摘要
This paper describes the feasibility and performances of two families of AlN/Si resonators: 1 MHz extensional and 20 to 100 kHz flexural resonators. In both components the resonating structure is obtained with SOI silicon suspended beams driven by an AlN piezoelectric layer. The 1MHz resonator exhibits a Q factor larger than 100 000 under vacuum and a coupling coefficient of 0.06%. The 20 to 100kHz resonators exhibit extremely low thermal drift of resonant frequency (a close to zero). The thermal compensation has been obtained at device-level by using SiO2 with an appropriate thickness.
