Abstract:
The invention relates to a micromechanical resonator device and a method for measuring a temperature. The device comprising a resonator body, an excitation module associated with the resonator body, a control module and a frequency detection module. The resonator body is adapted to resonate separately in at least a first and a second predetermined resonance state, selected by applying a different bias, the states being of the same eigenmode but having a different resonance frequency, each resonance frequency having a different temperature dependence.

Abstract:
MEMS resonator comprising: a substrate; a resonator body (1) suspended above the substrate by means of clamped-clamped beams (4), each beam comprising two support legs (41, 42) with a common connection (5) to the resonator body, the resonator body (1) being adapted for resonating at an operating frequency (fres); excitation means (6, 7) for exciting the resonator body into a vibration at the operating frequency (fres). Each beam is adapted for oscillating in a flexural mode at a given flexural wavelength as a result of said vibration of said resonator body at said operating frequency (fres). Each leg is acoustically long with respect to said flexural wavelength of the beam.
