The radio frequency acoustic filter device is constituted by a resonance device.

Although BAW resonator devices have advantages in performance and high frequency, the manufacturing process of BAW resonator devices is complicated, increasing the manufacturing cost of BAW resonator devices, and it is difficult to meet the demand of consumer electronics market.

The present embodiment improves the operating frequency and performance of the resonator device by combining the film layers (i.e. the wafer substrate 10, the piezoelectric layer 20, and the interdigital electrode layer 30) of the resonator device. The principle is as follows:
the magnitude of the wave velocity of the sound wave propagating in the solid material depends on the bulk modulus of elasticity and the density of the solid material; the larger the ratio of the bulk modulus to the density is, the larger the wave velocity is; the ratio of the bulk elastic modulus to the density of the sapphire wafer substrate 10 is extremely high, and meanwhile, the bulk elastic modulus of the piezoelectric single crystal material has anisotropy (the value of which is different in each lattice direction), and the bonding modes of the sapphire wafer substrate 10 and the piezoelectric single crystal material, that is, the bonding modes can utilize the maximum bulk elastic modulus of the piezoelectric single crystal material, so that the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the resonator device is greatly increased by the bonding modes, and particularly, the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the wafer substrate 10 and the piezoelectric layer 20 is greatly increased.
Because f is v/(2 × Wpi), where f is the operating frequency of the resonator, v is the wave velocity of surface acoustic wave propagation in the resonator, and Wpi is the spacing between the interdigital electrodes, this implementation improves the operating frequency of the resonator by increasing the wave velocity v of surface acoustic wave propagation in the wafer substrate 10 and the piezoelectric layer 20 without changing the spacing between the interdigital electrodes, and meanwhile, because this implementation can improve the operating frequency of the resonator only in the case of setting the above-mentioned combination mode, it is not necessary to change the spacing between the interdigital electrodes and adjust the electrode width of the resonator, it is ensured that the resonator has low manufacturing cost; in addition, the piezoelectric layer 20 is bonded with the wafer substrate 10 in the specific directions, so that the angle formed by the placement direction of the resonant device and the main positioning edge of the wafer substrate 10 is small, and the utilization rate of the wafer substrate 10 is maximized.
Because the piezoelectric single crystal material has the characteristic of anisotropy, the piezoelectric layer 20 is bonded with the wafer substrate 10 in the specific directions to adjust the internal geometric shape and structure of the resonance device, so that the piezoelectric effect generated by the piezoelectric layer 20 is enhanced, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonance device is improved, and the performance of the resonance device is enhanced.
In summary, the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention solves the technical problem that both the SAW resonator device and the BAW resonator device in the prior art cannot give consideration to low manufacturing cost, high working frequency and performance of the resonator device, and improves the working frequency and performance of the resonator device while ensuring the low manufacturing cost of the resonator device, thereby being beneficial to meeting the requirements of the 5G communication standard.

When the resonator device 100 is in operation, the first interdigital electrode 310 inputs a power supply signal Vin through the bus bar 311, and the second interdigital electrode 320 inputs a ground signal GND through the bus bar 321, so that the interdigital electrode layer 30 can apply an electric field in a direction perpendicular to the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 in the piezoelectric layer 20, that is, an electric field in the device direction N3, so that an electric field in the device direction N3 is generated in the whole thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer 20, and further, a surface acoustic wave propagating along the device direction N3, that is, a longitudinally polarized acoustic wave is excited, and the surface acoustic wave is converted into a corresponding electric signal to be output, so as to implement filtering.

