Abstract

Metallization layer structures for reduced changes in radio frequency characteristics due to registration error and associated methods are provided herein. An example resonator includes a first conductive layer defining an error limiting feature and a second conductive layer. The resonator further includes at least one communication feature configured to electrically couple the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer at a communication position. The error limiting feature is configured to reduce changes in radio frequency characteristics of the resonator due to registration error. Methods of manufacturing resonators are also provided herein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A resonator comprising:
a first conductive layer defining an error limiting feature, wherein the first conductive layer defines a first end and an opposing second end, and a first lateral edge and an opposing second lateral edge, wherein the error limiting feature of the first conductive layer defines an extension portion proximate the second end that extends laterally from the first lateral edge;
a second conductive layer; and
at least one communication…
