We report on the development of a new MEMS quartz resonator technology that allows for the processing and integration of VHF to UHF high-Q oscillators and filters with high-speed silicon or III-V electronics. The paper describes the successful demonstration of new wafer bonding and dry plasma etching processes that make quartz-MEMS technology possible. We present impedance, Q, and temperature sensitivity data along with comparison to 3D harmonic and thermal analysis of VHF-UHF resonators. We also show Coventor simulation data of our first two- and three-pole monolithic crystal filter designs as well as a filter array layout which facilitates integration with front-end RF electronics and switches. Finally, we demonstrate a mechanical tuning technique for our resonators utilizing focused-ion-beam (FIB) technology.
