Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-140698 filed on Jul. 31, 2019. The entire contents of this application are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to an acoustic wave device that includes a piezoelectric substrate made of LiNbO3 or LiTaO3.
- To date, various acoustic wave devices have been proposed that use piezoelectric substrates made of LiNbO3, LiTaO3, and so forth. A piezoelectric wafer is transported by a transporting arm during the manufacture of these types of acoustic wave devices. The manufacturing process may stop if the piezoelectric wafer becomes charged and sticks to the transporting arm.
- In the acoustic wave device disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-102898, films made of a resistive material are provided on both main surfaces of a piezoelectric substrate in order to suppress charging of the piezoelectric substrate. It is described that it is desirable to use an organic material, an inorganic oxide such as SiO2, Al2O3 or MgO, or semi-conductive material such as Si as the resistive material. The films made of a resistive material are formed by sputtering.
- On the other hand, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2007-165949 discloses an acoustic wave device having a WLP structure. In this case, an Al film or the like is formed by vapor deposition or plating on the surface of a piezoelectric substrate that is on the opposite side from the surface of the piezoelectric substrate where an IDT electrode will be provided.

- The preferred embodiments described in the present specification are non-limiting illustrative examples and portions of the configurations illustrated in different preferred embodiments can be substituted for one another or combined with one another.
-
FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of an acoustic wave device according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. - An
acoustic wave device 1 preferably has a WLP structure. Theacoustic wave device 1 includes apiezoelectric substrate 2 preferably made of LiNbO3, for example. Thepiezoelectric substrate 2 may instead be made of LiTaO3, for example. Thepiezoelectric substrate 2 includes a firstmain surface 2 a and a secondmain surface 2 b that is on the opposite side from the firstmain surface 2 a. AnIDT electrode 3 andreflectors main surface 2 a. Theacoustic wave device 1 is preferably configured as a one-port surface acoustic wave resonator, for example. However, the structure of the functional electrodes including theIDT electrode 3 and thereflectors -
Wiring line electrodes main surface 2 a. Thewiring line electrodes IDT electrode 3 in a portion that is not illustrated. - A frame-
shaped support layer 9 is provided on the firstmain surface 2 a of thepiezoelectric substrate 2. Thesupport layer 9 defines a hollow portion X. Thesupport layer 9 surrounds the portion where theIDT electrode 3 is provided. Thesupport layer 9 is made of a suitable insulating material such as, for example, a composite resin. - A
cover 10 is fixed to thesupport layer 9 so as to close the frame-shaped opening of thesupport layer 9. Thecover 10 is preferably made of, for example, an insulating ceramic such as alumina or a composite resin. The region enclosed by thecover 10, thesupport layer 9, and thepiezoelectric substrate 2 defines the hollow portion X. TheIDT electrode 3 is located inside the hollow portion X. - A plurality of through holes penetrate through the
support layer 9 and thecover 10. Underbump metal layers bump metal layer 11 is bonded to thewiring line electrode 6 and the other end of the underbump metal layer 11 is bonded to ametal bump 13. One end of the underbump metal layer 12 is bonded to thewiring line electrode 7 and the other end of the underbump metal layer 12 is bonded to ametal bump 14. The metal bumps 13 and 14 are located on the outside of thecover 10. - The
acoustic wave device 1 can be mounted on, for example a printed circuit board or the like using the metal bumps 13 and 14. The metal bumps 13 and 14 are made of a metal or an alloy such as solder or Au, for example. - The
IDT electrode 3, thereflectors wiring line electrodes bump metal layers IDT electrode 3, thereflectors - A Li2CO3 layer 8 is stacked on the second
main surface 2 b of thepiezoelectric substrate 2. InFIG. 1 , the Li2CO3 layer 8 covers the entire or substantially the entire secondmain surface 2 b. However, the Li2CO3 layer 8 may instead be provided on only a portion of the secondmain surface 2 b. In other words, the Li2CO3 layer 8 may be provided in a partial manner on a portion of the secondmain surface 2 b of thepiezoelectric substrate 2. In this case, the planar shape and pattern shape of the Li2CO3 layer 8 are not particularly limited. In other words, an arbitrary planar shape may be used such as, for example, a plurality of dot-shaped Li2CO3 layers 8. - The electrical resistance, i.e., the surface resistivity of Li2CO3 is about 105Ω to 107Ω, for example. On the other hand, the surface resistivity of LiNbO3 is greater than or equal to about 108Ω, for example. In other words, the electrical resistance of Li2CO3 is lower than that of LiNbO3.
- A transporting arm is used in a process of manufacturing or mounting an acoustic wave device. In this case, at the mother piezoelectric wafer stage prior to the mother piezoelectric wafer being divided into individual chips, the transporting arm is used to support the surface of the piezoelectric wafer on the opposite side from the surface on which the IDT electrode will be formed and transport the piezoelectric wafer. If the piezoelectric wafer is susceptible to becoming charged, there is a risk of the piezoelectric wafer becoming stuck to the transporting arm and not releasing from the transporting arm.
