Abstract
An array of thin film piezoelectric resonators are formed on a substrate and connected in parallel to form a single piezoelectric resonator with enhanced piezoelectric coupling. The array includes a first conductive layer positioned on the substrate and defining a first electrode, a plurality of columns of piezoelectric material positioned on the conductive layer and each defining a separate piezoelectric resonator, and a second conductive layer positioned on the plurality of columns and defining a second electrode. The columns are selectively deposited or deposited as a single layer and etched into columns.
