Modeling and fabrication of CMOS surface acoustic wave resonators

A fully integrated two-port surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator, fabricated using a standard 0.6- m complementary metal–oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process is described in this paper. Only three micromachining processes, namely, reactive ion etching, zinc–oxide deposition, and wet etching, impleme...