- In contrast, in the
acoustic wave device 1, the Li2CO3 layer 8 is provided on the secondmain surface 2 b of thepiezoelectric substrate 2 and, therefore, thepiezoelectric substrate 2 is not susceptible to becoming charged. Therefore, theacoustic wave device 1 whose piezoelectric substrate is at the wafer stage prior to dividing of the wafer can be smoothly transported by the transporting arm. In addition, the Li2CO3 layer 8 can be easily formed by irradiating one surface of the piezoelectric substrate at the wafer stage with a laser. Therefore, it is unlikely that a reduction in productivity will occur. -
FIG. 2 is a front sectional view of an acoustic wave device according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. - A
piezoelectric substrate 22 of anacoustic wave device 21 is preferably made of LiNbO3 or LiTaO3, for example. In theacoustic wave device 21,wiring line electrodes terminal electrodes connection electrodes wiring line electrodes main surface 22 a of thepiezoelectric substrate 22. Theterminal electrodes main surface 22 b of thepiezoelectric substrate 22 with a Li2CO3 layer 8 and insulatinglayers - First ends of the
connection electrodes wiring line electrodes connection electrodes terminal electrodes acoustic wave device 21 can be mounted on a printed circuit board or the like, for example, using theterminal electrodes connection electrodes piezoelectric substrate 22, which connect the firstmain surface 22 a and the secondmain surface 22 b to each other. - The boundaries between the
wiring line electrodes connection electrodes connection electrodes terminal electrodes FIG. 2 . However, the positions of these boundaries are not particularly restricted since these members are manufactured in an integrated manner using the same metal material. For example, the portions located on the firstmain surface 22 a may be regarded as thewiring electrodes layers terminal electrodes wiring line electrodes terminal electrodes connection electrodes - The
connection electrodes terminal electrodes wiring line electrodes - The insulating layers 27 and 28 are preferably made of an insulating ceramic or a composite resin such as silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride, for example.
- In the
acoustic wave device 21, acover 10 is provided to close the opening of asupport layer 9. Thus, a hollow portion X is provided. - The rest of the configuration of the
acoustic wave device 21 is the same or substantially the same as that of theacoustic wave device 1. Therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference symbols and description thereof is omitted. - In the present preferred embodiment, the Li2CO3 layer 8 is provided on the second
main surface 22 b. Therefore, in the case of theacoustic wave device 21, thepiezoelectric substrate 22 is not susceptible to becoming charged when transporting theacoustic wave device 21 or when transporting a piezoelectric substrate at the mother wafer stage using a transporting arm. Therefore, transportation using a transporting arm can be easily performed. As described above, the Li2CO3 layer 8 can be easily formed using laser irradiation. Therefore, it is unlikely that a reduction in productivity will occur. - Next, a specific description will be provided of an example of the process of forming the Li2CO3 layer 8 by laser irradiation while referring to
FIGS. 3 to 8 . -
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between laser light output and the post-laser-irradiation surface resistivity of the surface of a wafer irradiated with a laser when the surface of a piezoelectric wafer made of LiNbO3 is irradiated with laser light. A nanosecond pulse laser was used as the laser. The wavelength was about 355 nm, the pulse width was about 10 ns, the frequency was about 250 kHz, the beam diameter was about 25 μm, the scanning speed was about 500 nm/s, and the scanning pitch was about 20 μm. Under these conditions, the laser output was changed to various values and the corresponding values of the surface resistivity of the surface of the piezoelectric substrate were obtained. - As is clear from
FIG. 3 , the surface resistivity was high with a value greater than or equal to about 1.0×108Ω in a laser output range from 0 W, i.e., prior to the laser irradiation, to about 0.2 W. In contrast, the surface resistivity dropped when the laser output exceeded about 0.3 W, and in particular, the surface resistivity had a value less than or equal to about 1.0×107Ω when the laser output exceeded about 0.4 W. This is attributed to the formation of a low-resistance Li2CO3 layer on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate due to the laser irradiation. -
FIG. 4 illustrates the relationship between the laser light output and the post-laser-irradiation surface resistivity of the surface of a piezoelectric wafer irradiated with a laser when a laser is irradiated in the same or substantially the same manner as described above using a piezoelectric wafer made of LiTaO3. - In this case, the laser irradiation conditions were as follows. A nanosecond pulse laser was used. The wavelength was about 532 nm, the pulse width was about 25 ns, the frequency was about 500 kHz, the beam diameter was about 30 μm, the scanning speed was about 100 nm/s, and the scanning pitch was about 20 μm. Under these conditions, the laser output was changed to various values and the entirety or substantially the entirety of one surface of a piezoelectric wafer was processed.
- As is clear from
FIG. 4 , the surface resistivity was high with a value greater than or equal to about 1.0×1010Ω in a laser output range from 0 W, i.e., prior to the laser irradiation, to about 0.3 W. In contrast, it is clear that the surface resistivity rapidly dropped to less than or equal to about 1.0×107Ω when the laser output exceeded about 0.4 W. This is attributed to the formation of a low-resistance Li2CO3 layer on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate due to the laser irradiation. - Next, specific examples 1 and 2 of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.
