A method for fabricating a quartz nanoresonator which can be integrated on
a substrate, along with other electronics is disclosed. In this method a
quartz substrate is bonded to a base substrate. The quartz substrate is
metallized so that a bias voltage is applied to the resonator, thereby
causing the quartz substrate to resonate at resonant frequency greater
than 100 MHz. The quartz substrate can then be used to drive other
electrical elements with a frequency equal to its resonant frequency. The
quartz substrate also contains tuning pads to adjust the resonant
frequency of the resonator. Additionally, a method for accurately
thinning a quartz substrate of the resonator is provided. The method
allows the thickness of the quartz substrate to be monitored while the
quartz substrate is simultaneously thinned.
