摘要:
A resonator comprising a beam formed from a first material having a first Young's modulus and a first temperature coefficient of the first Young's modulus, and a second material having a second Young's modulus and a second temperature coefficient of the second Young's modulus, a sign of the second temperature coefficient being opposite to a sign of the first temperature coefficient at least within operating conditions of the resonator, wherein the ratio of the cross sectional area of the first material to the cross sectional area of the second material varies along the length of the beam, the cross sectional areas being measured substantially perpendicularly to the beam.

摘要:
A method of packaging a micro electro-mechanical structure comprises forming said structure on a substrate; depositing a sacrificial layer over said structure; patterning the sacrificial layer; depositing a SIPOS (semi-insulating polycrystalline silicon) layer over the patterned sacrificial layer; treating the SIPOS layer with an etchant to convert the SIPOS layer into a porous SIPOS layer, removing the patterned sacrificial layer through the porous layer SIPOS to form a cavity including said structure; and sealing the porous SIPOS layer. A device including such a packaged micro electro-mechanical structure is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a Bulk Acoustic Wave device by providing an active layer formed of an electro-mechanical transducer material, providing a first electrode on the active layer, defining a first electrode portion of the device, whereby a remaining portion of the device is defined around the first electrode, providing a stop-layer on the first electrode, depositing a first dielectric layer on the resultant structure, and planarizing the first dielectric layer until the stop-layer on the first electrode is exposed.
摘要:
A MEMS resonator, comprising a planar resonator body formed of two different materials with opposite sign temperature coefficient of Young's modulus. A first portion of one material extends across the full thickness of the resonator body. This provides a design which allows reduced temperature drift.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with precision patterning is disclosed. A structure of a small dimension is created in a material, such as a semiconductor material, using a first and a second pattern, the patterns being identical but displaced over a distance with respect to each other. Two mask layers are used, wherein the first pattern is etched into the upper mask layer with a selective etch, and the second pattern is created on the upper mask layer or on the lower mask layer at locations where the upper mask layer has been removed. A part of the lower mask layer and/or the upper mask layer is etched according to the second pattern, resulting in a mask formed by remaining parts of the lower and upper mask layers, the mask having a structure with a dimension determined by a displacement of the second pattern with respect to the first pattern.
