| abstract |
Aspects of the subject disclosure include, for example, constructing a mechanical resonating structure by applying an active layer on a surface of a compensating structure, wherein the compensating structure comprises one or more materials having an adaptive resistance to deform that reduces a variance in a resonating frequency of the mechanical resonating structure, wherein at least the active layer and the compensating structure form a mechanical resonating structure having a plurality of layers of materials, and wherein a thickness of each of the plurality of layers of materials results in a plurality of thickness ratios therebetween. Other embodiments are disclosed. |
