The intermediate layer 3 is provided to confine the energy of elastic waves in the piezoelectric layer 6 . The high acoustic velocity film 4 described above is made of a high acoustic velocity material. A high acoustic velocity material is a material in which the acoustic velocity of a propagating bulk wave is higher than the acoustic velocity of an elastic wave propagating through the piezoelectric layer 6 .

中間層3では、圧電体層6の第2の主面6bに、低音速膜5が積層されている。また、低音速膜5の圧電体層6とは反対側の面に高音速膜4が積層されている。従って、圧電体層6側に弾性波のエネルギーを効果的に閉じ込めることができる。
In the intermediate layer 3 , the low sound velocity film 5 is laminated on the second main surface 6 b of the piezoelectric layer 6 . A high acoustic velocity film 4 is laminated on the surface of the low acoustic velocity film 5 opposite to the piezoelectric layer 6 . Therefore, the energy of the elastic wave can be effectively confined on the piezoelectric layer 6 side.
弾性波装置1では、窒化ケイ素膜7が圧電体層6とIDT電極8との間に設けられている。そして、窒化ケイ素膜7の屈折率が2.15以上であり、かつ該窒化ケイ素膜7の膜厚が10nm以上、75nm以下の範囲にある。そのため、弾性波装置の特性の劣化が生じ難い。すなわち、弾性波共振子では、比帯域などの共振特性の劣化が生じ難い。これを、より具体的に説明する。
In the elastic wave device 1 , the silicon nitride film 7 is provided between the piezoelectric layer 6 and the IDT electrode 8 . The refractive index of the silicon nitride film 7 is 2.15 or more, and the film thickness of the silicon nitride film 7 is in the range of 10 nm or more and 75 nm or less. Therefore, deterioration of the characteristics of the acoustic wave device is less likely to occur. That is, in the elastic wave resonator, deterioration of resonance characteristics such as a fractional bandwidth is less likely to occur. This will be explained more specifically.
弾性波装置1の製造に際しては、圧電体層6上に、スパッタリングによりSiNxである窒化ケイ素膜7を成膜した。この場合、成膜に際してのSiN2ガス流量などを調整することにより、屈折率を調整した。
In manufacturing the elastic wave device 1, a silicon nitride film 7 of SiNx was formed on the piezoelectric layer 6 by sputtering. In this case, the refractive index was adjusted by adjusting the SiN 2 gas flow rate during film formation.
窒化ケイ素膜7の膜厚は15nmとした。IDT電極8の金属層8aは、Cu-0.02Agの銅合金を用いた。Cu-0.02Agは、2重量%の割合でAgを含むCu合金であることを意味する。また、密着層8bは、10nmの厚みのTi膜とした。
The film thickness of the silicon nitride film 7 was set to 15 nm. A copper alloy of Cu-0.02Ag was used for the metal layer 8a of the IDT electrode 8 . Cu-0.02Ag means a Cu alloy containing Ag in a proportion of 2% by weight. The adhesion layer 8b was a Ti film with a thickness of 10 nm.
図4は、窒化ケイ素膜7の膜厚(nm)と、弾性波装置1の共振子としての比帯域との関係を示す図である。一般に帯域通過型フィルタなどに弾性波共振子を用いる場合、比帯域は2%以上であることが求められる。従って、図4から明らかなように、窒化ケイ素膜7の膜厚が75nm以下であれば、十分大きな比帯域を実現することができる。
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the film thickness (nm) of the silicon nitride film 7 and the fractional bandwidth of the acoustic wave device 1 as a resonator. In general, when an acoustic wave resonator is used in a band-pass filter or the like, the specific bandwidth is required to be 2% or more. Therefore, as is clear from FIG. 4, a sufficiently large fractional bandwidth can be realized if the film thickness of the silicon nitride film 7 is 75 nm or less.
他方、窒化ケイ素膜7の厚みが薄すぎると、Cuの圧電体層6側への拡散防止効果が低下する。従って、窒化ケイ素膜7の膜厚は、拡散防止効果を十分に得るには、10nm以上であることが求められる。上記のように、本実施形態では、窒化ケイ素膜7の膜厚が10nm以上、75nm以下であるため、弾性波装置1の特性劣化が生じ難いための、必要十分な厚みとなっている。
On the other hand, if the thickness of the silicon nitride film 7 is too thin, the effect of preventing Cu from diffusing toward the piezoelectric layer 6 decreases. Therefore, the film thickness of the silicon nitride film 7 is required to be 10 nm or more in order to obtain a sufficient anti-diffusion effect. As described above, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the silicon nitride film 7 is 10 nm or more and 75 nm or less.
