Abstract

A method for fabricating a resonator, and in particular, a thin film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), and a resonator embodying the method are disclosed. An FBAR is fabricated on a substrate by mass loading piezoelectric (PZ) layer between two electrodes. For a substrate having multiple resonators, only selected resonator is mass loaded to provide resonators having different resonance frequencies on the same substrate.
