Description

Surface acoustic wave resonator de-embedding method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of surface acoustic wave filters, and particularly relates to a design of a surface acoustic wave resonator de-embedding method.
Background
Surface acoustic wave filters (SAW filters) are widely used in wireless communications such as cell phones, base stations, etc. The main design tool for current SAW filters is the coupled mode (COM) model. An important element in SAW filter design is the extraction of COM models. The high-precision COM model can improve the success rate of circuit design and reduce the number of design versions due to inaccurate models. The COM model is extracted from the admittance curve of the resonator (IDT), so the accuracy of the admittance measurement of the IDT determines the accuracy of the COM model and the simulation accuracy of the SAW filter finally designed with the COM model.
Accurate measurement of SAW IDT admittance curves faces two problems. The first problem is the difference in dielectric constant between the calibration substrate and the piezoelectric substrate in which the SAW IDT is located. The use of a calibration substrate is a common technique for on-chip measurement, whereas the calibration substrate material is typically alumina with a dielectric constant of around 10. The substrates commonly used for SAW filters are lithium tantalate and lithium niobate, with dielectric constants around 50, and specific values vary with the cut angle. The higher dielectric constant of the piezoelectric substrate brings about larger parasitic capacitance in the probe test, which affects the test accuracy. The second problem is the difference in the feeding structure of the alignment substrate and IDT. The feed structure on the alignment substrate is typically a ground-signal-ground (GSG) coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure and the probe contact is around 50x50 square microns. The input and output ports of the IDT require excitation of signals and ground, and the IDT test structure, whether dual-port or single-port, involves conversion from the probe GSG CPW to the ports of the input and output of the IDT. IDTs of different frequencies are different in size, and IDTs of low frequencies are about 500×100 square micrometers in size. Thus, the difference of the feed structures brings additional parasitic parameters to influence the measurement result of the IDT. The two factors that affect IDT measurement described above require accurate de-embedding techniques to eliminate.
Port extension (port-extension) is a SAW IDT de-embedding technique that may be used in practical applications. Port extension extends the calibrated reference plane to the root of the IDT by measuring an open or short circuit device. The method is simple and quick, but has limited precision, the inaccuracy factors can not be comprehensively removed, and the use of the port extension can only achieve limited test precision.

In the prior art SAW processes, aluminum or copper electrodes are used for the IDT layer, and their thickness and resistivity make the IDT layer suitable for realizing a low-dispersion sheet resistance.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the embodiment of the present invention uses IDT layer metal as a resistive layer, and the meander line resistor has small dispersion at GHz frequency, which is very suitable for being used as an impedance standard.
