Description

Lamb wave resonator and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency filters, in particular to a lamb wave resonator and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Radio frequency filters based on the piezoelectric effect play an important role in the communication field, and are increasingly receiving extensive attention and application. Wherein the thin film bulk acoustic resonator has gradually become an integral part of the rf front-end system due to its excellent performance. The principle of the film bulk acoustic resonator is that electric energy is converted into acoustic energy by utilizing the piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials, the acoustic waves are reflected back and forth in the piezoelectric materials to form interference addition, and finally the impedance characteristics of the resonator are changed by the inverse piezoelectric effect. The frequency of the thin film bulk acoustic resonator is determined by the thickness of the piezoelectric material, so that only resonators with the same frequency can be prepared on a single substrate, and the thin film bulk acoustic resonators with multiple frequencies cannot be integrated.
The lamb wave resonator is a novel piezoelectric type radio frequency resonator, the frequency of the lamb wave resonator is determined by the spacing of the interdigital electrodes, and therefore the resonant frequency can be adjusted by adjusting the spacing of the interdigital electrodes, so that the lamb wave resonator is very beneficial to monolithically integrating filters with a plurality of resonant frequencies. However, in order to ensure a high quality factor, the lamb wave resonator needs to be isolated from the substrate by the piezoelectric material, and thus the mechanical stability of the lamb wave resonator is poor. And the heat generated by the resonator cannot be effectively diffused, so that the power capacity of the resonator is limited. With the opening of the 5G era, the frequency band of the radio frequency front end is more complex, and higher requirements are put on the radio frequency front end filter, so that the lamb wave resonator is required to have lower loss and higher quality factor. Therefore, how to improve the quality factor and power capacity of a lamb wave resonator and reduce the acoustic wave transmission loss are key problems facing the lamb wave resonator.

The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
in the lamb wave resonator provided by the invention, the reflecting metal layer and the arc-shaped edge of the piezoelectric layer cooperate to effectively limit sound waves in the piezoelectric layer instead of leaking to surrounding substrates, so that the transmission loss of the sound waves is reduced; the piezoelectric layer of the lamb wave resonator is partially etched, so that the temperature of the resonator is reduced, the power capacity and the quality factor of the resonator are improved, and the insertion loss of a device is reduced.
