    摘要: A process comprising, in a vacuum, depositing a bottom electrode layer and a piezoelectric layer over a cavity in a substrate, the cavity being filled with a sacrificial material, patterning and etching the piezoelectric layer and the bottom electrode layer to expose one or more edges of the bottom electrode layer and the piezoelectric layer, treating some or all of the one or more edges to prevent electrical contact between the bottom electrode layer and a top electrode layer, and depositing and etching the top electrode layer. An apparatus comprising a resonator attached to a substrate and suspended over a cavity in the substrate, the resonator comprising a bottom electrode layer and a piezoelectric layer on the bottom electrode layer, both the bottom electrode layer and the piezoelectric layer having been deposited in a vacuum, and a top electrode layer on the piezoelectric layer, wherein one or more edges of the bottom electrode layer and the piezoelectric layer include features that prevent electrical contact between the bottom electrode layer and the top electrode layer.

    摘要: An apparatus and method to provide a tapered electrode in an acoustic resonator. A piezoelectric (PZ) layer, such as Aluminum Nitride (AlN), is formed over a bottom electrode having a tapered end. A top electrode is positioned on the PZ layer. The tapered end of the bottom electrode creates a mild topography to the under layer of the PZ material to prevent cracking in the PZ layer. The tapered end also decreases acoustic losses in the acoustic resonator because the PZ grains are highly oriented. In one embodiment, the acoustic resonator is a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR).

    摘要: An apparatus and method to provide a tapered electrode in an acoustic resonator. A piezoelectric (PZ) layer, such as Aluminum Nitride (AIN), is formed over a bottom electrode having a tapered end. A top electrode is positioned on the PZ layer. The tapered end of the bottom electrode creates a mild topography to the under layer of the PZ material to prevent cracking in the PZ layer. The tapered end also decreases acoustic losses in the acoustic resonator because the PZ grains are highly oriented.

    摘要: A film bulk acoustic resonator filter may be formed with a plurality of interconnected series and shunt film bulk acoustic resonators formed on the same membrane. Each of the film bulk acoustic resonators may be formed from a common lower conductive layer which is defined to form the bottom electrode of each film bulk acoustic resonator. A common top conductive layer may be defined to form each top electrode of each film bulk acoustic resonator. A common piezoelectric film layer, that may or may not be patterned, forms a continuous or discontinuous film.
