1. A temperature-compensated film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device, comprising:
an FBAR stack, comprising:
an FBAR characterized by a resonant frequency having a temperature coefficient, the FBAR comprising opposed planar electrodes and a piezoelectric element between the electrodes, the piezoelectric element having a temperature coefficient on which the temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency depends at least in part, and a temperature-compensating layer between the electrodes comprising doped silicon dioxide.
