Abstract
Apparatus and methods for control of charge in a semiconductor material of a mechanical resonating structure are described. Controlling the charge of the material may control the material properties of the semiconductor, such as the stiffness. Such control may result in changes in the behavior of the mechanical resonating structure, allowing for control and tuning of the behavior of the mechanical resonating structure.
