Title: Piezoelectric shear wave resonator and method of making same

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5385561

A piezoelectric shear wave resonator having a predetermined temperature coefficient of resonance is described comprising: a composite comprising a first film of piezoelectric material having a 6 mm symmetry, the film having its C-axis substantially inclined at an acute angle with respect to the film normal, such that the shear wave coupling coefficient of the film significantly exceeds the longitudinal wave coupling coefficient of the film, and a second film of p/sup +/ silicon semiconductor material having a positive temperature coefficient of resonance, and a substrate supporting the composite at its periphery, the ratio of thickness of the semiconductor film to the piezoelectric film determining the temperature coefficient of resonance.
