These two pictures are SEM scans of the oscillator inside the SiTime SI8002AC.

A great deal of engineering goes into the design, manufacture, and implementation of MEMS devices. MEMS devices truly bridge the gap between electrical and mechanical engineering, and their design involves contributions from industrial, materials, mechanical, electrical, chemical, computer, and software engineers.

A big thanks to Chipworks for providing the amazing images used in this teardown!
