Micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) resonator and manufacturing method thereof

1. A micro-electro-mechanical-system resonator, comprising:

a substrate;

a fixed electrode formed on the substrate; and

a movable electrode, arranged facing the fixed electrode and driven by an electrostatic attracting force or an electrostatic repulsion force that acts on a gap between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode,

wherein the electrostatic attracting force or the electrostatic repulsion force acting on the gap between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode causes the movable electrode to vibrate, and

wherein an internal surface of a support beam of the movable electrode facing the fixed electrode has an inclined surface with an inclination angle of from 5°-15 °.

2. The micro-electro-mechanical-system resonator according to claim 1 , wherein the gap has a constant distance.
