We present a theoretical model for mobile ion contamination in a silicon microelectromechanical resonator. In the model both drift and diffusion of the mobile charge in dielectric films are taken into account. The model is verified through a comparison to existing experimental data. We show that the model can describe the frequency drift of resonators in a wide temperature range.Peer reviewe
