A dielectric is deposited on one side of a piezoelectric and an IDT and a reflector are arranged as electrodes on the boundary of the piezoelectric and the dielectric, wherein the thickness of the electrodes is set such that the sound velocity of the SH type elastic boundary wave becomes lower than the sound velocity of a slow transverse wave propagating through the dielectric and the sound velocity of a slow transverse wave propagating through the piezoelectric.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of acoustic boundary wave equipment of the SH of utilization type acoustic boundary wave, particularly, relate to a kind of boundary acoustic wave device: electrode is arranged on boundary between piezoelectric substance and the node substrate with this spline structure.
Background technology
Up to now, various surface acoustic wave devices are used for resonator among the RF of mobile phone and IF filter, the VCO and the VIT filter in the TV.Surface acoustic wave device has used R wave (Rayleigh wave) or first leaky wave of propagating along the surface of medium (firstleaky wave).
Because propagate on the surface along medium, surface acoustic wave is relatively more responsive for the surface condition of medium.Therefore,, surface acoustic wave element has been sealed in the shell with cavity part, so that the surface of above-mentioned explanation is placed wherein in order to protect along the surface of the medium of its propagation surface sound wave.Owing to used the shell that has cavity as mentioned above, improved the cost of surface acoustic wave device inevitably.In addition, because the size of shell becomes much larger than the size of surface acoustic wave element, also increased the size of surface acoustic wave device inevitably.
Except above-mentioned surface acoustic wave, for sound wave, the acoustic boundary wave of propagating along the border between the solid matter has appearred also.

2Compare bigger with the coefficient of Stoneley ripple.In addition, still under the situation of SH type acoustic boundary wave, identical with the situation of Stoneley ripple, do not need cavity.In addition,, think and Stoneley phase of wave ratio that the reflection coefficient of the band of formation IDT reflector is bigger because SH type acoustic boundary wave is a kind of SH type ripple.Therefore, for example when forming resonator or resonator filter,, can realize miniaturization, in addition, think to obtain more precipitous characteristic by utilizing SH type acoustic boundary wave.
As a kind of boundary acoustic wave device, need bigger electromechanical coefficient, in addition, also need the temperature coefficient of less propagation loss, power circuit current flow angle and frequency.Follow the propagation of acoustic boundary wave loss to occur, promptly, the degenerated insertion loss of acoustic boundary wave filter of propagation loss, or the impedance ratio of the acoustic boundary wave resonator of having degenerated, impedance ratio are the ratios between the resonance at the resonant resistance at resonance frequency place or impedance and anti-resonance frequency place.Therefore, propagation loss is the smaller the better.
The power circuit current flow angle shows the angle of the direction difference between the group velocity of the phase velocity of acoustic boundary wave and its energy.When the power circuit current flow angle is big, must as one man tilt to place IDT with the power circuit current flow angle.As a result, the design of electrode becomes complicated.In addition, because the deviation of angle is easy to generate loss.
In addition, when temperature change during the frequency of operation of boundary acoustic wave device, under the situation of acoustic boundary wave filter, reduced actual passband and attenuation band zone.Under the situation of resonator, when forming oscillating circuit, the frequency of operation that said temperature causes changes and has caused unusual vibration.Therefore, every degree centigrade frequency change (TCF) is the smaller the better.
For example, be provided with along the direction of propagation when reflector, and be in and be provided with beyond the zone that transmits and receives IDT, the described IDT of transmitting and receiving transmits and receives acoustic boundary wave respectively, so, can form resonance filter with low loss.The bandwidth of this resonance filter depends on the electromechanical coefficient of acoustic boundary wave.As electromechanical coefficient k

Embodiment
Below, instantiation of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that make the present invention more apparent.
When acoustic boundary wave was propagated between two solid layer, must meet the following conditions: the concentration of energy of acoustic boundary wave was between solid layer.In this case, as mentioned above, at " Investigation ofPiezoelectric SH Type Boundary Acoustic Wave ", Technical Report, TheInstitute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Vol.96, No.249 (US96 45-53), the 21st to 26 page, in 1966, disclose a kind of method, wherein selected material, so that the velocity of sound of the shear wave of the velocity of sound of the shear wave of isotropic substance and BGSW substrate is closer to each other, density between it is less, and piezoelectric property is stronger.
