Some device are propoed for generating electrical power from mechanical energy by reonance vibration of the micro beam or micro film [3-5]. Dynamic of the micro film i an important ubject that hould be developed. Rafael Nadal- Guardia ued one-dimenional (-D lumped model of parallel film electrotatic tranducer and tudied it dynamic behavior [6]. Lu ued a thin film model to interpret the thickne-dependent um frequency generation pectra collected from the air/ilica/poly (n-butyl methacrylate/water ytem [7]. Akai experimentally invetigated the vibration mode and tranmiion ultraonic wave by pmut uing epitaxial Pb(Zr,TiO 3 thin film on the epitaxial γ- Al O 3 /Si ubtrate to radiate ultraonic wave effectively [8]. Li preented an electrotatic film vibration voltage tranducer [9]. Gualdino fabricated a thin-film ilicon micro reonator by urface micromachining and tudied vibration mode of micromechanical dik reonator made from hydrogenated amorphou ilicon thin film [0]. Sorokin tudied the dynamic of a circular film membrane with attached current-carrying conductor in zero gravity and calculated the pectrum of natural vibration []. Sun invetigated electromechanical coupled non-linear dynamic for micro plate imply upported on four ide []. Sriniva invetigated the tatic diplacement and dynamic characteritic of microplate ubjected to electrotatic excitation [3]. In a word, a number of the tudie about dynamic of the micro film have been done. 99

It i becaue larger tenion in the film will caue larger tiffne of the film. Above equation are utilized for the free vibration analyi of the micro film. The parameter of the numerical example are hown in Table. Natural frequencie of the film under variou film tenion (here, v μm, U 0 V are hown in Table a; natural frequencie of the film under variou voltage (here v μm, F N are hown in Table b. εr Table b. Natural frequencie (rad/ for variou U0. U0(V order 3 Mode (, Mode (, Mode (3, Mode (4, From Table, the following obervation are worth noting: Without conidering electrotatic force, the natural frequencie of the film vibration are larger than thoe of conidering the electrotatic force. It i becaue the electrotatic force ytem i equivalent to a oft pring ytem. The electrotatic force can caue decreae of the natural frequencie of the micro film. The deviation between the natural frequencie of the film with and without the electrotatic force decreae with increaing the order number of the mode. For mode (, and FN, the relative error between the natural frequencie i 0.98 %. For mode (4,4 and FN, the relative error between the natural frequencie i.8 %. It how that influence of the electrotatic force on the natural frequencie decreae with increaing the order number of the mode. 3 At a contant voltage, the natural frequency of the film increae ignificantly with increaing the film tenion. A the film tenion grow, the deviation between the natural frequencie of the film with and without the electrotatic force decreae. At F0.N, the relative error between the natural frequencie with and without the electrotatic force i 58.6 % for mode (4,4. At F0.6N, the relative error between the natural frequencie with and without the electrotatic force i 4. %. At FN, the relative error between the natural frequencie with and without the electrotatic force i.8 %. By ubtituting thee natural frequencie into Eq.

6 Senor & Tranducer, Vol. 76, Iue 8, Augut 04, pp From Fig. 3 and 4, we know: In mode (,, the maximum dynamic diplacement occur at poition xa/ and yb/. In mode (,, the maximum dynamic diplacement occur at poition xa/4 and yb/4 and poition x3a/4 and y3b/4; the negative peak diplacement occur at poition xa/4 and y3b/4 and poition x3a/4 and yb/4. In mode (3,3, five poitive peak diplacement and four negative peak diplacement occur. The mode function are only dependent on mechanical parameter of the micro film and independent from electric parameter of the electromechanical ytem. A the length of the micro film increae, it natural frequency decreae firt rapidly, and then decreae lowly. For a higher order mode, the natural frequency decreae more rapidly with increaing the length of the micro film. 3 A the width of the micro film increae, it natural frequency decreae firt rapidly, and then decreae lowly a well. For a higher order mode, the natural frequency decreae more rapidly with increaing the width of the micro film a well. 4 A the clearance between micro film and bae plate increae, the natural frequency of the micro film increae. Under a maller clearance, the natural frequency of the micro film increae ignificantly while under a larger clearance, the natural frequency increae gradually. 5 A the thickne of the micro film increae, it natural frequency decreae gradually. For a higher order mode, the natural frequency decreae more rapidly with increaing the thickne of the micro film a well. Eq. ( and (6 are utilized for the analyi of the forced repone of the micro film to an exciting voltage. The forced repone correponding to each mode and the total forced repone are given a hown in Fig. 5 where only the firt five mode are conidered, exciting voltage E0.5 V, and exciting frequency ωe 00 πrad /. Fig. 6 how forced repone at center point (xa/ and yb/ on the micro film. The frequency repone of the micro film to voltage excitation are hown in Fig. 7. From Fig. 5 and 7, the following obervation were made: For different mode, though vibrating magnitude at different point of the micro film change along with time, the relative magnitude relationhip between the different point of the film are invariable. For given imple harmonic voltage excitation, the forced repone are alo imple harmonic vibration. A the exciting voltage frequency i near to the natural frequency for the mode (,, the forced repone magnitude correponding to mode (, i the larget. 3 When the exciting frequency ω e of the voltage i near ome natural frequency, reonance will occur. Under reonance, the magnitude and phae relation between different point on the micro film do not change. 4 A the order of the mode increae, the peak dynamic diplacement decreae obviouly. When the order number of the mode increae, the number of the peak dynamic diplacement increae. (a mode (, and yb/ (b mode (, and xa/ (c mode (3,3 and yb/ (d mode (3,3 and xa/ Fig. 5.