- A piezoelectric wafer made of LiNbO3 was prepared in order to manufacture the
acoustic wave device 1 according to the first preferred embodiment. The surface of the piezoelectric wafer on the opposite side from the surface where the IDT electrode was to be formed was subjected to laser irradiation. A nanosecond pulse laser was used and the irradiation conditions were as follows. - The wavelength was about 355 nm, the pulse width was about 10 ns, the frequency was about 250 kHz, the average output was about 0.4 W, the beam diameter was about 25 μm, the scanning speed was about 500 nm/s, and the scanning pitch was about 20 μm. The entirety or substantially the entirety of one surface of the piezoelectric wafer was processed under these conditions. The
acoustic wave device 1 was manufactured using the piezoelectric wafer obtained as described above. The incidence of transportation failures in this manufacturing process, i.e., the incidence of failures in which the equipment stopped due to the piezoelectric wafer becoming charged and sticking to the transporting arm, was close to 0%. For comparison, the incidence of such transportation failures in a comparative example 1, in which a piezoelectric wafer that had not been subjected to laser processing was used, was about 3%. -
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the XPS spectra of C1s of the LiNbO3 substrates of the acoustic wave devices of example 1 and comparative example 1. The solid line represents the results of example 1 and the broken line represents the results of comparative example 1. The results of example 1 are results for a surface that has been subjected to the laser processing described above. It is clear fromFIG. 5 that the binding energy intensity is high at about 289.7 eV, which indicates the binding energy of O═C—O, in example 1, whereas the intensity at this binding energy value is low in comparative example 1. - On the other hand,
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the XPS spectra of Li1s of the LiNbO3 substrates of the acoustic wave devices of example 1 and comparative example 1. InFIG. 6 as well, the solid line represents the results of example 1 and the broken line represents the results of comparative example 1. - It can be seen that the intensity at about 55.4 eV resulting from Li2CO3 is high with a value of about 0.60 a.u. in example 1, whereas the intensity at this binding energy value is low in comparative example 1.
- Therefore, it is clear from
FIGS. 5 and 6 that a Li2CO3 layer is formed on one surface of the piezoelectric wafer by laser irradiation in example 1. - LiTaO3 was prepared for the piezoelectric wafer instead of LiNbO3 and the piezoelectric wafer was irradiated with a laser. The laser irradiation conditions were as follows.
- The wavelength was about 532 nm, the pulse width was about 25 ns, the frequency was about 500 kHz, the average output was about 0.5 W, the beam diameter was about 30 μm, the scanning speed was about 100 nm/s, and the scanning pitch was about 20 μm. The entire or substantially the entire surface of the piezoelectric wafer was irradiated with laser light under these conditions.
- The
acoustic wave device 1 of Example 2 was obtained with the WLP structure manufacturing process in the same or substantially the same way as in example 1 using a piezoelectric wafer obtained as described above. Furthermore, an acoustic wave device of a comparative example 2 was prepared in the same or substantially the same way as in example 2 except that a piezoelectric wafer was used that had not been subjected to laser processing. - In example 2, the incidence of failures in which the equipment stopped due to the piezoelectric wafer becoming charged and sticking to the transporting arm was 0%. In contrast, in comparative example 2, the incidence of transportation failures was about 3%.
- As described above, it was also possible to reliably reduce or prevent transportation failures by providing a Li2CO3 layer in the
acoustic wave device 1 in which LiTaO3 is used. -
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating XPS spectra of C1s of second main surfaces of the piezoelectric substrates made of LiTaO3 in the acoustic wave devices of example 2 and comparative example 2.FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating XPS spectra of Li1s of the second main surfaces of the piezoelectric substrates made of LiTaO3 in the acoustic wave devices of example 2 and comparative example 2. InFIGS. 7 and 8 , the solid line represents the results of example 2 and the broken line represents the results of comparative example 2. The XPS spectra of the laser irradiated surface in example 2 are illustrated. - It is clear from
FIG. 7 that the intensity at about 289.7 eV, which is the value of the binding energy of the O═C—O bond, is much higher in example 2 than in comparative example 2. In addition, it is clear fromFIG. 8 that the intensity at a binding energy value of about 55.4 eV, which arises from Li2CO3, is also higher in example 2 than in comparative example 2. - Therefore, it is also clear that a Li2CO3 layer is formed by the above-described laser irradiation in example 2.
- In examples 1 and 2 described above, a nanosecond pulse laser was used, but the laser device used to radiate the laser light is not particularly limited. For example, a Kr—F excimer laser or a femtosecond laser may be used. In addition, the irradiation conditions only need to be selected in accordance with the laser device, the area and thickness of the Li2CO3 layer to be formed, and so on and are not particularly limited.
- While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it is to be understood that variations and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention, therefore, is to be determined solely by the following claims.
