Vibratory beam electromechanical resonator

摘要

A resonator formed by the steps of defining an active single-crystal silicon layer delimited by a buried insulator layer, depositing a silicon-germanium layer by a selective epitaxy method so that the silicon-germanium layer grows above the active single-crystal silicon area, depositing by a non-selective epitaxy method a silicon layer and etching it according to a desired contour, and removing the silicon-germanium by a selective etching with respect to the silicon and to the insulator.
