Description

Method for preparing monocrystal nitride film on metal and bulk acoustic wave resonator
Technical Field
The invention relates to the research field of radio frequency MEMS devices, in particular to a single crystal acoustic wave device.
Background
The rapid development of the fourth generation mobile communication technology 4G makes the bulk acoustic wave filter a hot topic of research. Compared with the traditional ceramic filter, the bulk acoustic wave filter has the advantages of small volume, low insertion loss, strong out-of-band rejection capability, good power characteristics and the like, and has attracted high attention in academia and industry. With the coming of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G), higher requirements are put on the performance of the filter, including lower insertion loss, higher out-of-band rejection capability and larger bandwidth, and thus the development of a bulk acoustic wave resonator with higher performance is required. The piezoelectric materials used by the bulk acoustic wave filter in mass production at present are polycrystalline nitride films prepared by adopting a low-temperature magnetron sputtering technology, and the films have poor quality and high defect density. The reference (James b. shell, Jeffrey b. shell, Pinal Patel, Michael d. hodge, Rama Veturyand James r. shell, Single Crystal Aluminum Film Bulk acoustics resonators, RWS, pp.16-19, 2016) calculated the effect of the mass of the piezoelectric Film on the performance of the Bulk acoustic wave resonator and filter, and the calculations showed that the device figure of merit (product of effective electromechanical constant and quality factor) of the Single Crystal Nitride Bulk acoustic wave resonator was up to 40% higher than that of the conventional polycrystalline Nitride Bulk acoustic wave resonator. A large increase in resonator performance would greatly improve the performance of the filter.
The preparation process of the single crystal nitride bulk acoustic wave resonator is difficult, and the device performance reported at present is far less than expected. The main technical difficulty is that it is difficult to prepare high-quality single-crystal piezoelectric films on the bottom metal electrode based on the Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) technology. According to document 2(y.aota, s.tanifuji, h.oguma, s.kameda, h.nakase, t.takagi and k.tsubourhi, FBAR Characteristics with AlN Film Using MOCVD Method and Ru/Ta Electrode, IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium, pp.1425-1428, 2007) and document 3(Shoichi Tanifuji, Yuji Aota, Suguru Kameda, Tadashi Takagi and kazuoobbuchi, discovery of Millimeter Wave ar fbwith Very Thin Film Using Method, IEEE International ultrasounds Symposium nitride growing on MOCVD Film, high temperature metal growing with MOCVD reacting with high temperature about 1000 ℃ of MOCVD metal, high temperature growing of metal under MOCVD reaction; second, high temperature H in MOCVD growth2Annealing causes the surface of the metal to be rough, and it is difficult to produce a high-quality nitride single crystal thin film. Aiming at the problems, the method firstly grows an AlN nucleating layer on a metal electrode by a low-temperature magnetron sputtering technology and then grows a high-quality single crystal nitride film by an MOCVD technology. Wherein, because the existing bulk acoustic wave devices are mostly prepared by adopting the low-temperature magnetron sputtering technology, no technology exists for carrying out low-temperature magnetron sputtering on an AlN nucleating layer on metalAnd (5) problems are solved. In addition, in the field of LED research, when growing single Crystal nitride films on sapphire, AlN nucleation layers grown by low-temperature magnetron sputtering have been proven to be effective in improving the quality of single Crystal nitride films and improving the luminous efficiency of LED devices (c.h. chiu, y.w.lin, m.t.tsai, b.c.lin, z.y.li, p.m.tu, s.c. huang, Earl Hsu, w.y.uen d, w.i.lee c, h.c. kuo, Journal of Crystal Growth, vol.414, pp.258-262, 2015). When a high-quality nitride single crystal film is grown on metal by MOCVD, the AlN nucleating layer by low-temperature magnetron sputtering can cover and protect a metal electrode, the difficult problem of metal in the high-temperature MOCVD growth process is eliminated, and the quality of the nitride single crystal film grown by the subsequent MOCVD is expected to be greatly improved. Therefore, the invention provides an effective method for preparing a high-quality single crystal nitride film on metal, and provides a single crystal nitride bulk acoustic wave resonator on the basis of the method, and the high-performance single crystal bulk acoustic wave resonator is hopeful to be prepared.
