Description

Multi-layer piezoelectric substrate provided with beryllium-aluminum alloy film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of substrates for filters, in particular to a multi-layer piezoelectric substrate provided with a beryllium-aluminum alloy film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In surface acoustic wave devices, aluminum films are the most suitable material for producing surface acoustic waves due to their relatively low acoustic resistance. However, in the process of growing the aluminum film, the lattice of the grown aluminum film is strictly distorted due to the lattice mismatch with the matrix piezoelectric material, the aluminum film has larger stress, and in the application of surface acoustic waves, the phenomenon that the electrode falls off due to the separation of the aluminum film and the matrix material is easily generated under the action of high-frequency and high-power acoustoelectric force.
In the cellular radio application of saw filters, devices are required to withstand up to 1W of transmitted or received power. However, under the action of large current, due to the migration effect of aluminum atoms, the electrode is easily broken or short-circuited, and the high temperature brought by high power to the surface of the substrate makes the device easily fail.

A method for preparing the multi-layer piezoelectric substrate provided with the beryllium-aluminum alloy film comprises the following steps:
step 1, soaking the piezoelectric substrate layer in a mixed acid solution to enable the surface of the substrate to be in a hydrophobic state, so that metal atoms can be attached to the surface of the substrate;

Detailed Description
In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, the drawings needed to be used in the embodiments will be briefly described below, and it is obvious that the drawings in the following description are some embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious for those skilled in the art that other drawings can be obtained according to these drawings without creative efforts.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, a multilayer piezoelectric substrate 100 provided with a beryllium-aluminum alloy film is provided, and in an embodiment, the multilayer piezoelectric substrate includes a piezoelectric substrate layer 10 and a conductive layer 30, which are sequentially provided, where the conductive layer 30 is a beryllium-aluminum alloy film.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in another embodiment, the interdigital transducer includes a piezoelectric substrate layer 10, a transition layer 20, and a conductive layer 30, which are sequentially disposed, where the transition layer 20 is a beryllium aluminum alloy film, and the conductive layer 30 is an aluminum film.
Further, the ratio of the beryllium content to the aluminum content in the beryllium-aluminum alloy film is 20% -40%: 80 to 60 percent. For example, the ratio of the two may be 20%:80% and 30%:70% and 50%:50%, etc.
The invention adopts beryllium-aluminum alloy as a transition film material, wherein beryllium is in a hexagonal crystal system structure, and the crystal system structure and lattice parameters are shown in the following table:
Figure 612667DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
because aluminum is a cubic system and piezoelectric substrate materials such as lithium niobate and lithium tantalate are a hexagonal system, when an aluminum film directly grows on the lithium niobate and the lithium tantalate, the lattice structures of the aluminum film and the lithium tantalate are not matched, and because the aluminum film is a metal film and the piezoelectric substrate layer 10 is a non-metal material layer, the lattice of the growing aluminum film is strictly distorted, and the stress of the aluminum film is large.
Therefore, the beryllium-aluminum alloy is used as the sputtering film, the beryllium is in a hexagonal crystal system and is easy to combine with the piezoelectric base layer with the same lattice structure, the aluminum in the alloy can be used as a sound transmission material and used as a conductive layer in the first embodiment, the sound transmission efficiency of the aluminum film is improved by only using the aluminum, and the problem of poor combination caused by different lattice structures between the aluminum film and the piezoelectric substrate is solved by using the beryllium;
in another embodiment, the alloy film is used as a transition layer connected between the aluminum film and the piezoelectric substrate, so that the problem of poor combination caused by different lattice structures between the aluminum film and the piezoelectric substrate is solved; in addition, the alloy film and the aluminum film are both metal films, and the alloy film and the aluminum film are combined by metal bonds, so that the combination state is good, and the aluminum film is not easy to fall off.
It can be seen that the present solution solves both of the above-described problems associated with the bonding of the aluminum film to the piezoelectric substrate layer 10.
Further, the thickness of the transition layer 20 may be determined according to a sputtering process design.
Further, the transition layer 20 has a multilayer structure, and the multilayer structure of the transition layer 20 is a beryllium film and a beryllium aluminum alloy film which are sequentially arranged at intervals. For example, the transition layer 20 may have a two-layer structure of a beryllium film and a beryllium aluminum alloy film, a three-layer structure of a beryllium film, a beryllium aluminum alloy film, and a three-layer structure of a beryllium film, a beryllium aluminum alloy film, a beryllium film, and a beryllium aluminum alloy film, which are provided in this order.
Further, the material of the piezoelectric substrate layer 10 is one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, quartz, and langasite.
The present invention also provides a method for preparing the multilayer piezoelectric substrate, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, soaking a piezoelectric matrix layer 10 in a mixed acid solution to make the surface of a substrate in a hydrophobic state, so as to facilitate the adhesion of metal atoms thereon;
step 2, depositing a conductive layer 30 on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate layer 10 by magnetron sputtering;
in another embodiment, the preparation method comprises the following steps:
step 1, soaking a piezoelectric matrix layer 10 in a mixed acid solution to make the surface of a substrate in a hydrophobic state, so as to facilitate the adhesion of metal atoms thereon;
step 2, depositing a layer of transition layer 20 film on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate layer 10 by magnetron sputtering;
and 3, depositing a conductive layer 30 on the surface of the transition layer 20 by magnetron sputtering.
Further, in step 1, the mixed acid solution is a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid, or a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid.
Further, in step 1, the piezoelectric substrate layer 10 is soaked in the mixed acid solution, and nitrogen gas is blown into the mixed acid solution at the same time, so as to enhance the cleaning capability of the surface of the piezoelectric substrate layer 10.
The composite piezoelectric substrate of the invention is extracted to carry out a power durability test and a service life detection test, and the following data are obtained:
conducting layer (thickness) Transition layer (thickness) Life test (double) Power durability test (dBm) Remarks for note
Al(100nm) Nothing (0 nm) 1 29.0 Symbol a
None (0 nm) BeAl(40nm) 10 32.0 Symbol b

Nothing (0 nm) Be(4nm)/BeAl(4nm)/ Be(4nm) / BeAl (24nm) 35 35.0 Sign d
The substrate in the table is a lithium tantalate wafer as an example, and as can be seen from the table, the mark a substrate is a two-layer structure only comprising a lithium tantalate substrate layer and an aluminum conductive layer in the background art; the substrate marked b is a two-layer structure provided with a beryllium-aluminum alloy layer as a conducting layer, so that the service life of the two-layer structure is multiplied, and the durability of the two-layer structure is obviously improved; the substrates marked c and d are respectively of a multilayer structure provided with two layers of films and four layers of films, so that the service life of the substrate provided with the multilayer structure is multiplied, and the durability of the substrate is obviously improved.
It can also be seen from the above table that in the original design of the mark a, the thickness of the piezoelectric substrate layer is not calculated, and the thickness of the single aluminum layer is 100nm, whereas in the present invention, in the substrates of the marks b, c, and d, the total thickness of the transition layer is 40nm, the thickness of the transition layer becomes thinner, the thinner transition layer is beneficial to reducing the acoustic resistance and improving the sound velocity, and in addition, as can be seen from the power durability data, the firmness of the transition layer is increased.
The modules or units in the device of the embodiment of the invention can be combined, divided and deleted according to actual needs.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