With reference to fig. 2, 13 and 14, optionally, the resonator device 100 further includes an acoustic reflection grating 330, the acoustic reflection grating 330 is located on a side of the piezoelectric layer 20 away from the wafer substrate 10, the acoustic reflection grating 330 is disposed on two sides of the interdigitated electrode layer 30 along the second direction N2, and is insulated from the interdigitated electrode layer 30; each acoustic reflection grating 330 includes a plurality of metal strips 331 extending along the second direction N2, a width Wr of the metal strips 331 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) being greater than 0.2 times a width We of the first and second interdigital electrodes 310 and 320 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) and less than 10 times the width We of the first and second interdigital electrodes 310 and 320 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3); wherein the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) is parallel to the wafer substrate 10 and perpendicular to the second direction N2; the pitch Wg of the interdigital electrode layer 30 from the adjacent metal strip 331 is greater than 0.2 times the width We of the first and second interdigital electrodes 310 and 320 in the third direction N3, and less than 10 times the width We of the first and second interdigital electrodes 310 and 320 in the third direction N3.
Specifically, the material of acoustic reflection grating 330 may be the same as or different from the material of first interdigital electrode 310 and second interdigital electrode 320. The two ends of the metal strip 331 in the acoustic reflection grating 330 are connected to the bus bars, namely the bus bar 332 and the bus bar 333, respectively. The bus bars connecting the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 may or may not be connected to the bus bars connected to the metal bars 331 in the acoustic reflection grating 330, and fig. 2 and 13 each show a case where the bus bars connecting the interdigital electrodes are not connected to the bus bars connected to the metal bars in the acoustic reflection grating. In the embodiment, the acoustic reflection grids 330 are arranged on the two sides of the interdigital electrode layer, so that the surface acoustic waves transmitted to the outside of the acoustic reflection grids 330 on the two sides from the resonator device can be reduced based on the diffraction principle of the acoustic waves, the surface acoustic waves are limited in the resonator device along the third direction N3, and the energy conversion efficiency between the electric energy and the mechanical energy of the resonator device is improved.
The distance Wg between the interdigital electrode layer 30 and the adjacent metal strip 331 is the distance between the metal strip 331 closest to the interdigital electrode in the acoustic reflection grating and the first interdigital electrode 310 or the second interdigital electrode 320 closest to the acoustic reflection grating in the interdigital electrode layer. Fig. 14 schematically shows a case where the widths We of the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3) are both, and this embodiment, by providing the width 0.25We < Wr < 10We of the metal strip 331 in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3), and the distance 0.2We < Wg < 10We between the interdigital electrode layer 30 and the adjacent metal strip 331, helps to reduce the diffraction of the acoustic wave generated by the resonant device through the acoustic reflection grating, thereby further reducing the surface acoustic wave propagated to the outside of the acoustic reflection grating 330 on both sides of the resonant device, and helping to confine the surface acoustic wave to the inside of the resonant device in the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3), thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency between the electrical energy and the mechanical energy of the resonant device.

With reference to fig. 13 and 14, optionally, the total number of the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 is set to be greater than 50, so as to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator device by adjusting the number of the interdigital electrodes, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonator device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonator device. Optionally, the total number of the metal strips 331 in the acoustic reflection grating 330 is set to be greater than 50, so as to reduce the surface acoustic wave propagating from the resonator device to the outside of the acoustic reflection grating 330 on both sides, which is helpful to limit the surface acoustic wave inside the resonator device along the third direction (i.e., the device direction N3), and further improve the energy conversion efficiency between the electrical energy and the mechanical energy of the resonator device.
With reference to fig. 13 and 14, alternatively, the length of the overlap of the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 along the second direction N2 is 15 μm < La < 200 μm, and the distance between the second interdigital electrode 320 and the bus bar 311 (i.e., the distance between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the bus bar 321) is 250 μm < Lg < 5 μm, so as to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator device, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonator device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonator device.
With reference to fig. 13 and 14, alternatively, the distance 500nm < Wpi < 2 μm between the adjacent first interdigital electrode 310 and second interdigital electrode 320 in the interdigital electrode 30 is set, and the distance between the adjacent first interdigital electrode 310 and second interdigital electrode 320 may specifically be the distance between the center of the first interdigital electrode 310 in the third direction (i.e., device direction N3) and the center of the adjacent second interdigital electrode 320 in the third direction (i.e., device direction N3). Since f is v/(2 × Wpi), where f is the operating frequency of the resonator device and v is the wave velocity of the surface acoustic wave propagating in the resonator device, the smaller the distance Wpi between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 is, the operating frequency of the resonator device is, and the distance between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 is, while the wave velocity is unchanged, the present embodiment increases the operating frequency of the resonator device by setting the distance between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320.
With reference to fig. 13 and 14, optionally, the thickness of the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 in the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is 50nm < Te < 200nm, the thickness of the passivation layer 50 between the surface of the piezoelectric layer 20 on the side away from the wafer substrate 10 and the surface of the passivation layer 50 on the side close to the piezoelectric layer 20 is 100nm < Tp1 < 600nm, and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 20 in the direction perpendicular to the wafer substrate 10 is 300nm < Tp2 < 1 μm, so as to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator device by adjusting the thickness of the interdigital electrodes, the thickness of the passivation layer, and the thickness of the piezoelectric layer, thereby enhancing the performance of the resonator device and increasing the operating frequency of the resonator device.
On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, one or more dielectric layers may be further disposed between the piezoelectric layer and the wafer substrate to adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonant device, so as to improve the performance of the resonant device.

