Description

Bulk acoustic wave resonator with Bragg reflection grating structure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency filters, in particular to a bulk acoustic wave resonator with a Bragg reflection grating structure.
Background
With the rapid commercialization of the fifth generation communication technology internationally, the conventional rf filter no longer satisfies the requirement for high frequency communication. Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBARs) have become one of the mainstream filters of rf front-end devices in 5G communication systems due to their advantages of high Q value, large bandwidth, small size, etc. The solid assembled bulk acoustic wave resonator (SMR-BAW) does not need to prepare a cavity on a substrate, but adopts a Bragg structure formed by alternately forming films of two different materials to reflect acoustic waves back to a piezoelectric stack, so that the solid assembled bulk acoustic wave resonator has higher mechanical strength, higher device yield and longer device service life.
The Bragg sound wave reflection structure is formed by alternately combining high sound impedance films and low sound impedance films, when the thickness of each layer of film meets the Bragg reflection condition, the reflection of sound wave energy near the resonant frequency can be realized, and the reflection efficiency is close to that of air. However, some energy will still leak from the bragg structure into the substrate, and this energy will be reflected back into the piezoelectric stack through the substrate and cause parasitic resonance, resulting in a lower Q value of the SMR than that of a bulk acoustic resonator with a cavity.

Preferably, the scatterer embedded in the bragg reflection layer and the bragg reflection layer together form a device bottom acoustic reflection layer.
More preferably, the scatterer and the high-sound impedance layer in the low-sound impedance layer are both made of high-sound impedance materials, and the acoustic impedance ratio of the low-sound impedance layer to the scatterer is 0.1-0.9.
More preferably, the scatterer and the low-sound impedance layer in the high-sound impedance layer are both made of low-sound impedance materials, and the acoustic impedance ratio of the high-sound impedance layer to the scatterer is 2-8.

The invention has the following beneficial effects:
the conventional Bragg structure can only effectively reflect longitudinal waves, the phononic crystal is formed by embedding scattering bodies with different acoustic impedances into the Bragg reflection layer, and the phononic crystal has higher reflection coefficients for the longitudinal waves and the shear waves by utilizing the characteristics of low transmission and high reflection coefficient of the phononic crystal to sound waves in a forbidden band in a larger range, so that the energy is effectively inhibited in the piezoelectric oscillation stack, the Q value of a device is improved, and out-of-band parasitism is inhibited.

Detailed Description
For a better description of the invention, reference will now be made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a bulk acoustic wave resonator having a bragg reflection grating structure includes a substrate 1, a bragg reflection layer 2, a lower electrode 3, a piezoelectric layer 4, and an upper electrode 5; the bragg reflection layer 2 is formed by alternately stacking low acoustic impedance layers 6 and high acoustic impedance layers 7. The Bragg reflection layer 2 is positioned on the substrate 1, and an active sandwich structure consisting of a lower electrode 3, a piezoelectric layer 4 and an upper electrode 5 which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top is positioned on the Bragg reflection layer 2; as shown in fig. 2, each of the bragg reflection layers 2 is embedded in a scatterer to form a phononic crystal, the scatterer in the high acoustic impedance layer 7 is a low acoustic impedance material 9, and the scatterer in the low acoustic impedance layer 6 is a high acoustic impedance material 8.
The cross-section of the diffuser includes, but is not limited to, circular, rectangular; the substrate 1 is made of materials including but not limited to monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, sapphire, lithium niobate, diamond and sapphire; materials selected for the low acoustic impedance layer 6 and the low acoustic impedance material 9 include, but are not limited to, aluminum, silicon dioxide, porous silicon, polyesteramide; the materials selected for the high acoustic impedance layer 7 and the high acoustic impedance material 8 include, but are not limited to, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium-tungsten alloy, and aluminum nitride. The upper electrode 5 and the lower electrode 3 are made of materials including, but not limited to, aluminum, molybdenum, gold, tungsten, titanium, silver, and platinum; the piezoelectric layer 4 is made of materials including, but not limited to, aluminum nitride, lithium niobate, lead zirconate titanate, barium strontium titanate, and zinc oxide.
As shown in fig. 3, the impedance curve of the bulk acoustic wave resonator of the present invention is smoother over a wide frequency band as compared to the conventional SMR device. The Q value of the parallel resonance point of the traditional SMR device is lower because longitudinal wave and shear wave energy are partially leaked into the substrate at the parallel resonance point, but the photonic crystal is embedded in the Bragg structure, and the high reflectivity characteristic of the photonic crystal to the longitudinal wave and the shear wave in a forbidden band is utilized, so that the energy loss of the device is reduced, and the Q value of the device is improved.