Usually, when presenting high-speed region and low-speed region, ripple concentrates on the lower location of the velocity of sound, and propagates therein.Therefore, the present inventor finds, when by will be for example metal material with greater density and low velocity of sound such as Au increase thickness of electrode as being arranged on two electrode materials between the solid layer, thereby during the velocity of sound of the acoustic boundary wave that reduces to propagate between the solid layer, can satisfy the condition of concentration of energy between solid layer, as a result, realized the present invention.
Before, known three types the bulk wave of in solid matter, propagating, that is, and compressional wave, fast shear wave and shear wave at a slow speed, and respectively it is referred to as P ripple, SH ripple and SV ripple.Determine by the anisotropic properties of base material whether SH ripple and SV ripple become shear wave at a slow speed.In above-mentioned three types bulk wave, the bulk wave with minimum velocity of sound is a shear wave at a slow speed.When solid matter is SiO for example
2Isotropic substance the time, can only propagate one type shear wave therein, this shear wave is a shear wave at a slow speed.
In addition, in the acoustic boundary wave of in the anisotropy base material of for example Piezoelectric Substrates, propagating, in most cases, be coupled in the time of the propagation of three displacement components of P ripple, SH ripple and SV ripple, determine the type of acoustic boundary wave by fundamental component.For example, the Stoneley ripple is the acoustic boundary wave that mainly is made of P ripple and SV ripple, and SH type acoustic boundary wave is the acoustic boundary wave that mainly is made of the SH component.In addition, depend on condition, under the situation about not being coupled between it, SH wave component and P ripple or SV wave component can propagated in some cases.
In acoustic boundary wave, because above-mentioned three kinds of displacement components are coupled, in the acoustic boundary wave that has faster than the velocity of sound of SH ripple, leak SH component and SV component when propagating, and in the acoustic boundary wave that has faster than the velocity of sound of SV ripple, leak the SV component.This leaky wave causes the propagation loss of acoustic boundary wave.
Therefore, when with two kinds of two kinds of solid layer at a slow speed shear wave compare, reduce the velocity of sound of SH type acoustic boundary wave, when making it low, the concentration of energy of SH type acoustic boundary wave can be arranged at around two electrodes between the solid layer, and can propagate and have big electromechanical coefficient k
2SH type acoustic boundary wave; Therefore, the result can access propagation loss and be 0 condition.Realize the present invention based on above-mentioned consideration.
In addition, when forming at least one solid layer by piezoelectric substance, and when forming other solid layer, encourage SH type acoustic boundary wave by the electrode that is arranged between the solid layer by the dielectric material that comprises piezoelectric substance.Knowledge according to the present inventor, when piezoelectric substance is used as dielectric material, and when the inexpensive films formation method by for example sputter or CVD formed the film of piezoelectric substance, the piezoelectric constant of piezoelectric substance became instability, and can produce unnecessary signal imitation; Therefore, preferably, the material that will have non-piezoelectric property is as dielectric material.

When the thickness of electrode hour, compare with SH type acoustic boundary wave, the Stoneley ripple is slower; Yet when increasing thickness of electrode, SH type acoustic boundary wave becomes with the Stoneley phase of wave fuller.Reason is to be sure of and Stoneley phase of wave ratio that at the place, boundary layer with slow velocity of sound, the energy concentration of SH type acoustic boundary wave is apparent in view.
Depend on LiNbO
3The Eulerian angles of substrate change the become thickness of the electrode that is higher or lower than SH type acoustic boundary wave of velocity of sound at its Stoneley of place ripple; Yet, at the thickness of electrode place of 0.01 λ in the 0.03 λ scope, above-mentioned relationship change between it has appearred.In example 2,4 and 5, the reason that produces the signal imitation that is caused by the Stonley ripple in the frequency side of the response that is higher than SH type acoustic boundary wave is exactly this phenomenon.
