Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a MEMS resonator comprising a movable element (48), the movable element (48) comprising a first part (A) having a first Young's modulus and a first temperature coefficient of the first Young's modulus, and the movable element (48) further comprising a second part (B) having a second Young's modulus and a second temperature coefficient of the second. Young's modulus, a sign of the second temperature coefficient being opposite to a sign of the first temperature coefficient, at least, at operating conditions of the MEMS resonator, and a cross-sectional area of the first part (A) and the cross-sectional area of the second part (B) being such that the absolute temperature coefficient of the Young's modulus of the first part (A) multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the first part (A) does not deviate more than 20% from the absolute temperature coefficient of the Young's modulus of the second part (B) multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the second part (B), the cross-sectional areas being measured locally and perpendicularly to the movable element (48).
