Quality enhancement and insertion loss reduction of a rectangular resonator by employing an ultra-wide band gap diamond phononic crystal

We report on an 'in plane mode' band gaps investigation of a novel diamond CRS (circle-rectangle-square) shaped holey phononic crystals in the desired operating frequency ranges. An ultra-wide band gap for diamond in the 'in plane mode' is observed. We also investigate an ultra-wide acoustic band gap for a finite one-dimensional (1D) diamond CRS phononic crystal (PnC) in the 'out of plane mode', and an ultra-wide acoustic band gap of a finite two-dimensional (2D) diamond CRS phononic crystal (PnC) in the 'out of plane mode' based on the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) method. We analyze that the transmission response of diamond in the length extension and width extension manner is more reasonable. Ultra-wide peak attenuations in the transmission spectra of a CRS shaped diamond phononic crystal successfully reveal the complete band gaps. The wide band gap of a CRS shaped diamond phononic crystal and the wide peak attenuation strongly agree in the same frequency region. It is analyzed that when a CRS-diamond phononic crystal is employed for MEMS resonators with different tether widths the quality Q of the resonators improved, and the energy losses decrease with extremely low insertion loss. In addition, it is observed that the vibrational displacement of a resonator is reduced by employing a diamond phononic crystal.
