研究開始時の研究の概要 |
テラヘルツ技術を様々な分野への応用するために、我々が独創したMEMSボロメータの応用は非常に有望である。しかし、MEMSボロメータは、梁の機械的振動や熱膨張という古典的な力学効果を用いているため、感度をさらに改善することが非常に困難である。最近、MEMS梁に内在する力学的な非線形性により生じる梁の振動モード間の相互作用が、非常に大きな熱感度増大をもたらすことを発見した。本研究の実施を通して、モード間結合による感度改善の原理を解明するとともに、感度が増大されたMEMS共振器でテラヘルツ波の検出を実証する。このように、モード間結合効果を超高感度テラヘルツ検出への応用に展開する基盤知識を獲得する。

研究実績の概要 |
The objective of this study is to clarify the mode coupling effect in MEMS beam resonators and explore its possible application in high sensitivity terahertz sensing. In the research of this year, we continued investigating the physical origin of the mode coupling effect by measuring the thermally modulated mode coupling strength. The mode coupling strength is determined by the resonance frequency shift when the coupled high frequency mode is excited simultaneously with the lower mode. As an input heat is applied to the MEMS beam, the MEMS beam is heated up to the buckling condition, which changes the mode coupling strength, as well as the mechanical nonlinearity of the MEMS beam. We have found that the mode coupling strength change has a very similar trend with the mechanical nonlinearity, indicating that these two effects may have the same origin. In addition, we have demonstrated that the mechanical nonlinearity mainly comes from the extended beam length during the mechanical oscillation, and can be controlled by the internal strain in the beam. This has been verified by inputting heat or introducing lattice mismatch in the MEMS beam. These results are very useful for understanding the fundamental physics in MEMS beam resonators, and hence are useful for designing highly sensitive MEMS detectors.

理由
This research goes very smoothly up to now. We have been very closed to fully clarify the mode coupling effect, and understand the relation between mode coupling effect and nonlinearity in MEMS beam resonators, by performing both experimental and theoretical research. In addition, the method we developed for tunning the mechanical nonlinearity of MEMS resonator has been published on high quality journal, indicating that our theoretical model and experimental result are convincing. These results forms a solid fundamental for design highly sensitive terahertz sensor with the mode coupling effect in MEMS resonators.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The research plan for this year is as follows. 1. We will first complete the modeling of the mode coupling effect, and compare the theoretical and experimental results, to provide a clear explanation to the mode coupling effect. 2. We will perform thermal sensing measurement by using the mode coupling effect to verify the improved thermal sensitivity. 3. We will actively attend international conference and publish the achievements on high-quality journals.
