Abstract

Suppression of spurious modes of vibration for resonators and related apparatus and methods. A device may include a MEMS resonating structure, a substrate, and anchors between the MEMS resonating structure and the substrate. The MEMS resonating structure may have at least one main eigenmode of vibration and at least one spurious eigenmode of vibration. The anchors may be configured to suppress the response of the at least one spurious mode of vibration.
