Micro-hotplate based temperature stabilization system for CMOS SAW resonators

Due to the sensitivity of the piezoelectric layer in surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators to temperature, a method of achieving device stability as a function of temperature is required. This work presents two methods of temperature control for CMOS SAW resonators using embedded polysilicon h...
