Abstract

An electromechanical resonator includes a monocrystalline-silicon substrate (S) provided with an active zone (ZA) delimited by an insulating region, a vibrating beam (10) anchored by at least one of its free ends on the insulating region and including a monocrystalline-silicon vibrating central part (12), and a control electrode (E) arranged above the beam and bearing on the active zone. The central part (12) of the beam is separated from the active zone (ZA) and from the control electrode (E).
