Proposed is a resonator which works with bulk acoustic waves and is based
on a layer structure known in the art, which is arranged over a
substrate. According to the invention, the total surface of the layer
structure, including all resonators contained therein, is covered with a
dielectric layer and a metal layer which together form an acoustic
mirror, a low-k dielectric being used for the dielectric layer. The
total-surface mirror offers broadband functionality over a suitable
frequency range. The dielectric contained within the mirror acts as a
sealing protective layer for the resonator or resonators.
