  • Electronic component having a resonator and fabrication process
    Patent number: 7180224
    Abstract: An electronic component (1) includes a substrate (2) and at least two piezoelectric resonators (3, 4) each having an active element (6, 9), a lower electrode (5, 8) and an upper electrode (7, 10). The lower electrode (5) of the first resonator (3) is made of a material that is different from that of the lower electrode (8) of the second resonator (4) such that the resonators exhibit different resonance frequencies.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 1, 2004
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2007
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.A.
    Inventors: Guillaume Bouche, Nick Smears, Pascal Ancey, Gregory Caruyer
