Abstract
This article described recent research in the Time and Frequency Division at NIST to develop highly miniaturized atomic frequency references using microfabrication technologies. We discuss the overall physics package design, fabrication of individual components, assembly and testing. A connection with work of John Harrison in the 18th century is made.Citation
