Summary

SEM-informed digital twins separated tolerable fabrication bias from larger optomechanical errors.

The variability-aware framework combined microscopy-derived dimensions with finite-element models. Systematic deviations of plus or minus ten nanometers had minor effects, while larger offsets more strongly altered optical and mechanical resonances.

Why it matters

SEM-informed digital twins separated tolerable fabrication bias from larger optomechanical errors.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.

Key claims

  1. SEM-informed digital twins separated tolerable fabrication bias from larger optomechanical errors.
