摘要:
A filter includes piezoelectric thin-film resonators having a substrate, a lower electrode supported by the substrate, a piezoelectric film provided on the lower electrode, and an upper electrode provided on the piezoelectric film. At least one of the piezoelectric thin-film resonators has a portion in which the upper electrode overlaps the lower electrode across the piezoelectric film. The above portion has a shape different from shapes of corresponding portions of other piezoelectric thin-film resonators, so that a spurious component in the above at least one of the piezoelectric thin-film resonators occur at a frequency different from frequencies of spurious components that occur in the other piezoelectric thin-film resonators.

摘要:
A piezoelectric thin film resonator of the present has a substrate 1, an intermediate layer 7 disposed on the substrate 1 and is formed of an insulator, a lower electrode 3 disposed on the intermediate layer 7, a piezoelectric film 4 disposed on the lower electrode 3, and an upper electrode 5 disposed on a position facing the lower electrode 3 with the piezoelectric film 4 interposed therebetween, in which, in a resonant region 8 where the lower electrode 3 and the upper electrode 5 face each other, a space 6 is formed in the substrate 1 and the intermediate layer 7 or between the lower electrode 3 and the intermediate layer 7 and the region of the space 6 is included in the resonant region 8. With the structure, the dissipation of the vibrational energy to the substrate from the resonance portion can be suppressed, thereby improving the quality factor.
