Abstract

A resonant device including a stack of a first metal layer, a piezoelectric material layer, and a second metal layer formed on a silicon substrate, a cavity being formed in depth in the substrate, the thickness of the silicon above the cavity having at least a first value in a first region located opposite to the center of the stack, having a second value in a second region located under the periphery of the stack and having at least a third value in a third region surrounding the second region, the second value being greater than the first and the third values.
