    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A bulk acoustic wave device that provides a high spectral purity, high Q, resonator in the radio frequency and microwave frequency ranges. Such resonators may be coupled together to form filters or other frequency selective devices. The bulk acoustical wave filter is constructed from a piezoelectric (PZ) material having a first surface and a second surface and first and second electrodes. The first electrode includes an electrically conducting layer on the first surface, and the second electrode includes an electrically conducting layer on the second surface. The first electrode overlies at least a portion of the second electrode, the portion of the first electrode that overlies the second electrode has a periphery which is a non-rectangular, irregular polygon. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the periphery is a three-sided, four-sided, or n-sided irregular polygon in which no two sides are parallel to one another.

    Abstract: A filter, such as a transmit filter of a duplexer, includes an array of acoustic resonators that cooperate to establish an asymmetrically shaped filter response over a target frequency passband. The acoustic resonators are preferably film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs). The filter response defines an insertion loss profile in which a minimum insertion loss within the target passband is located at or near a first end of the frequency passband, while the maximum insertion loss is located at or near the opposite end of the frequency passband. In the transmit filter embodiment, the minimum insertion loss is at or near the high frequency end of the filter response, which is tailored by selectively locating poles and zeros of the array of FBARs.
