    摘要: A bulk-acoustic-mode MEMS resonator has a first portion with a first physical layout, and a layout modification feature. The resonant frequency is a function of the physical layout, which is designed such that the frequency variation is less than 150 ppm for a variation in edge position of the resonator shape edges of 50 nm. This design combines at least two different layout features in such a way that small edge position variations (resulting from uncontrollable process variation) have negligible effect on the resonant frequency.

    摘要: A MEMS resonator comprises a resonator body (34), and an anchor (32) which provides a fixed connection between the resonator body (34) and a support body. A resistive heating element (R1,R2) and a feedback control system are used to maintain the resonator body (34) at a constant temperature. A location for thermally coupling the anchor (32) to the resistive heating element (R1,R2) is selected which has a lowest dependency of its temperature on the ambient temperature during the operation of the feedback control.

    摘要: MEMS oscillators, which include a silicon-type, in particular piezoresistive resonators, can be used to provide a fixed, stable output frequency. Silicon has a natural temperature dependence of Young's modulus, therefore, as ambient temperature changes and/or the piezoresistive resonator is powered, the resonator temperature changes, and the resonance frequency of the resonator drifts. In order to account for the temperature drift of the piezoresistive resonator, the piezoresistive resonator itself is used as a temperature sensor. The relative resistance change of the piezoresistive resonator depends only on the relative temperature change and material property of the resonator. Therefore, an accurate temperature can be sensed directly on the piezoresistive resonator. The temperature drift information is provided to a frequency adjuster, which corrects the output frequency of the circuit.

    摘要: A piezoresistive MEMS oscillator uses an output circuit to control the voltage across the resonator body. This results in a DC bias of the resonator. A current path is provided between the output of the output circuit and the resonator body, such that changes in current through or voltage across the resonator body, resulting from changes in resistance of the resonator body, are coupled to the output. This arrangement uses the bias current flowing through the resonator to derive the output. In this way, the same DC current is used to provide the required DC resonator bias and to drive the output circuit to its DC operating point.
