    摘要: Disclosed herein is an Overmoded Bulk Acoustic Resonator (OBAR) and a solidly-mounted OBAR (SBAR), which operate in a partially transduced 2nd overtone split between piezoelectric and electrode layers using dual all metal Bragg mirrors. The devices may be deployed in a series configuration. The devices have arbitrarily thick electrodes to minimize ohmic loss and bandwidths high enough to meet filtering requirements of 5G networks. The devices provide sharp filtering which can be performed directly at each antenna element in a form factor much smaller than the half-wavelength separation between adjacent antenna elements required when using electromagnetic resonators.

    摘要: Various embodiments may relate to a resonator. The resonator may include a support including a substrate portion, and a membrane portion extending from the substrate portion over a cavity. The resonator may also include a piezoelectric layer on the membrane portion. The resonator may further include an electrode on the piezoelectric layer. The substrate portion may include dopants of a first conductivity type. The membrane portion may include dopants of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type. A ratio of a thickness of the membrane portion to a combined thickness of the electrode and the piezoelectric layer may be above 3:1 for temperature compensation.

    摘要: An acoustic wave device includes a support, a piezoelectric layer with an anisotropic coefficient of linear expansion, and including first and second main surfaces, at least one through-hole, a first electrode in or on the first main surface, and a second electrode in or on the second main surface and opposed to the first electrode. A cavity is provided in the support. At least a portion of the first and second electrodes overlaps the cavity in plan view. In plan view, the at least one through-hole is line symmetric about an axis of symmetry that passes a center of the cavity in a region where the first and second electrodes overlap each other and that extends in a direction in which the coefficient of linear expansion of the piezoelectric layer is greatest.

    摘要: An acoustic transformer in a transmitter chain is disclosed. In one aspect, a differential power amplifier may produce a differential signal that is provided to a first transformer. A differential output of this first transformer is provided to an acoustic transformer that provides a single ended output signal for use by an acoustic filter. By making the second transformer an acoustic transformer, the second transformer may be integrated into the same circuitry that forms the acoustic filter, thereby simplifying the die. Further, the acoustic transformer may be tuned if ferroelectric resonators are used, which provides strong out-of-band signal cancelation.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator that includes a bottom electrode, a piezoelectric layer over the bottom electrode, and a top electrode structure with a top electrode and the dual-step BO ring structure. Herein, the dual-step BO structure is formed over the piezoelectric layer and about a periphery of the top electrode structure, such that a central portion of the piezoelectric layer is not covered by the dual-step BO structure. The dual-step BO structure is formed of an oxide material and includes an inner BO ring with a first height and an outer BO ring with a second height that is larger than the first height, such that the dual-step BO structure decreases in height toward the central portion of the piezoelectric layer. The top electrode is formed over the central portion of the piezoelectric layer and extends over the dual-step BO structure.

    摘要: An acoustic wave device includes a first layer including a support substrate, a second layer on the first layer and including a piezoelectric film, and a first excitation electrode on the second layer. A cavity is between the first and second layers, and the first excitation electrode at least partially overlaps the cavity in a stacking direction of the first and second layers. A surface roughness of a major surface of the first layer facing the cavity is different from a surface roughness of a major surface of the second layer facing the cavity.
