Description

Ultrahigh frequency resonator based on embedded electrode
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of resonators, in particular to an ultrahigh frequency resonator based on an embedded electrode.
Background
The 5G/6G era has come, and the development of wireless and mobile communication systems is pushed to the front of the era again, which has a rapidly increased demand for multiband high-frequency filters, and the performance of the filters depends on the performance of the resonators, thereby placing higher demands on the performance of the piezoelectric resonators. 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. Therefore, a resonator assembly that achieves a high quality factor plays a crucial role for low insertion loss, steep filter skirts, and high out-of-band rejection filters.
Surface Acoustic Wave resonators (Surface Acoustic Wave resonators) and Bulk Acoustic Wave resonators (Bulk Acoustic Wave resonators) have dominated the mainstream market by their unique advantages. However, a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonator has difficulty in maintaining excellent performance in a high frequency band due to its low phase velocity, a limitation in photolithography, and the like. Bulk acoustic wave resonators (BAW) are widely used in the high frequency market due to their low insertion loss and good power handling capability, particularly thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR) among them, with high quality factor (Q) and high electromechanical coupling coefficient (K)2 eff). However, the resonant frequency of FBAR is determined by the thickness of the piezoelectric film, and therefore it is difficult to realize multiband integration on a single wafer. The Lamb Wave Resonator (LWR) can break through the frequency limit faced by SAW, and can obtain lamb wave resonators with different frequencies by adjusting the distance between the interdigital fingers, so that the frequency modulation of the same wafer is realized, but the low quality factor of the lamb wave resonators is always a key factor limiting the large-scale popularization of the lamb wave resonators.
