A New Application of Bimetallic Thin Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

To perform the temperature compensation, a bimetallic thin film with different thermal expansion coefficients is deposited on the surface of the crystal plate. The thermal stress generated in the crystal and the thin film will cancel each other when temperature changes, thus improve the frequency stability of the crystal oscillator. In this paper, a finite element simulation was carried out for the crystal plate with bimetal, and then an experiment was performed to verify the FEM simulation results. The result shows that this approach achieves good temperature - frequency characteristics and reduces the frequency shift of crystal oscillator.
