Abstract: A MEMS resonator is operated at its parallel resonance frequency. An acoustic wave is propagated laterally away from a central region of the MEMS resonator through a piezoelectric layer of the MEMS resonator. The propagating acoustic wave is attenuated with concentric confiners that surround and are spaced apart from a perimeter of an electrode that forms the MEMS resonator.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to measure a resonant sensor based on detection of group delay. An example apparatus includes a modulation manager configured to query the resonant sensor with a modulated signal including a frequency; and a resonance determiner configured to determine a resonance frequency of the resonant sensor based on a group delay associated with the resonant sensor and the frequency.

Abstract: One example described herein includes an integrated circuit (IC). The IC includes a substrate having opposing first and second sides. The second side can include a curved surface. The IC also includes a resonator on the first side. A curvature of the curved surface can reflect a property of the resonator.

Abstract: A laterally vibrating bulk acoustic wave (LVBAW) resonator includes a piezoelectric plate sandwiched between first and second metal layers. The second metal layer is patterned into an interdigital transducer (IDT) with comb-shaped electrodes having interlocking fingers. The width and pitch of the fingers of the electrodes determine the resonant frequency. A combined thickness of the first and second metal layers and the piezoelectric layer is less than the pitch of the interlocking fingers.

Abstract: A resonator includes a substrate, an acoustic Bragg mirror disposed above the substrate, and a bottom metal layer disposed above the acoustic Bragg mirror. The resonator also includes a piezoelectric plate disposed above the bottom metal layer. The resonator further includes a top metal layer disposed above the piezoelectric plate. The top metal layer comprises multiple fingers within a single plane and the width of each of the fingers is between 75%-125% of a thickness of the piezoelectric plate.
