Abstract:A high quality factor (Qfactor) is a critical parameter determining the sensing sensitivity and frequency stability of MEMS resonators. However, given the complex energy dissipation mechanisms at the micro/nanoscale, conventional design approaches relying on geometric intuition struggle to maximize the Qfactor within an environment of multiple coupled damping sources. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a topology optimization design methodology tailored for highQ MEMS beam resonators. First, grounded in thermoelasticity and elastic wave radiation theories, a comprehensive multiphysics simulation framework incorporating both thermoelastic damping (TED) and anchor loss is established. By integrating Perfectly Matched Layers (PMLs) with coupled thermalstructural equations, the total energy dissipation of the resonator is quantified with high precision. Subsequently, a densitybased topology optimization algorithm is employed to evolve the structure of a silicon clampedclamped beam, with the objective of maximizing the Qfactor of the fundamental mode. The study yields two novel topological configurations exhibiting significantly reduced energy loss. Physical mechanism analysis reveals that the optimized material distribution effectively interrupts transverse heatflow pathways, thereby suppressing TED, while simultaneously inducing a “softclamping” redistribution of strain energy near the anchors to minimize energy leakage into the substrate. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with a conventional solid straight beam of identical dimensions, the optimized designs achieve an approximately sixfold enhancement in the overall Qfactor. This work confirms the effectiveness of the multiphysicscoupled topology optimization strategy, providing new theoretical guidance and technical pathways for the design of highperformance MEMS resonators.
