摘要: A bulk acoustic (BAW) resonator having a multilayer base and method of fabricating the bulk acoustic resonator is disclosed. A BAW resonator comprises a substrate having a cavity and including a frame around the cavity, a multilayer base adjacent the cavity and supported by the frame. The multilayer base includes a first layer of crystalline material having a first lattice constant and a second layer of crystalline material having a second lattice constant that is distinct from the first lattice constant. The BAW resonator further includes a stack over the multilayer base. The stack includes a first electrode formed on the multilayer base, a piezoelectric layer having a first side coupled to the first electrode and a second side opposite to the first side of the piezoelectric layer, and a second electrode coupled to the second side of the piezoelectric layer.

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: An elastic wave device includes a supporting substrate, a high-acoustic-velocity film stacked on the supporting substrate and in which an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating therein is higher than an acoustic velocity of an elastic wave propagating in a piezoelectric film, a low-acoustic-velocity film stacked on the high-acoustic-velocity film and in which an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating therein is lower than an acoustic velocity of a bulk wave propagating in the piezoelectric film, the piezoelectric film is stacked on the low-acoustic-velocity film, and an IDT electrode stacked on a surface of the piezoelectric film.

摘要: An acoustic wave device includes a scandium-containing aluminum nitride film (ScAlN film), and an electrode on the ScAlN film. The ScAlN film includes at least one portion where a crystal orientation toward 90° from a crystal c-axis direction is rotated about 30°±5° or rotated about 15°±5°, the crystal c-axis direction being a film thickness direction of the ScAlN film or substantially a film thickness direction of the ScAlN film.

摘要: A method of forming a piezoelectric thin film includes sputtering a first surface of a substrate to provide a piezoelectric thin film comprising AlN, AlScN, AlCrN, HfMgAlN, or ZrMgAlN thereon, processing a second surface of the substrate that is opposite the first surface of the substrate to provide an exposed surface of the piezoelectric thin film from beneath the second surface of the substrate, wherein the exposed surface of the piezoelectric thin film includes a first crystalline quality portion, removing a portion of the exposed surface of the piezoelectric thin film to access a second crystalline quality portion that is covered by the first crystalline quality portion, wherein the second crystalline quality portion has a higher quality than the first crystalline quality portion and processing the second crystalline quality portion to provide an acoustic resonator device on the second crystalline quality portion.

摘要: A method of forming a piezoelectric thin film can include depositing a material on a first surface of a Si substrate to provide a stress neutral template layer. A piezoelectric thin film including a Group III element and nitrogen can be sputtered onto the stress neutral template layer and a second surface of the Si substrate that is opposite the first surface can be processed to remove that Si substrate and the stress neutral template layer to provide a remaining portion of the piezoelectric thin film. A piezoelectric resonator can be formed on the remaining portion of the piezoelectric thin film.

摘要: An electrical field detector includes an electromechanical oscillator, part of which is included of a piezoelectric element, a frequency measuring device which is coupled to the oscillator so as to measure the oscillation frequency, and an electrical masking assembly. The electrical masking assembly is arranged close to the piezoelectric element so that, during an use of the detector, the piezoelectric element moves by vibrating relative to the electrical masking assembly. A variable part of the piezoelectric element is thus exposed to the electrical field to be measured. A change in the oscillating frequency then forms an electrical field measurement result.
