Abstract
Calculation of the resonance
frequency of cantilevers fabricated from an
elastically anisotropic material requires the use
of an effective Young’s modulus. In this paper a
technique to determine the appropriate effective
Young’s modulus for arbitrary cantilever geometries
is introduced. This technique is validated using a
combined analytical and finite element simulations
(FEM) approach. In addition, the effective Young’s
modulus of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) thin films
deposited on dedicated micromachined cantilevers
was investigated experimentally. The PZT films
were deposited on the cantilevers by pulsed laser
deposition (PLD). The change in flexural resonance
frequency of the cantilevers was measured both
before and after deposition of the PZT thin film.
From this frequency difference we determined
the Young’s modulus of PZT deposited by PLD to
be 103 ± 2 GPa. Even though the PZT is grown
epitaxially, this value is independent of the in-plane
orientation.
