Each one of resonators arranged in an N.times.M MEMS array structure
includes substantially straight elongated beam sections connected by
curved/rounded sections and is mechanically coupled to at least one
adjacent resonator of the array via a coupling section, each elongated
beam section connected to another elongated beam section at a distal end
via the curved/rounded sections forming a geometric shape (e.g., a
rounded square), and the coupling sections disposed between elongated
beam sections of adjacent resonators. The resonators, when induced,
oscillate at substantially the same frequency, in combined
elongating/breathing and bending modes, i.e., beam sections exhibiting
elongating/breathing-like and bending-like motions. One or more of the
array structure's resonators may include one or more nodal points (i.e.,
that are substantially stationary and/or experience little movement),
which are suitable and/or preferable locations to anchor the
resonator/array to the substrate, in one or more areas of the structure's
curved sections.
