Abstract
A method for manufacturing a plurality of mechanical resonators () in a manufacturing wafer (), the resonators being intended to be fitted to an adjusting member of a timepiece, the method comprising the following steps: (a) manufacturing a plurality of resonators in at least one reference wafer according to reference specifications, such manufacture comprising at least one lithography step to form patterns of the resonators on or above the reference wafer and a step of machining in the reference plate using the patterns; (b) for the at least one reference plate, establishing a map indicative of the dispersion of stiffnesses of the resonators relative to an average stiffness value; (c) dividing the map into fields and determining a correction to be made to the dimensions of the resonators for at least one of the fields in order to reduce the dispersion; (d) modifying the reference specifications for the lithography step so as to make the corrections to the dimensions for the at least one field in the lithography step; (e) manufacturing resonators in a manufacturing wafer using the modified specifications.
