Background
Since the development of analog rf communication technology in the early 90 th century, rf front-end modules have gradually become the core components of communication devices. In all rf front-end modules, the filter has become the most fierce component to grow and have the greatest development prospect. With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, 5G communication protocols are becoming mature, and the market also puts forward more strict standards on various aspects of the performance of radio frequency filters. The performance of the filter is determined by the resonator elements that make up the filter. Among the existing filters, the Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) is one of the most suitable filters for 5G applications due to its small size, low insertion loss, large out-of-band rejection, high quality factor, high operating frequency, large power capacity, and good anti-electrostatic shock capability.

With continued reference to fig. 2, a second electrode 23, a piezoelectric layer 22 and a first electrode 21 are sequentially formed on the carrier substrate 4, wherein the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 23 may be formed by a physical vapor deposition process and an etching process, and the periphery of the first electrode 21 and/or the second electrode 23 extends to the support layer 12 at the periphery of the first cavity formed subsequently, so as to improve the structural strength of the resonator, which is better when the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 23 both extend from the effective resonance area to the first substrate 1 at the periphery of the first cavity 121 or the acoustic mirror 51. The piezoelectric layer 22 can be deposited using any suitable method known to those skilled in the art, such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition. By forming the piezoelectric layer 22 on the flat second electrode 23, both the upper surface and the lower surface of the piezoelectric layer 22 are flat, thereby ensuring that the piezoelectric layer 22 has a better lattice orientation, improving the piezoelectric properties of the piezoelectric layer 22, and further improving the overall performance of the resonator. It should be noted that the periphery of the first electrode 21 is the outer edge of the whole structure thereof, the periphery of the second electrode 23 is the outer edge of the whole structure thereof, and the effective resonance region is the region surrounded by the subsequently formed annular gap.
In other embodiments, when the first electrode 21 and/or the second electrode 23 are formed, the corresponding electrodes may be etched, so that a portion of the circumference of the first electrode 21 and/or the second electrode 23 extends onto the support layer 12 at the periphery of the first cavity, and in this case, to ensure the structural strength of the resonator, the electrodes extending onto the first substrate 1 at the periphery of the first cavity 121 are symmetrically distributed, so as to ensure the support strength, so that the electrodes cover part or all of the first cavity.

With continued reference to fig. 2, before forming the annular sacrificial protrusion, the first electrode 21 is etched to form an annular trench 24, and the annular trench 24 is in a closed ring shape, so that the first electrode 21 is disconnected at the position of the annular trench 24, thereby facilitating the connection of the disconnected first electrode 21 by the subsequently formed electrode leading-out structure 3, and since the impedance of the subsequently formed electrode leading-out structure 3 is lower than that of the first electrode 21, the impedance of the first electrode 21 can be reduced. In addition, the annular trench 24 may also expose the boundary of the first electrode 21 to the annular gap 32 formed later, so as to achieve the effect of eliminating the electrode boundary noise in the effective resonance region, thereby improving the Q value of the resonator.

In other embodiments, after the piezoelectric layer 22 is formed, the piezoelectric layer 22 may be etched to form a first trench 25, the first trench 25 is filled with a sacrificial material, so that the upper surface of the first trench is flush with the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 22, the first electrode 21 is formed thereon, the first electrode 21 is etched to form an annular trench, and the sacrificial material filled in the first trench 25 is removed, so that the annular trench 24 is formed to be opposite to the first trench 25.

In the present embodiment, when the first trench 25 and the annular trench 24 are formed simultaneously, the projection of the first trench 25 on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 22 and the projection of the annular trench 24 on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 22 are completely overlapped, and the acoustic wave suppression effect is good. In addition, the first trench 25 is a closed ring, and the piezoelectric layer 22 at the inner periphery of the annular gap 32 and the piezoelectric layer 22 at the outer periphery of the annular gap 32 are isolated from each other; alternatively, the first trench 25 is in the shape of a discontinuous ring, and the piezoelectric layer 32 inside the annular gap 32 is isolated from the piezoelectric layer outside the annular gap 32 by the discontinuity. When the first groove 25 is a closed ring, the sound wave suppression effect is good.

