RESONATOR AND RESONANCE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305266 titled 'RESONATOR AND RESONANCE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a resonator with a vibrating portion containing a substrate and a piezoelectric layer, a holding portion surrounding part of the vibrating portion, and a support portion between the holding portion and the vibrating portion. The vibrating portion has a recessed or protruding shape on the side opposite the piezoelectric layer.
- The resonator includes a vibrating portion with a substrate and a piezoelectric layer.
- It has a holding portion around part of the vibrating portion in a plan view of the substrate.
- A support portion is located between the holding portion and the vibrating portion to provide support.
- The vibrating portion consists of a first portion and a second portion, with the second portion thicker than the first portion in the thickness direction of the substrate.
- The vibrating portion has a recessed or protruding shape defined by the first and second portions on the side of the substrate opposite the piezoelectric layer.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various electronic devices that require resonators, such as sensors, filters, and communication devices.
