Driving and Sensing M/NEMS Flexural Vibration Using Dielectric Transduction

We show that nanometer-scale dielectric thin films can act as efficient electromechanical transducers to simultaneously drive and sense the vibration of the first flexural mode of micro/nano-cantilevers. Here, 16 μm-long, 5 μm-wide and 350 nm-thick cantilevers are actuated by a 15 nm-thick silicon n...
