    Abstract

    The fabrication and characteristics of suspended type thin film resonators (STFRs) using surface micromachining of the SOI technology, have been studied. The size of the active part of STFRs is 160 μm × 160 μm. For the piezoelectric AlN thin film, the following etch rate was observed 200 nm min-1 in 0.6 wt.% TMAH. The thickness of the piezoelectric AlN film for the STFR is 2 μm. Cr thin film is used as the top and bottom electrode. This device is free-standing and has a resonant frequency of 1.65 GHz for the 2 μm AlN thin film, a Keff2 of 2.4%, Qs of 91.7, Qp of 87.7.
