Description

Bulk acoustic wave resonator and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to, but not limited to, radio frequency communication technologies, and more particularly, to a bulk acoustic wave resonator and a method for fabricating the same.
Background
Micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) resonators are widely used in the field of radio frequency communications, and play an extremely important role in the manufacture of micro-filters, duplexers, multiplexers, and the like. The surface acoustic wave resonator in the related technology is mature in process, the resonant frequency can be adjusted through the change of a photoetching pattern, but due to the restriction of photoetching process conditions and the limitation of sound velocity in a piezoelectric material, the surface acoustic wave resonator is difficult to have higher electromechanical coupling coefficient and quality factor above 2.5 gigahertz (GHz), and the manufacturing process is difficult to be compatible with the processing process of a complementary metal oxide semiconductor, so that the surface acoustic wave resonator does not conform to the development trend of miniaturization and integration of electronic products. The bulk acoustic wave resonator in the related art can be applied to the ultrahigh frequency field, but the process is relatively complex, the thickness of the piezoelectric film is small when the resonant frequency is high, and the quality is difficult to guarantee. Lamb wave resonators can have high electromechanical coupling coefficients under ultrahigh frequency, but the requirements on photoetching equipment and process conditions are severe, and the intensity and the number of parasitic modes are more than those of bulk acoustic wave resonators.
Aluminum nitride is a piezoelectric material widely used in MEMS resonators in recent years, and has the advantages of stable chemical properties, good process repeatability, high thermal stability of material parameters, and the like. The main problems of the resonator based on aluminum nitride in manufacturing the filter with the center frequency of more than 3GHz are complex process, narrow process window, low electromechanical coupling coefficient and poor quality of aluminum nitride, and are difficult to meet the requirements of mass production. Therefore, there is a need for a resonator of a new structure that can meet the electrical requirements of uhf filters.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the bottom electrode is directly deposited on the substrate, so that the thinner piezoelectric material can have good crystal face orientation and lower surface roughness; a sacrificial layer process, a substrate back surface photoetching process and a Bragg reflection layer are not needed, so that the process is simpler; the vibration of the piezoelectric material film and the electrode at the edge of the resonator is weakened by using the substrate, so that the parasitic mode is suppressed; when the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole are all circular, the three-dimensional structure of the bulk acoustic wave resonator neglecting the top electrode leading-out electrode and the bottom electrode leading-out electrode can be formed by rotating a two-dimensional geometric model around a central shaft, and modeling simulation is facilitated. The embodiment of the invention can flexibly adjust the area of the upper surface of the substrate material cavity to be close to or even smaller than the area of the effective area of the bulk acoustic wave resonator, ensures that the area supported by the substrate exists between the adjacent resonators under the condition of extremely small distance between the adjacent resonators, effectively relieves the bending problem of the piezoelectric resonator electrode and the piezoelectric material film in the ultrahigh frequency filter with high integration level, and further improves the electrical characteristics of the resonators and the filter.
