A gain bandwidth of 3.5 GHz is achieved on bulk silicon, whereas the gain bandwidth is reduced down to 0.6--0.9 GHz for mixers on 1.5 $\mu$m Si3N4/SiO2 membranes. We show that application of a MgO buffer layer on the membrane extends the gain bandwidth to 3 GHz. The experimental data were analyzed using the film-substrate acoustic mismatch approach.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=560), last updated on Sun, 16 May 2021 15:11:40 -0500", issn="0021-8979", doi="10.1063/1.2749302", opturl="https://aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.2749302", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2749302" }
