Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a micromechanical
electrostatic resonator which designs high frequency, increases a ratio
of output voltage to input voltage, and designs low drive voltage or
reduced power consumption. A micromechanical electrostatic resonator of
exemplary embodiments includes a plate-shaped vibration body, a pair of
electrodes arranged oppositely to each other at both sides of the
vibration body with a gap from an outer circumferential portion of the
vibration body, a feeding device to apply in-phase alternating-current
power to the pair of electrodes, and a detecting device to obtain an
output corresponding to a change in capacitance between the vibration
body and the electrodes. The planar shape of the vibration body takes a
shape having a curved outline which comprises a neck portion.
