    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) resonator. An example MEMS resonator includes a substrate, a barrier layer, a conducting layer, a dielectric isolation layer, a harmonic oscillator, a first electrical isolation structure, and a first conducting structure. The substrate and the barrier layer are combined to form a cavity, and a junction between the substrate and the barrier layer includes the conducting layer. The dielectric isolation layer is included between the conducting layer and the barrier layer. The harmonic oscillator is connected to the conducting layer and is suspended in the cavity. The conducting layer is connected to a first conducting structure that is outside the barrier layer, and a first electrical isolation structure is included between the first conducting structure and the barrier layer. The barrier layer and the dielectric isolation layer are configured to isolate the first electrical isolation structure from the cavity.

    摘要: Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based resonators offer integration with other MEMS devices and electronics. Whilst piezoelectric film bulk acoustic resonators (FBAR) generally exhibit high electromechanical transduction efficiencies and low signal transmission losses they also suffer from low quality factors and limited resonance frequencies. In contrast electrostatic FBARs can yield high quality factors and resonance frequencies but suffer from increased fabrication complexity. lower electromechanical transduction efficiency and significant signal transmission loss. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to overcome these limitations by reducing fabrication complexity via a single metal electrode layer topping the resonator structure and supporting relatively low complexity/low resolution commercial MEMS fabrication processes by removing the fabrication requirement for narrow transduction gaps. Beneficially, embodiments of the invention provide MEMS circuits with electrostatic tuning and provide resonator designs combining the advantages of piezoelectric actuation and bulk-mode resonators.