Fig. 18 is a schematic diagram of stress distribution of the resonator device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 18 schematically shows stress distribution of each film layer of the resonator device shown in fig. 13 under the action of an electric field. In conjunction with fig. 13, 14 and 18, under the action of the electric field, the mechanical stress generated by the resonant device is mainly present in the piezoelectric layer 20, the interdigital electrode layer and the passivation layer 50, and only a small amount of stress is present in the wafer substrate 10. And since the first interdigital electrode 310 inputs the power supply signal Vin and the second interdigital electrode 320 inputs the ground signal GND, the second interdigital electrode 320 can generate opposite electric fields E1 and E2 in the entire thickness direction of the piezoelectric layer 20 with the first interdigital electrodes 310 on both sides, respectively, and accordingly, the stress generated by the resonator device in the piezoelectric layer 20 reaches an extreme value. It is illustrated in fig. 18 that the stress in the piezoelectric layer 20 at the position corresponding to between the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 reaches a maximum value (close to Max), and the stress in the piezoelectric layer 20 at the position corresponding to the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 reaches a minimum value (close to-Max), respectively.
Fig. 19 is a schematic diagram of vibration displacement distribution of the resonator device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 19 schematically illustrates vibration displacement distribution of each film layer of the resonator device shown in fig. 13 under the action of an electric field. Referring to fig. 13, 14 and 19, the displacement of vibration caused by standing waves generated in the propagation of acoustic waves in the resonant device is mainly in the piezoelectric layer 20, the interdigital electrode layer and the passivation layer 50, and there is only a small displacement in the wafer substrate 10. As illustrated in fig. 19, the vibration displacement at the position in the piezoelectric layer 20 corresponding to the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 reaches a minimum value (close to Min), and the vibration displacement at the position in the piezoelectric layer 20 corresponding to the first interdigital electrode 310 and the second interdigital electrode 320 reaches a maximum value (close to Max).
Fig. 20 is an admittance characteristic curve of the resonator device according to the embodiment of the present invention, which may be obtained by performing a simulation experiment on the resonator device shown in fig. 13 and 14. As shown in fig. 20 (a), when the eigenfrequency is used for simulation, the resonant frequency, that is, the operating frequency of the resonant device provided in the embodiment of the present invention is 1.75GHz, and the corresponding electromechanical coupling coefficient Kt2Up to 32.7%, as shown in fig. 20 (b), where fig. 20 (b) is the wide-frequency response of fig. 20 (a), and the operating frequency is 0.1GHz to 4GHz under the same parameters, it can be seen that the solution of this embodiment helps to improve the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the operating frequency of the resonator device, and helps to determine the preferred structure and size of the resonator device according to the thickness and width of each film layer of the resonator device, the size and position of the interdigital electrode, and the size and position of the acoustic reflection grating relative to the interdigital electrode corresponding to the solution.
