Abstract

An acoustic structure, comprising at least one acoustic resonator exhibiting at least one resonant frequency in a band of operating frequencies and an integrated capacitor, further comprises: a stack of layers, comprising at least one active layer of piezoelectric material or of ferroelectric material; the resonator being frequency tunable and being produced by a first subset of layers of the stack comprising the at least one active layer and at least two electrodes; the integrated capacitor being produced by a second subset of layers comprising the active layer and at least two electrodes; the first and second subsets of layers being distinguished by a modification of layers so as to exhibit different resonant frequencies.
