Abstract

See full text

A method of making a temperature-compensated resonator is presented. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a substrate including a device layer; (b) replacing material from the device layer with material having an opposite temperature coefficient of elasticity (TCE) along a pre-determined region of high strain energy density for the resonator; (c) depositing a capping layer over the replacement material; and (d) etch-releasing the resonator from the substrate. The resonator may be a part of a micro electromechanical system (MEMS).
