Abstract
The temperature-compensated film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises an FBAR stack. The FBAR stack comprises an FBAR and a temperature-compensating element. The FBAR is characterized by a resonant frequency having a temperature coefficient, and comprises opposed planar electrodes and a piezoelectric element between the electrodes. The piezoelectric element has a temperature coefficient on which the temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency depends at least in part. The temperature-compensating element has a temperature coefficient opposite in sign to the temperature coefficient of the piezoelectric element.
