摘要:
The film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) device comprises a substrate, an acoustic Bragg reflector over the substrate, a piezoelectric element over the acoustic Bragg reflector, and a remote-side electrode over the piezoelectric element. The acoustic Bragg reflector comprises a metal Bragg layer juxtaposed with a plastic Bragg layer. The large ratio between the acoustic impedances of the plastic material of the plastic Bragg layer and the metal of the metal Bragg layer provides sufficient acoustic isolation between the FBAR and the substrate for the frequency response of the FBAR device to exhibit minor, if any, spurious artifacts arising from undesirable acoustic coupling between the FBAR and the substrate.
摘要:
A method for fabricating an acoustic resonator, for example a Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR), on a substrate. A depression is etched and filled with sacrificial material. The FBAR is fabricated on the substrate spanning the depression, the FBAR having an etch hole. The depression may include etch channels in which case the FBAR may include etch holes aligned with the etch channels. A resonator resulting from the application of the technique is suspended in air and includes at least one etch hole and may include etch channels.

The apparatus includes a resonator and an inductor that is connected to the resonator. Both the resonator and the inductor are fabricated over their respective cavities to produce a high Q-factor filter circuit.
摘要:
In an array of acoustic resonators, the effective coupling coefficient of first and second filters are individually tailored in order to achieve desired frequency responses. In a duplexer embodiment, the effective coupling coefficient of a transmit band-pass filter is lower than the effective coupling coefficient of a receive band-pass filter of the same duplexer. In one embodiment, the tailoring of the coefficients is achieved by varying the ratio of the thickness of a piezoelectric layer to the total thickness of electrode layers. For example, the total thickness of the electrode layers of the transmit filter may be in the range of 1.2 to 2.8 times the total thickness of the electrode layers of the receive filter. In another embodiment, the coefficient tailoring is achieved by forming a capacitor in parallel with an acoustic resonator within the filter for which the effective coupling coefficient is to be degraded. Preferably, the capacitor is formed of the same materials used to fabricate a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR). The capacitor may be mass loaded to change its frequency by depositing a metal layer on the capacitor. Alternatively, the mass loading may be provided by forming the capacitor directly on a substrate.

Method for fabricating an acoustical resonator on a substrate having a top surface. First, a depression in said top surface is generated. Next, the depression is filled with a sacrificial material. The filled depression has an upper surface level with said top surface of said substrate. Next, a first electrode is deposited on said upper surface. Then, a layer of piezoelectric material is deposited on said first electrode. A second electrode is deposited on the layer of piezoelectric material using a mass load lift-off process.

The invention proposes several improvements related to the management of secure elements, like UICCs embedding Sim applications, these secure elements being installed, fixedly or not, in terminals, like for example mobile phones. In some cases, the terminals are constituted by machines that communicate with other machines for M2M (Machine to Machine) applications.
摘要:
A status monitoring and reporting mechanism which distinguishes more significant events and prominently displays events pertaining to nodes, interconnections, and other network entities which may present problems, and to suppresses benign messages which may not require immediate attention, provides an “at a glance” view of overall system health. By processing and displaying aggregate status events from a plurality of agent components to highlight the most severe and critical events from among a large volume of general status events allows an operator to quickly diagnose potential problems before detrimental results occur, and helps maintain a general efficient system health by isolating less efficient areas to allow for timely remedial action prior to failure. Various agents disseminated in a storage area network determine and report status events back to a central server. The server receives, aggregates, and processes the status events to display a status array indicative of overall system health.
