    摘要: Methods and apparatus for metal semiconductor wafer bonding for high-Q devices are provided. An exemplary capacitor includes a first plate formed on a glass substrate, a second plate, and a dielectric layer. No organic bonding agent is used between the first plate and the glass substrate, and the dielectric layer can be an intrinsic semiconductor. A extrinsic semiconductor layer that is heavily doped contacts the dielectric layer. The dielectric and extrinsic semiconductor layers are sandwiched between the first and second plates. An intermetallic layer is formed between the first plate and the dielectric layer. The intermetallic layer is thermo compression bonded to the first plate and the dielectric layer. The capacitor can be coupled in a circuit as a high-Q capacitor and/or a varactor, and can be integrated with a mobile device.

    摘要: This disclosure provides implementations of filters and filter topologies, circuits, structures, devices, apparatus, systems, and related processes. In one aspect, a device includes one or more LC resonant circuit stages. In some implementations, each LC stage includes an inductor and a capacitor. Each LC stage also has a corresponding resonant frequency. The one or more LC stages are arranged to produce an unmodified passband over a range of frequencies having a corresponding bandwidth. One or more microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators are arranged with the one or more LC stages. The one or more MEMS resonators are arranged with the one or more LC stages so as to modify characteristics of the unmodified passband such that the hybrid filter produces a modified passband having a modified bandwidth and one or more other modified band characteristics.

    摘要: This disclosure provides implementations of electromechanical systems resonator structures, devices, apparatus, systems, and related processes. A resonator structure generally includes a first conductive layer with an input electrode, an output electrode, and a ground electrode. The ground electrode is disposed between the input electrode and the output electrode. In some implementations, the second conductive layer includes an input electrode, an output electrode, and a ground electrode. In some other implementations, a second conductive layer includes a pair of ground electrodes and a signal electrode in the form of an input or output electrode disposed between the ground electrodes. A piezoelectric layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. Sub-resonators can be defined in different regions of the structure, such that the piezoelectric layer is capable of moving to produce an output signal having frequencies at a first resonant frequency and a second resonant frequency.
