Abstract:
A radio-frequency module includes a module substrate, an inductor, and an acoustic wave filter. The inductor overlaps at least a portion of the acoustic wave filter when seen in a plan view from the normal direction of the module substrate. The inductor includes first and second coils connected in series. Each of the first and second coils is a spiral or helical coil that is wound with more than one turn. At least a portion of the first coil overlaps the second coil when seen in a plan view from the normal direction of the module substrate. A direction of a magnetic field generated by the first coil is opposite to a direction of a magnetic field generated by the second coil.

An elastic wave filter device includes a transmission filter chip, a reception filter chip, and a mounting terminal. The transmission filter chip includes a piezoelectric substrate and an IDT electrode provided on a principal surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The reception filter chip includes a piezoelectric substrate and an IDT electrode provided on a principal surface of the piezoelectric substrate. The transmission filter chip and the reception filter chip are laminated to provide sealed spaces above the IDT electrodes. The mounting terminal is disposed on a side of the reception filter chip opposite to the transmission filter chip side. The elastic wave filter device is mounted such that the reception filter chip faces a mounting surface.

An acoustic wave device includes an acoustic wave element substrate, filter electrodes on a first surface of the acoustic wave element substrate, a first insulator layer covering a second surface of the acoustic wave element substrate, and a second insulator layer laminated on the first insulator layer and sandwiching the first insulator layer between the second insulator layer and the acoustic wave element substrate. The products of propagation speeds of an acoustic wave in those layers and densities of those layers satisfy a predetermined relationship.
Abstract:
A high-frequency module includes a semiconductor element, a first insulating layer, an acoustic wave element, a second insulating layer, a first intermediate layer, and a second intermediate layer. The first intermediate layer is interposed between the acoustic wave element and the semiconductor element, and has a thermal conductivity lower than the first and second insulating layers. The second intermediate layer is interposed between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, and has a thermal conductivity lower than the first and second insulating layers. A step is provided between a first principal surface of the first insulating layer and one principal surface of the semiconductor element. The distance between first and second principal surfaces of the first insulating layer is greater than the distance between the second principal surface of the first insulating layer and the one principal surface of the semiconductor element.

Abstract:
An elastic wave device includes elastic wave elements, each including a piezoelectric layer directly or indirectly supported by a supporting substrate and an electrode disposed in contact with the piezoelectric layer, and a highly heat-conductive member stacked on a surface of the supporting substrate, opposite to the surface supporting the piezoelectric layer, in which the thermal conductivity of the supporting substrate is higher than the thermal conductivity of the piezoelectric layer, the coefficient of linear expansion of the supporting substrate is lower than the coefficient of linear expansion of the piezoelectric layer, the highly heat-conductive member has a larger area than the surface of the supporting substrate supporting the piezoelectric layer, and the thermal conductivity of the highly heat-conductive member is higher than that of the piezoelectric layer.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric device, a silicon oxide film is deposited by sputtering on a surface of a single-crystal piezoelectric substrate closer to an ion-implanted region, and a silicon nitride film is deposited by sputtering on a surface of the dielectric film opposite to a side thereof closer to the single-crystal piezoelectric substrate. The silicon oxide film has a composition that is deficient in oxygen relative to the stoichiometric composition. Accordingly, little oxygen is supplied from the silicon oxide film to the piezoelectric thin film during heat treatment of a piezoelectric device. This prevents oxidation of the piezoelectric thin film and therefore formation of an oxide layer with high resistivity in the piezoelectric thin film. As a result, a pyroelectric charge generated in the piezoelectric thin film can flow to the silicon oxide film.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric device, a compressive stress film is formed on a back surface of a piezoelectric single crystal substrate opposite to a surface on an ion-implanted side. The compressive stress film compresses the surface on the ion-implanted side of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate. The compressive stress produced by the compressive stress film is applied to half of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate on the ion-implanted side with respect to the center line of the thickness of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate to prevent the piezoelectric single crystal substrate from warping. A supporting substrate is then bonded to the surface of a bonding film on the flat piezoelectric single crystal substrate. The joined body of the piezoelectric single crystal substrate and the supporting substrate is then heated to initiate isolation at the ion-implanted portion as the isolation plane.
