    摘要: A filter formed of acoustic resonators, where each resonator has its own cavity and a bottom electrode that spans the entirety of the cavity, so that the bottom electrode has an unsupported interior region surrounded by supported peripheral regions. In the preferred embodiment, the cavity is formed by etching a depression into the substrate, filling the depression with a sacrificial material, depositing the piezoelectric and electrode layers that define an FBAR or SBAR, and then removing the sacrificial material from the depression. Also in the preferred embodiment, the sacrificial material is removed via release holes that are limited to the periphery of the depression. Preferably, the bottom electrode is the only electrode that spans the cavity, thereby limiting the formation of parasitic FBARs or SBARs. In one embodiment, the bottom electrode includes a serpentine edge that leaves a portion of one side of the cavity free of overlap by the bottom electrode, so that a top electrode may overlap this portion. Thus, the top and bottom electrodes can overlap the same side without sandwiching the piezoelectric layer outside of the unsupported interior region.

    摘要: A method of packaging electronics comprises providing a first wafer and providing a second wafer. The method also comprises depositing a polymer material over a surface of the first wafer; and selectively removing a portion of the polymer from the first wafer to create a void in the polymer. The method also comprises placing the first wafer over the second wafer and in contact with the polymer; and curing the polymer to bond the first wafer to the second wafer. A bonded wafer structure is also described.

    摘要: An apparatus including vertically separated acoustic resonators are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first acoustic resonator on a substrate and a second acoustic resonator vertically separated above the first acoustic resonator. Because the resonators are vertically separated above another, total area required to implement the resonators is reduced thereby savings in die size and cost are realized. The vertically separated resonators are supported by standoffs that are fabricated on the substrate, or on a resonator.

    摘要: One embodiment of the film acoustically-coupled transformer (FACT) includes a decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator (DSBAR) having a lower film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) an upper FBAR stacked on the lower FBAR, and, between the FBARs, an acoustic decoupler comprising a layer of acoustic decoupling material. Each FBAR has opposed planar electrodes with a piezoelectric element between them. The FACT additionally has first terminals electrically connected to the electrodes of one FBAR and second terminals electrically connected to the electrodes of the other FBAR. Another embodiment has decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonators (DSBARs), each as described above, a first electrical circuit interconnecting the lower FBARs, and a second electrical circuit interconnecting the upper FBARs. The FACT provides impedance transformation, can linking single-ended circuitry with balanced circuitry or vice versa and electrically isolates primary and secondary. Some embodiments are additionally electrically balanced.
