Description

Broadband TC-SAW device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of filter devices, and particularly relates to a broadband TC-SAW device and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the development of mobile communication technology and the congestion of frequency Band resources, a terminal communication frequency Band is developed from the traditional 2.7GHz to a higher frequency, and the newly-added frequency Band is mostly a wider broadband at present, for example, a Band42 frequency Band covers 3400 MHz-3600 MHz, and the 1dB relative bandwidth requirement reaches 6%; the Band41 frequency Band covers 2469 MHz-2690 MHz, and the relative bandwidth requirement of 1dB reaches 8%; the n79 frequency band covers 4400 MHz-5000 MHz, and the 1dB relative bandwidth requirement is nearly 13%; the n78 frequency band covers 3300 MHz-3800 MHz, and the 1dB relative bandwidth is closer to 14%; for the low frequency Band71, a wide frequency Band is also required: the frequency band covers 617MHz to 652MHz, and the relative bandwidth requirement of 1dB reaches 6 percent.
For the 5G communication base station end, the requirement of wider bandwidth is also put forward, if n260 requires the frequency band to cover 37 GHz-40 GHz, the 1dB relative bandwidth requirement reaches 8%; the n257 requires the frequency band to cover 26.5 GHz-29.5 GHz, and the 1dB relative bandwidth requirement reaches 11%; the n258 requires the frequency band to cover 24.25 GHz-27.5 GHz, and the 1dB relative bandwidth requirement reaches 12.5%.
In military communication equipment, due to the miniaturization of equipment and the transceiving of broadband signals, such as the miniaturization requirements of radio frequency front ends of military handsets, radio stations, navigation and the like and transceiving modules, the traditional LC filter and dielectric filter can realize low loss of broadband within the frequency range of 0.5-5 GHz, but the size is more than 10mm multiplied by 5mm, the size is large, and the miniaturization requirement cannot be met.
The traditional low-loss SAW filter is limited by an electromechanical coupling coefficient, and the relative bandwidth of the leaky surface wave low-loss filter on the lithium tantalate material is generally within 5%; the leaky surface wave low-loss filter on the 41-64 degree Y-cut lithium niobate material generally has a relative bandwidth within 11%; the bandwidth expansion of about 1 to 3 percent can be realized by an external matching mode.
The larger electromechanical coupling coefficient is selected on the premise of realizing the SAW large-bandwidth filter, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the SH wave of the 0-90-degree Y-cut lithium niobate material reaches 20-35 percent, and the low-loss filter with the relative bandwidth of 10-30 percent can be realized. The lithium niobate material with the Y-cut of 0-90 degrees can be used for manufacturing a broadband low-loss filter, but the temperature coefficient of the lithium niobate material is usually above-80 ppm/DEG C, and can cause the temperature drift of 1.2 percent of the relative bandwidth within the full temperature range of-55 ℃ to +85 ℃, so that a composite material with large electromechanical coupling coefficient, small temperature coefficient and higher Q value needs to be searched.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a Temperature compensated surface acoustic wave filter (TC-SAW) with a wide band and a small Temperature coefficient, so as to solve the problem that the existing SAW filter can not meet the market demand.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a broadband TC-SAW device comprises a single crystal piezoelectric film layer, a temperature compensation layer, a high sound velocity film layer and a substrate layer which are sequentially stacked.
Wherein the single crystal piezoelectric thin film layer is made of lithium niobate or lithium tantalate. Different cut shapes can be provided according to different electromechanical coupling coefficient and temperature coefficient requirements. Further, the cutting shape of the lithium tantalate material is 0-60 degree Y-cut, and the cutting shape of the lithium niobate material is 0-90 degree Y-cut. Furthermore, the thickness of the single crystal piezoelectric film layer is 0.05-10 times of the wavelength. For the broadband filter, a piezoelectric thin film material with a large electromechanical coupling coefficient needs to be selected.
Wherein the temperature compensation layer is silicon dioxide grown by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) sputtering or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Further, the thickness of the temperature compensation layer is 0.1-10 times of the wavelength. Generally, the temperature coefficient is decreased as the thickness of silica is increased, but the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the Q value may be increased or decreased, in consideration of a combination of parameters such as the electromechanical coupling coefficient, the resonator Q value, and the temperature coefficient.
Wherein the high acoustic velocity thin film layer is made of Diamond (Diamond) or sapphire (sapphire). Because the surface waves they excite have a faster speed of sound. Further, the thickness of the high sound velocity film layer is 0.1-10 times of the wavelength.
Wherein the substrate layer is made of silicon or silicon carbide. And the like with good heat dissipation. The thickness is 50 times wavelength or more.
And further, the device also comprises an interdigital transducer, wherein the interdigital transducer is positioned between any two adjacent layers of the single crystal piezoelectric film layer, the temperature compensation layer, the high sound velocity film layer and the substrate layer.
In addition, the invention also provides a preparation method of the broadband TC-SAW device, which is characterized in that the single crystal piezoelectric film layer, the temperature compensation layer, the high sound velocity film layer and the substrate layer are sequentially laminated for preparation.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the device has the advantages of large organic electric coupling coefficient, small temperature coefficient and higher Q value.
2. Compared with a common broadband filter, the temperature coefficient is smaller.
