Abstract :
In this paper, first experiments regarding characterization of the GaN based FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) structures as pressure sensors are presented. The FBAR structures have been manufactured on GaN/Si using advanced micromachining technologies. The experiments have demonstrated the excellent mechanical properties of 0.5 μm thin GaN membranes able to support a pressure of at least 5 Bar.
