    Abstract: A resonator includes a piezoelectric layer comprising a piezoelectric material, the piezoelectric layer having a first surface and a second surface; an inner electrode disposed on the first surface of the piezoelectric layer, the inner electrode connected to a circuit; and an outer electrode surrounding the inner electrode on the first surface of the piezoelectric layer, the outer electrode left floating or connected to ground. The inner electrode and the outer electrode are separated by at least one gap smaller than an acoustic wavelength. One single piece electrode or multiple piece electrodes may be disposed on the second surface of the piezoelectric layer. The outer electrodes are configured for optimal modal confinement of an acoustic resonance while the inner electrodes are configured to produce a higher motional resistance than the interconnect resistance for maintaining high Q.
