There is provided a cavity resonator for reducing the phase noise of electromagnetic waves output from a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) by utilizing a semiconductor (e.g., silicon, GaAs or InP) micro machining technique. In the cavity, instead of an existing metal cavity, a cavity, which is obtained by micro machining silicon or a compound semiconductor, is coupled to a microstrip line to allow the cavity resonator to be adopted in a reflection type voltage controlled oscillator. A coupling slot is formed by removing a predetermined size of the part of an upper ground plane film of a cavity facing to the microstrip line. Consequently, the cavity resonator reduces the phase noise of microwaves or millimeter waves which are output from a voltage controlled oscillator.