As mentioned above, in the time will being arranged on the frequency side that is higher than as the response of the SH type acoustic boundary wave of main response as the response of the Stoneley ripple of signal imitation, the velocity of sound of Stoneley ripple becomes and is higher than the velocity of sound of SH type acoustic boundary wave.In this case, when the velocity of sound that reduces SH type acoustic boundary wave, when making the velocity of sound of its shear wave at a slow speed that is lower than the two media that forms the border, and the velocity of sound that increases the Stoneley ripple, make its shear wave at a slow speed that is higher than the two media that forms the border the velocity of sound at least one of them the time, increase Stoneley wave propagation loss, therefore, can suppress signal imitation.When utilizing IDT to form boundary acoustic wave device, response frequency by doubling acoustic boundary wave and the band cycle λ I of IDT can access the velocity of sound of the acoustic boundary wave of propagating in the IDT part.
In addition, except Au, Ag, Cu or Al, for example, can utilize the conducting film that constitutes by Fe, Ni, W, Ta, Pt, Mo, Cr, Ti, ZnO or ITO to form electrode.In addition, in order to improve bonding and the electrical power impedance, at least one the second electrode lay of being made by the different metal material of for example Ti, Cr or NiCr alloy can be laminated on the electrode layer of being made by Au, Ag, Cu, Al or its alloy.In this case, the second electrode lay can be arranged between first electrode layer and the piezoelectric substance, or between first electrode layer and the dielectric material, perhaps, the second electrode lay can be arranged on above-mentioned two positions.
In addition, in boundary acoustic wave device of the present invention, in order to improve the intensity of boundary acoustic wave device, or prevent to enter etchant gas, can form protective layer in the laminate outside that constitutes by dielectric material, electrode and piezoelectric substance along laminating direction.Under certain conditions, can be in the enclosure with boundary acoustic wave device encapsulation of the present invention.
Above-mentioned protective layer can be formed by following material: for example the insulating material of titanium oxide, aluminium nitride or aluminium oxide forms; The metal film of Au, Al or W for example; Or the resin of polyurethane, epoxy resin or silicones for example.
In addition, in the present invention, above-mentioned piezoelectric substance can be formed in the piezoelectric film on the dielectric material.
In the present invention, in the time of around the energy with acoustic boundary wave is limited to as the electrode on border, need not to be unlimited, enough get final product greatly with the model different dielectric material that is used as the calculating basis and the thickness of piezoelectric substance.That is, for example, thickness can be 1 λ or bigger.
[example 8]
In addition; for example; when the outside in the acoustic boundary wave structure that is made of dielectric material, electrode and piezoelectric substance forms above-mentioned protective layer; so that when forming the structure that constitutes by protective layer, dielectric material, electrode, piezoelectric substance and protective layer; and when infiltrating the protective layer part slightly, can reduce the thickness of dielectric material and piezoelectric substance when also allowing to vibrate.For example, has epoxy resin/SiO by utilization
2/ Au-IDT/LiNbO
3In the SH type acoustic boundary wave resonator of the structure ladder-type filter 24 that form, that have the circuit structure shown in Figure 76, work as SiO
2Thickness when being 1 λ, the insertion of propagation characteristic loss is 1.5dB, and when thickness was 0.71 λ, loss was 1.8dB; Therefore, can confirm, although along with SiO
2The reducing of thickness, loss worsens, but loss is still in practice in the acceptable scope.In boundary acoustic wave device of the present invention owing to utilize heavy metal to form IDT, as mentioned above, with the concentration of energy of SH acoustic boundary wave and be distributed in around the Au-IDT as the boundary layer, from having the SiO of less acoustic damping
2The quantity of energy that penetrates into the epoxy resin with big acoustic damping is less.Therefore, even when reducing SiO
2Thickness the time, the deterioration of loss is also less.
