Description

Method for preparing template with high piezoelectric performance
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor material preparation, in particular to a method for preparing a template with high piezoelectric property.
Background
The filters mainly include a film bulk acoustic resonator Filter (FBAR), a surface acoustic wave filter (SAW), and a bulk acoustic wave filter (BAW). FBARs are used more in future single-chip multi-band wireless communication RF front-end systems and have a size advantage compared to SAW filters. The filters are typically in LiNbO3In recent years, attention has been paid to bulk piezoelectric materials that are suitable for integration with other devices on the same substrate. The SAW propagation speed of the AlN thin film is the fastest, and the AlN SAW device has good chemical and thermal stability, has extremely high sensitivity to external environments such as pressure, temperature, stress, gas and the like, is compatible with the conventional traditional Si CMOS technology, thereby becoming a key part for passive sensing, wireless sensing and mobile signal processing, and the AlN is mature in the SAW/BAW filter and has been commercialized. However, AlN for saw applications is inherently limited by its low electromechanical coupling coefficient (K2), typically in the range of less than 1%, which is especially important for saw-based applications such as sensors, drivers, and saw-based microfluidics. Therefore, lattice parameters can be changed by doping Sc and Ta into AlN, as the concentration of Sc and Ta of the wurtzite phase is increased, an ion potential well is reduced, the displacement of ions in an electric field is increased, dielectric and piezoelectric response is increased, an inherent alloying effect is formed, the topological structure of the surface is greatly influenced, the elastic softening along the lattice parameter c is intensified, and the inherent sensitivity of axial strain is remarkably improved, so that the piezoelectric constant and the electromechanical coupling coefficient are increased, and the prepared template can be better suitable for applications based on bulk acoustic wave and surface acoustic wave devices (such as sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, and the like,Drivers and surface acoustic wave based microfluidics, etc.).
