    Abstract: A micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) vibrating structure includes a carrier substrate, a first anchor, a second anchor, a single crystal piezoelectric body, a first conducting layer, and a second conducting layer. The first anchor and the second anchor are provided on the surface of the carrier substrate. The single-crystal piezoelectric body is suspended between the first anchor and the second anchor, and includes a uniform crystalline orientation defined by a set of Euler angles. The single-crystal piezoelectric body includes a first surface parallel to and facing the surface of the carrier substrate on which the first anchor and the second anchor are formed and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first conducting layer is inter-digitally dispersed on the second surface of the single-crystal piezoelectric body. The second conducting layer is inter-digitally dispersed on the first surface of the single-crystal piezoelectric body.

    Abstract: A micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) guided wave device includes a piezoelectric layer including multiple thinned regions of different thicknesses each bounding in part a different recess, different groups of electrodes on or adjacent to different thinned regions and arranged for transduction of lateral acoustic waves of different wavelengths in the different thinned regions, and at least one bonded interface between the piezoelectric layer and a substrate. Optionally, a buffer layer may be intermediately bonded between the piezoelectric layer and the substrate. Methods of producing such devices include locally thinning a piezoelectric layer to define multiple recesses, bonding the piezoelectric layer on or over a substrate layer to cause the recesses to be bounded in part by either the substrate or an optional buffer layer, and defining multiple groups of electrodes on or over the different thinned regions.

    Abstract: A micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS) guided wave device includes a plurality of electrodes arranged below a piezoelectric layer (e.g., either embedded in a slow wave propagation layer or supported by a suspended portion of the piezoelectric layer) and configured for transduction of a lateral acoustic wave in the piezoelectric layer. The piezoelectric layer permits one or more additions or modifications to be made thereto, such as trimming (thinning) of selective areas, addition of loading materials, sandwiching of piezoelectric layer regions between electrodes to yield capacitive elements or non-linear elastic convolvers, addition of sensing materials, and addition of functional layers providing mixed domain signal processing utility.

    Abstract: A MEMS device includes a substrate, one or more anchors formed on a first surface of the substrate, and a piezoelectric layer suspended over the first surface of the substrate by the one or more anchors. Notably, the piezoelectric layer is a bimorph including a first bimorph layer and a second bimorph layer. A first electrode may be provided on a first surface of the piezoelectric layer facing the first surface of the substrate, such that the first electrode is in contact with the first bimorph layer of the piezoelectric layer. A second electrode may be provided on a second surface of the piezoelectric layer opposite the substrate, such that the second electrode is in contact with the second bimorph layer of the piezoelectric layer. The second electrode may include a first conducting section and a second conducting section, which are inter-digitally dispersed on the second surface.
