An AlN/3C–SiC composite is used to realize high‐frequency and high‐Q acoustic wave resonators by exploiting the third‐order quasi‐symmetric (QS 3 ) Lamb wavemode, as described by C.‐M. Lin, Y.‐Y. Chen, and co‐workers on page 2722 . The epitaxial 3C–SiC layer enhances the electromechanical coupling of the QS 3 mode and boosts the Q due to the intrinsic low acoustic loss of SiC crystals. This AlN/3C–SiC composite plate structure enables production of high‐performance micromechanical acoustic wave resonators for frequency control and sensing applications.
