    摘要: An apparatus and method for detecting a target environmental variable (TEV). A first film-bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) oscillator that includes a first FBAR with a first response to the target environmental variable generates a first frequency. A second film-bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) oscillator that includes a second FBAR with a second response to the target environmental variable generates a second frequency. A circuit that is coupled to the first FBAR oscillator and the second FBAR oscillator determines the target environmental variable (e.g., changes in the TEV) based on the first frequency and the second frequency.

    摘要: An apparatus such as a thin film resonator has a bottom electrode, a top electrode, and a composite layer between the two electrodes. The composite layer includes a piezoelectric (PZ) layer having a first coupling coefficient and a coupling coefficient control (CCC) layer having a second coupling coefficient. By varying the relative thicknesses of the PZ layer and the CCC layer during the manufacturing process, the coupling coefficient of the resonator can be established (to any value between the first coupling coefficient and the second coupling coefficient) with minimal impact on resonant frequency. Further, it is relatively less difficult to fabricate the PZ layer and the CCC layer having the desired coupling coefficient (as a combination of the first coupling coefficient and the second coupling coefficient) compared to the difficulties of fabrication of a uniform PZ layer having the desired coupling coefficient.

    摘要: The temperature-compensated film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises an FBAR stack. The FBAR stack comprises an FBAR and a temperature-compensating element. The FBAR is characterized by a resonant frequency having a temperature coefficient, and comprises opposed planar electrodes and a piezoelectric element between the electrodes. The piezoelectric element has a temperature coefficient on which the temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency depends at least in part. The temperature-compensating element has a temperature coefficient opposite in sign to the temperature coefficient of the piezoelectric element.
