+ To lower the motional resistance Rx
- Rx ~ 4 orders-of-magnitude of gap (d0 )- Rx ~ 2 orders-of-magnitude of dielectric constant( ε0 )o de s o ag tude o d e ect c co sta t( ε0 )- Dielectric constant of silicon nitride (Si3N4) is about 9 (air~1)
+ Avoid the stiction , increasing the yield + Application to rigorous environment

- (1) reduced capacitive feedthrough between drive and sense electrodes- (2) reduced ohmic losses in the resonator suspension and anchor thereby ( ) p y
