Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: constructing a mechanical resonating structure by applying an active layer on a surface of a compensating structure, wherein the compensating structure comprises: adjusting an operational profile of the mechanical resonating structure by adding one or more materials to at least a first portion of the mechanical resonating structure, removing one or more materials from at least a second portion of the mechanical resonating structure, or combinations thereof, wherein the operational profile comprises a measurement of at least one of a resonant frequency of the mechanical resonating structure, a profile of a temperature coefficient of frequency of the mechanical resonating structure, one or more temperatures for which the temperature coefficient of frequency of the mechanical resonating structure is approximately zero, or a temperature coefficient of stiffness of the mechanical resonating structure.
