摘要:
A semiconductor component is provided having a layer sequence for conversion of acoustic to thermal signals and electrical voltage changes to one another, as well as a process for its production. The layer sequence has a lower electrode, an upper electrode and a layer which is arranged between them and is piezoelectrical or pyroelectrical. An auxiliary layer is arranged between the lower electrode and the layer and is used for homogeneously oriented growth of the layer during the production process. The auxiliary layer preferably consists essentially of amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon oxide or amorphous silicon nitride.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a method of producing a resonator in thin-film technology is described. The resonator comprises a piezoelectric layer arranged at least partially between a lower electrode and an upper electrode, the resonator being formed over a substrate. The method comprises: forming the lower electrode of the resonator over the substrate; depositing and patterning an insulating layer over the substrate, the insulating layer comprising a thickness substantially equal to a thickness of the lower electrode; removing a portion of the insulating layer to partially expose a surface of the lower electrode; removing a portion of the insulating layer over the surface of the lower electrode by chemical mechanical polishing; forming the piezoelectric layer over the lower electrode; and producing the upper electrode on the piezoelectric layer.
