Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, and the features of the present invention will be further apparent from the following detailed description.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a surface acoustic wave interdigital transducer (IDT). As shown in fig. 1, a metal film is deposited on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate, and then a set of comb-shaped crossed metal electrodes is obtained by using a photolithography method in a semiconductor planar process. The metal electrodes in the shape of fingers are arranged in a mutually crossed mode, and bus bars are arranged at two ends of the metal electrodes to be connected together to form two stages of devices respectively, so that the interdigital transducer is obtained. In the example of fig. 1, the 6 metal electrodes numbered 1-6 are shown together, indicating that the interdigital electrode number of this interdigital transducer is 6, wherein the electrodes (also called fingers) numbered odd numbers (1, 3, 5) are connected together to form the positive input (or output) terminal (+ V in the figure) of the interdigital transducer, and the fingers of the electrodes numbered even numbers (2, 4, 6) are connected together to form the positive input (or output) terminal (V in the figure) of the interdigital transducer.
Several main parameters of saw interdigital transducers are: the number of finger pairs N (e.g., 3 for finger pair N in fig. 1), the width d of the metal finger, the half-cycle length L, and the gap width b of the adjacent finger (b-L-d).
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional schematic view of a lamb wave resonator 100 according to one embodiment of the invention, taken transverse to the lamb wave resonator, along the line a-a, for example, as shown in fig. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, lamb wave resonator 100 may include a substrate 101, which substrate 101 may use a high acoustic velocity material, such as 4H-SiC or 6H-SiC, and constitutes a POI structure.
Above the substrate 101 is a piezoelectric layer 102, and first and second interdigital transducers (IDTs) are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric layer 102, respectively, wherein interdigital electrodes (also simply referred to as upper and lower electrodes) of the first and second interdigital transducers are opposed to each other in the stacking direction across the piezoelectric layer 102, respectively, and have the same electrode width, electrode thickness, electrode pitch, and excited acoustic wave wavelength λ. As one example, the material of the piezoelectric layer 102 may be YX-LiNbO with a cut angle of θ3The tangent angle theta may be, for example, 30 deg. -60 deg.. The interdigital electrodes of the first and second interdigital transducers may be made of a metal or alloy of Ti, Al, Cu, Au, Pt, Ag, Pd, Ni, or the like, or a laminate of these metals or alloys. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that although only two electrode fingers are shown for both the upper and lower electrodes in fig. 2, this is merely for convenience of illustration, and in practice, the interdigital electrode of a lamb wave resonator typically has more than two electrode fingers (as shown in fig. 1) all having the same electrode width, electrode thickness, electrode spacing, and excited acoustic wave wavelength λ.
FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged schematic view of a lamb wave resonator showing the electrode duty cycle. As shown in fig. 3, assuming that each finger electrode of the interdigital electrodes has an electrode width d and the distance between adjacent finger electrodes is referred to as an electrode pitch b along with the notation in fig. 1, the electrode duty ratio η can be calculated as follows:
duty ratio η ═ electrode width d ÷ (electrode width d + electrode spacing b)
As shown in fig. 1, the sum of the electrode width d and the electrode spacing b is the half-cycle length L of the interdigital transducer. In one example, the sum of the electrode width and the electrode spacing may be 0.5 λ, where λ is the excited acoustic wavelength of the electrode. Accordingly, the electrode width can be expressed as 0.5 λ η, and the electrode spacing as 0.5 λ (1- η). Further, for reference, in the present example, λ may be 2 μm, the electrode thicknesses of the upper and lower electrodes are each 200nm, the thickness of the piezoelectric layer 102 is 0.6 λ, and the thickness of the substrate 101 is 5 λ.
In past attempts to improve on the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the spurious effect, the effect of the electrode duty cycle on the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the spurious effect was never considered and explored, and the effect of the combination of the electrode duty cycle and the piezoelectric layer cut angle on the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the spurious effect was even less considered and explored.

TABLE 3
Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a lamb wave resonator 200 according to another embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 11, a lamb wave resonator 200 has a similar structure to the lamb wave resonator 100 except that a dielectric layer 103 is interposed between a high acoustic velocity substrate 101 and a piezoelectric layer 102. The dielectric layer 103 may be formed of a low acoustic impedance material having low acoustic speed, such as SiO2. The temperature coefficient of frequency of the dielectric layer 103 is positive and the temperature coefficient of frequency of the piezoelectric layer 102 is negative, so that the dielectric layer 103 can reduce the lamb wave resonatorTemperature Coefficient of Frequency (TCF). Further, the dielectric layer 103 has a low acoustic velocity and forms a reflective layer with the high acoustic velocity substrate 101, so that the acoustic wave can be prevented from leaking from the direction of the substrate 101, which contributes to obtaining a high Q value. As an example, the dielectric layer 103 may have a thickness of 0.075-0.1 λ.
Optionally, the lamb wave resonator 300 may further be covered with a dielectric layer 104 by PECVD, CVD, or the like, on the piezoelectric layer 102, and the material of the dielectric layer may be SiO2SiN, etc. This dielectric layer 104 may further reduce the Temperature Coefficient of Frequency (TCF) of the lamb wave resonator and may also act as a protective layer for the resonator.
