Description

Novel resonator structure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of MEMS resonators, and particularly relates to a novel resonator structure.
Background
The rapid development of wireless and mobile communication systems has driven rapid innovation in component performance and system integration techniques. In order to achieve faster signal processing and reduce the complexity of integration, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) resonators that are miniaturized and compatible with CMOS technology become a new generation of core devices, and thus high performance MEMS resonator technology has a high demand as a fundamental component of the radio frequency front end of advanced wireless communication systems.
MEMS radio frequency devices play an extremely important role in the field of communications. At present, the commonly used band-pass filters in the radio frequency system mainly include microwave dielectric ceramic filters, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters and film bulk acoustic wave (FBAR) filters. With the rapid development of wireless communication towards multiple frequency bands, multiple systems and multiple protocols, the whole wireless communication system is smaller and smaller, the integration level and the communication frequency are higher and higher, the frequency resources are more and more crowded, the requirements on the performance of the filter are increased, however, the performance of the filter depends on the performance of the resonator, and therefore, the performance of the resonator is of great importance.
The resonators based on piezoelectric theory at present are mainly surface acoustic wave resonators (SAW), Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR), Lamb wave resonators (Lamb wave Resonator), and ultra high frequency resonators (XBAR). The most critical properties of a resonator as such are the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the quality factor (Q value). The electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator determines the bandwidth of the filter, and its quality factor directly affects its in-band insertion loss and steepness of the filter skirt. Thus, a resonator assembly that achieves a high quality factor plays a critical role for low insertion loss, steep filter skirts, high out-of-band rejection filters, especially high frequency resonators. So far, related designers have also proposed design methods for improving the quality factor of the resonator, but the problems of complex process, difficult processing and the like generally exist. Therefore, a method which is simple in process and can effectively improve the quality factor of the resonator is urgently needed.

further, the piezoelectric layer is preferably a thin film material having piezoelectric properties of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, aluminum nitride, scandium-doped aluminum nitride.
Further, the pattern of the piezoelectric layer is a regular or irregular pattern such as a circle, a pentagon, a hexagon and the like.
Furthermore, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are both strip-shaped structures which are distributed along a spiral curve extending outwards clockwise or anticlockwise at the center and the area near the center.
Further, the spiral curve may be an archimedean spiral, a chain spiral, a spiral broken line.
