英文摘要：

The AlN contour-mode RF MEMS resonators are reviewed. The piezoelectric effect of the AlN thin film is used in the contour-mode resonator （CMR）. The resonant function is achieved by the mechanical resonance and electromechanical conversion. The basic structure is electrode layer-AlN layer-electrode layer. Two typical structures of the current contour-mode resonators are introduced, i.e. the square oscillator with the comb electrode structure and the disc oscillator with the capacitive structure. Then the fabrication process of the CMR is presented, with the emphasis on some major steps, such as magnetron sputtering for the growth of the thin film and ICP etching. The theoretical analysis for the major parameters of the CMR, such as the resonant frequency, quality factor, temperature stability and motional resistance are made respectively. The specific improvement directions of the parameters for the CMR are given. Meanwhile, some negative impacts of the improvement for some parameters are discussed. Owing to the advantage of the integration, with the enhancement of the frequency, the AlN CMR has wide application prospects in the field of wireless communications.
