    Abstract: A method and apparatus for a piezoelectric resonator (200) having combined thickness (220T) and width (220W) vibrational modes are disclosed. A piezoelectric resonator may include a piezoelectric substrate (210) and a first electrode (205) coupled to a first surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The piezoelectric resonator may further include a second electrode (215) coupled to a second surface of the piezoelectric substrate, where the first surface and the second surface are substantially parallel and define a thickness dimension of the piezoelectric substrate. Furthermore, the thickness dimension (T) and the width (W) dimension of the piezoelectric substrate are configured to produce a resonance from a coherent combination of a thickness vibrational mode and a width vibrational mode when an excitation signal is applied to the electrodes.

In some other implementations, a portion of a sacrificial layer is removed to define a trench in the piezoelectric layer.
