    Abstract: A self-calibrating temperature compensated oscillator includes a monolithic structure having a first resonator, a second resonator, and a heating element to heat the first and second resonators. The temperature coefficient of the second resonator is substantially greater than the temperature coefficient of the first resonator. A first oscillator circuit operates with the first resonator and outputs a first oscillator output signal having a first oscillating frequency. A second oscillator circuit operates with the second resonator and outputs a second oscillator output signal having a second oscillating frequency. A temperature determining circuit determines the temperature of the first resonator using the second oscillating frequency. A temperature compensator provides a control signal to the first oscillator in response to the determined temperature to adjust the first oscillating frequency and maintain it at a desired operating frequency.

    Abstract: In an array of acoustic resonators, the resonant frequencies of the resonators are adjusted and stabilized in order to achieve target frequency responses for the array. The method of adjusting is achieved by intentionally inducing oxidation at an elevated temperature. Thermal oxidation grows a molybdenum oxide layer on the surface of the top electrode of an electrode-piezoelectric stack, thereby increasing the relative thickness of the electrode layer to the piezoelectric layer. In one embodiment, the resonant frequency of an FBAR is adjusted downwardly as the top electrode layer increases relative to the piezoelectric layer. In another embodiment, the method of stabilizing is achieved by intentionally inducing oxidation at an elevated temperature.