図5は、窒化ケイ素膜7の屈折率と、耐湿試験における特性変動量との関係を示す図である。ここで、耐湿試験では、弾性波装置1を、93℃及び81%RHの環境下に1200時間維持した。この耐湿試験後の特性変動量(%)を求めた。なお、図1に示した弾性波装置1を複数用いた弾性波フィルタの通過帯域の中心周波数の変動量を、特性変動量(%)とした。
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the relationship between the refractive index of the silicon nitride film 7 and the amount of characteristic variation in a moisture resistance test. Here, in the moisture resistance test, the elastic wave device 1 was maintained in an environment of 93° C. and 81% RH for 1200 hours. The amount of characteristic variation (%) after this moisture resistance test was determined. The amount of variation in the center frequency of the passband of the elastic wave filter using a plurality of elastic wave devices 1 shown in FIG. 1 was defined as the amount of characteristic variation (%).
図5から明らかなように、屈折率が2.15以上であれば、耐湿試験後の特性変動量の絶対値が1.5(%)以下となる。従って、特性変化を抑制し得ることがわかる。よって、弾性波装置1では、窒化ケイ素膜7の屈折率は、2.15以上である。好ましくは、屈折率は、2.8以下である。屈折率が2.8を超えると、フィルタ特性が悪化することがある。
As is clear from FIG. 5, when the refractive index is 2.15 or more, the absolute value of the amount of characteristic variation after the humidity resistance test is 1.5 (%) or less. Therefore, it can be seen that the characteristic change can be suppressed. Therefore, in the elastic wave device 1, the refractive index of the silicon nitride film 7 is 2.15 or more. Preferably, the refractive index is 2.8 or less. If the refractive index exceeds 2.8, filter characteristics may deteriorate.
なお、上記屈折率の値の測定方法としては、以下の方法を用いた。
In addition, the following method was used as a method for measuring the above refractive index value.
光の入反射による偏光状態の変化(振幅反射率の比tan(Ψ)と、位相差Δ)から、光学定数(屈折率、消衰係数)及び膜厚を、モデル式とのフィッティングにより算出する方法。具体的には、エリプソメータを用いて、屈折率を求めた。
Optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficient) and film thickness are calculated by fitting with the model formula from the change in the polarization state due to the incidence and reflection of light (ratio of amplitude reflectance tan (Ψ) and phase difference Δ). Method. Specifically, the refractive index was determined using an ellipsometer.
なお、窒化ケイ素膜7では、SiNxにおいてSiがリッチになると、屈折率を高めることができる。そして、窒化ケイ素膜7を成膜する際のガス流量をコントロールすることにより、屈折率の値をコントロールすることができる。
In addition, in the silicon nitride film 7, the refractive index can be increased when the SiNx becomes rich in Si. By controlling the gas flow rate when forming the silicon nitride film 7, the value of the refractive index can be controlled.

In the elastic wave device 21, the support substrate 2A is laminated on the second main surface 6b of the piezoelectric layer 6 with the bonding layer 22 interposed therebetween. The support substrate 2A is made of Si. However, it may be made of other semiconductors or insulators. The support substrate 2A has a concave portion 2a open on the upper surface. This concave portion 2 a is positioned below the IDT electrode 8 . Therefore, the excitation region having the IDT electrodes 8 is positioned above the recess 2a.
圧電体層6の第2の主面6bと、接合層22の内側側面と、支持基板2Aの凹部2aとにより、振動を阻害しないためのキャビティ23が構成されている。なお、保護層は設けられていない。
The second main surface 6b of the piezoelectric layer 6, the inner side surface of the bonding layer 22, and the concave portion 2a of the support substrate 2A form a cavity 23 for preventing vibration. No protective layer is provided.
その他の構造は、弾性波装置21は、弾性波装置1と同様である。従って、弾性波装置21においても、特性の劣化が生じ難い。
