  • Resonator with a staggered electrode configuration
    Patent number: 9379686
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a piezoelectric substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The device also includes a first electrode and a second electrode on the first surface of the piezoelectric substrate, the first electrode having a first width and the second electrode having a second width. The device further includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode on the second surface of the piezoelectric substrate, the third electrode having a third width that is substantially the same as the second width, and the fourth electrode having a fourth width that is substantially the same as the first width. The first and third electrodes operate as part of a first portion of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonator, and the second and fourth electrodes operate as part of a second portion of the MEMS resonator.