In this case, the thickness of epoxy resin is 3 λ, and the thickness of Au is 0.054 λ, and the thickness of LN is 146 λ, and LiNbO
3Eulerian angles be (0 °, 105 °, 0 °) in addition, be used for the SH type acoustic boundary wave resonator of ladder-type filter, IDT has opening length 30 λ and has 50 pairs of bands of the single ribbon structure of plain edition, and reflector has 50 single slice result of plain edition, as the distance between the center of adjacent ribbons, distance between IDT and the reflector is 0.5 λ, and the cycle of IDT be 2.4 μ m, equal the cycle of reflector.
In addition, in the present invention, electrode can comprise the plate electrode film that forms waveguide or bus (bus bar), the IDT of excitation acoustic boundary wave or the reflector of comb-type electrode and reflecting boundary sound wave.
In addition, in this manual, Eulerian angles as the direction of propagation of the cutting surface of expression substrate and acoustic boundary wave, used and (edited by Acoustic Wave Device Technology 150th Committee of the JapanSociety for the Promotion of Science at " Acoustic Wave Device Technology Handbook ", November 30 calendar year 2001 the first impression/front page, 549 pages) in disclosed right hand Eulerian angles system.That is, crystallographic axis X, Y and Z with respect to LN rotate φ by X-axis in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the Z axle, obtain the Xa axle.Next, rotate θ in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the Xa axle, obtain Z ' axle by the Z axle.To comprise the Xa axle and have Z ' axle is made as substrate as the plane of normal cutting planes.Subsequently, will be made as the direction of propagation of acoustic boundary wave by the direction that the Xa axle rotates the X ' axle that ψ obtains in the counterclockwise direction with respect to Z '.
In addition, for the LiNbO of the initial value that is expressed as Eulerian angles
3Crystallographic axis X, Y and Z, the Z axle is set, make it be parallel to the c axle, X-axis is set, make it be parallel to three any one that are equal in a axle, and Y-axis be set along three different directions, make it be parallel to the normal on the plane that comprises X-axis and Z axle.
Except LiNbO of the present invention
3Eulerian angles (φ, θ ψ) in addition, can also use the Eulerian angles that are equal to from the angle of crystallization.For example, according to technical literature 7 (Journal of the AcousticalSociety of Japan, Vol.36, No.3,1980, the 140 to 145 pages), because LiNbO
3Be the trigonal crystal of a kind of 3m of belonging to some family, following formula (A) is set up.
F(φ,θ,ψ)=F(60°-φ,-9,ψ)
=F(60°+φ,-θ,180°-ψ)
=F(φ,180°+θ,180°-ψ)
=F (φ, θ, 180 °+ψ) ... formula (A)
In above-mentioned formula, F is any acoustic boundary wave characteristic, for example electromechanical coefficient k
2, propagation loss, TCF, PFA or intrinsic unidirectional characteristic.For PFA and intrinsic unidirectional characteristic, for example, when the backpropagation direction, although changed the positive sign or the negative sign of direction indication, the absolute value of characteristic does not change, and therefore, can be interpreted as it and be equal in fact each other.In addition, although technical literature 7 relates to surface acoustic wave, even when acoustic boundary wave is discussed, as disclosed in the technical literature 7, symmetry of crystals is also set up according to identical mode.For example, Eulerian angles (30 °, θ, the propagation characteristic of the acoustic boundary wave of ψ) locating be equal to Eulerian angles (90 °, 180 °-θ, 180 °-ψ) locate.In addition, the propagation characteristic of the acoustic boundary wave of locating in Eulerian angles (30 °, 90 °, 45 °) is equal to the propagation characteristic at the Eulerian angles place shown in the following table 12.
In addition, the material constant that is used to the electrode that calculates in the present invention is the numerical value of polycrystalline material; Yet, even in the crystalline solid of for example epitaxial film, owing to compare with film self, the grain arrangement that depends on substrate mainly influences the acoustic boundary wave characteristic, under the situation that is equal to Eulerian angles, can access the propagation characteristic that is equal to that can not cause any practical problem by formula (A) expression.
