摘要: A bulk acoustic resonator includes a stack structures, including a piezoelectric layer having a first side and an opposing second side; a first electrode disposed under the first side of the piezoelectric layer; a second electrode disposed over the second side of the piezoelectric layer; and a multistep structure with a bottom part having first dimensions disposed between the piezoelectric layer and second electrode and a second part having second dimensions, different from the first dimensions, disposed between the bottom part of the multistep structure and the second electrode. An active region of the stack is configured to resonate in response to an electrical signal applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the multistep structure is arranged to provide destructive interference of lateral acoustic waves within the bulk acoustic resonator.

摘要: A bulk acoustic wave resonator with better performance and better manufacturability is described. The bulk acoustic wave resonator includes a composite piezoelectric film. The composite piezoelectric film includes a first sublayer of a first piezoelectric material, a second sublayer of a second piezoelectric material, and a third sublayer of a third piezoelectric material that is disposed between the first sublayer and the second sublayer. The first piezoelectric material has a first lattice constant, the second piezoelectric material has a second lattice constant, and the third piezoelectric material has a third lattice constant that is distinct from the first lattice constant and from the second lattice constant. The composite piezoelectric film may include a sequence of alternating sublayers of two or more distinct piezoelectric materials, or a sequence of composition graded layers having gradually changing composition.

摘要: Devices and processes for preparing devices are described for reducing resonance of spurious waves in a bulk acoustic resonator and/or for obstructing propagation of lateral waves out of an active region of the bulk acoustic resonator. A first electrode is coupled to a first side of a piezoelectric layer and a second electrode is coupled to a second side of the piezoelectric layer to form a stack having the active region. The piezoelectric layer in the active region is configured to resonate in response to an electrical signal applied between the first electrode and the second electrode. One or more perforations in the first electrode, the piezoelectric layer and/or the second electrode, and/or one or more posts or beams supporting the stack, reduce resonance of spurious waves and obstruct propagation of lateral acoustic waves out of the active region.

摘要: Devices and processes for preparing devices are described for a bulk acoustic wave resonator. A stack formed over a substrate includes a piezoelectric film element, a first (e.g., bottom) electrode coupled to a first side of the piezoelectric film element, and a second (e.g., top) electrode that is coupled to a second side of the piezoelectric film element. A cavity is positioned between the stack and the substrate. The resonator includes one or more planarizing layers, including a first planarizing layer around the cavity, wherein a first portion of the first electrode is adjacent the cavity and a second portion of the first electrode is adjacent the first planarizing layer. The resonator optionally includes an air reflector around the perimeter of the piezoelectric film element. The stack is configured to resonate in response to an electrical signal applied between the first electrode and the second electrode.

摘要: A device is disclosed for monitoring power from a laser diode. The device includes a substrate having a top surface and a first facet perpendicular to the top surface through which light enters the substrate. The device further includes a second facet onto which light that has entered the substrate through the first facet along an optical axis that is non-normal to the first facet is incident. The device further includes a photodiode fabricated on the top surface of the substrate for measuring an intensity of the light that enters the first facet of the substrate along the optical axis that is non-normal to the first facet. The light that has entered the substrate through the first facet along the optical axis that is non-normal to the first facet is reflected by the second facet toward a photoactive region of the photodiode.

The T-shaped gate contact is generally electrically separated from the channel and comprises a column portion and a cap portion. The field plate may be disposed above the active area of the device. The field plate is generally adjacent to and laterally separated from the cap portion of the T-shaped gate contact. The second passivation layer generally covers the first passivation layer, the cap portion of the T-shaped gate contact, and the field plate.
