摘要: Methods of forming a shear-mode chemical/physical sensor for liquid environment sensing on V-shaped grooves of a [100] crystal orientation Si layer and the resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include forming a set of V-shaped grooves in a [100] Si layer over a substrate; forming an acoustic resonator over and along the V-shaped grooves, the acoustic resonator including a first metal layer, a thin-film piezoelectric layer, and a second metal layer in an IDT pattern or a sheet; and forming at least one functional layer along a slope of the acoustic resonator.

摘要: A method of forming a monolithic integrated PMUT and CMOS with a coplanar elastic, sealing, and passivation layer in a single step without bonding and the resulting device are provided. Embodiments include providing a CMOS wafer with a metal layer; forming a dielectric over the CMOS; forming a sacrificial structure in a portion of the dielectric; forming a bottom electrode; forming a piezoelectric layer over the CMOS; forming a top electrode over portions of the bottom electrode and piezoelectric layer; forming a via through the top electrode down to the bottom electrode and a second via down to the metal layer through the top electrode; forming a second metal layer over and along sidewalls of the first and second via; removing the sacrificial structure, an open cavity formed; and forming a dielectric layer over a portion of the CMOS, the open cavity sealed and an elastic layer and passivation formed.

摘要: A BAW resonator/filter with a monolithic TFE package that defines an acoustic BC and suppresses resonances from the low-Q piezoelectric area of the resonator and resulting devices are provided. Embodiments include a BAW resonator over a dielectric layer, the BAW resonator including a first metal layer, a thin-film piezoelectric layer, and a second metal layer; a first cavity in the dielectric layer under the first metal layer and a second cavity over the first cavity on the second metal layer; and a pair of TFE anchors on the second metal layer, each TFE anchor adjacent to and on an opposite side of the second cavity and extending beyond the first metal layer.

摘要: According to various embodiments, a PMUT device may include a wafer, an active layer including a piezoelectric stack, an intermediate layer having a cavity therein where the intermediate layer is disposed between the wafer and the active layer such that the cavity is adjoining the piezoelectric stack. A via may be formed through the active layer and the intermediate layer to the wafer. A metallic layer may be disposed over the active layer and over surfaces of the via. The intermediate layer may include an interposing material surrounding the cavity, and may further include a sacrificial material surrounding the via. The sacrificial material may be different from the interposing material. The metallic layer may include a first member at least substantially overlapping the piezoelectric stack, a second member extending from the first member to the cavity, and a third member extending into the active layer to contact an electrode therein.
