The Eect of Mechanical Loading on the Frequency of an Oscillator Circuit

We investigate the effect of mechanical strain on the frequency of an electronic oscillator embedded in an integrated circuit. This analysis is aimed at explaining a 1% inaccuracy in the oscillator frequency under test conditions prescribed by a leading supplier of semi-conductor devices. During the test the package containing the oscillator was clamped to a circuit board by mechanical pressure. By considering the nature of the oscillator we show that tensile strains of the order of 10^-4 could explain the observations via the piezoresistance effect. Both a simple one-dimensional analysis based on the beam equation and an elastic finite element simulation show that strains of this magnitude can be generated during the test
