Abstract
The authors describe microfabricated tuning forks in silicon, which are excited electrodynamically. The pressure dependence of the resonance frequency and the Q-factor was measured by an interferometer over a range of pressure 1 mu bar to 2 bar. It is shown that micromachined structures in silicon have Q-factors which are comparable to those of similar quartz structures.<>