The first sacrificial layer material patterned on the first electrode 21 forms an annular sacrificial protrusion 32 ', and the annular sacrificial protrusion 32' is a continuous structure, encloses a closed ring shape, and defines the boundary of the resonator effective resonance area through the boundary of the ring shape.
With continued reference to fig. 3, an electrode lead-out structure 3 is formed on the first electrode 21, covering the annular sacrificial protrusion 32', and having an edge overlapping the edge of the first electrode 21 in the effective resonance area, and specifically includes: and depositing a conductive material on the first electrode 21 to form an electrode lead-out structure 3, wherein the electrode lead-out structure 3 covers the first electrode 21 and the annular sacrificial protrusion 32' formed on the first electrode 21 and extends to the support layer 12 at the periphery of the first cavity. It should be noted that the deposited conductive material covers part of the first electrode 21 and the first electrode 21 at the periphery of the annular sacrificial protrusion 32 'and the annular sacrificial protrusion 32', and extends to the periphery of the first electrode 21, and the annular sacrificial protrusion 32 'forms a closed ring shape, so that the boundary of the annular sacrificial protrusion 32' defines the range of the effective resonance region. In addition, the electrode lead-out structure 3 and the second electrode 23 are formed to have first portions extending outside the effective resonance region, respectively, as electrode connection terminals.
In the actual manufacturing process, since the electrode leading-out structure 3 only needs to be connected with the first electrode 21 disconnected by the annular groove, the conductive material may also be etched to remove a portion of the conductive material located in the region surrounded by the annular sacrificial protrusion 32 ', so that the electrode leading-out structure 3 is disconnected inside the region surrounded by the annular sacrificial protrusion 32'. It should be noted that the arch bridge 31 of the electrode lead-out structure is a portion of the conductive material formed on the annular sacrificial protrusion 32'. The electrode extraction structure 3 is further patterned when the electrode extraction structure 3 is formed, and the second electrode 23 is further patterned when the second electrode 23 is formed, so that the electrode extraction structure 3 and the second electrode 23 are at least partially staggered at the periphery of an effective resonance region, the high-frequency coupling problem caused by potential floating is avoided, parasitic capacitance is prevented from being formed, and the quality factor of the resonator is improved. When the projections of the electrode lead-out structures 3 on the periphery of the effective resonance area and the second electrode 23 on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 22 are completely staggered, the problem of high-frequency coupling can be better avoided.
In the present embodiment, the electrode lead-out structure 3 is formed to extend from the periphery of the annular gap to the support layer on the periphery of the first cavity to be formed later. Specifically, the electrode lead-out structure 3 includes an arch bridge 31 and a lap portion connecting the arch bridge 31 and extending to the periphery of the first cavity 121 or the acoustic mirror 51, the periphery of the arch bridge 31 is lapped on the edge of the first electrode 21 in the effective resonance region, and the lap portion surrounds part of or the whole periphery of the first electrode 21. In other words, when part of the circumference of the strap extends to the outer edge of the support layer 12 around the periphery of the first cavity 121, or the entire circumference of the strap extends to the outer edge of the support layer 12 around the periphery of the first cavity 121 to be electrically connected to the outside, the resonator has a better structural strength when the entire circumference of the strap extends to the outer edge of the support layer 12 around the periphery of the first cavity 121. The lapping part can be a planar structure without etching and is laid on the first electrode 21; or, the overlapping part may be etched to form a plurality of strip-shaped overlapping parts, and the plurality of strip-shaped overlapping parts may be symmetrically distributed on the first electrode 21, thereby improving the structural strength of the resonator.
It should be noted that to reduce the impedance of the first electrode 21, the impedance of the electrode lead-out structure 3 should be lower than the impedance of the first electrode 21. The electrode lead-out structure 3 is made of a metal material, and the metal material comprises one or more of gold, silver, tungsten, platinum, aluminum, copper, titanium, tin and nickel.
Referring to fig. 4, a support layer 12 is formed on the first electrode 21.

The material of the support layer 12 may be any suitable dielectric material, including but not limited to one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride, etc., but the technology of the present invention is not limited thereto.
With continued reference to fig. 4, the supporting layer 12 is patterned to form a first cavity 121 penetrating through the supporting layer 12, and the first cavity 121 exposes at least the arched bridge 31 structure of the electrode lead-out structure 3, so that an effective resonance area is formed above the first cavity 121, thereby facilitating the acoustic wave, which is located in the effective resonance area and transmitted between the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 23, to be reflected back through the gas interface in the first cavity 121, thereby improving the acoustic wave utilization rate. In the present embodiment, the first cavity 121 may be formed through an etching process. The cross-sectional shape of the first cavity 121 may be rectangular, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the first cavity 121 may also be circular, oval, or polygonal other than rectangular, such as pentagonal, hexagonal, etc.
With continued reference to fig. 4, a first substrate 11 is formed, the first substrate 11 covering the first cavity 121. In this embodiment, the first substrate 11 may be bonded to the support layer 12 by means of a bonding layer. The material of the bonding layer comprises silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbonitride or ethyl silicate. In addition, the bonding layer may also use an adhesive such as a photo-curing material or a thermosetting material, for example, a Die Attach Film (DAF) or a Dry Film (Dry Film). The material of the first substrate 11 may be at least one of the following materials: silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), silicon germanium (SiGe), silicon carbon (SiC), silicon germanium carbon (SiGeC), indium arsenide (InAs), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), or other III/V compound semiconductors.

The carrier substrate may be removed by a grinding process or a wet etching process, or an isolation layer may be formed on the carrier substrate before the second electrode 23 is formed, and the carrier substrate may be peeled by removing the isolation layer. The material of the isolation layer includes but is not limited to at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride or thermal expansion adhesive tape.

Specifically, a release hole through the second electrode 23 to expose the first sacrificial layer material in the first trench 25 and the annular trench 24 is formed on the second electrode 23, and the annular sacrificial protrusion is removed through the release hole. The method for removing the annular sacrificial protrusion comprises the following steps: a first release hole exposing the annular sacrificial protrusion is formed on the second electrode 23, and the annular sacrificial protrusion is removed through the first release hole. In the process of removing the annular sacrificial protrusion, according to the material of the annular sacrificial protrusion, a corresponding removal method is adopted, for example, when the material of the annular sacrificial protrusion is polyimide or photoresist, an ashing method is adopted for removing, specifically, at a temperature of 250 ℃, oxygen and the material of the sacrificial layer undergo a chemical reaction through air, generated gas substances are volatilized, when the material of the annular sacrificial protrusion is low-temperature silicon dioxide, a hydrofluoric acid solvent and the low-temperature silicon dioxide undergo a reaction for removal, so that an annular gap 32 is formed, and the shape of the annular gap 32 is the same as that of the annular sacrificial protrusion.

When the projection of the annular groove 24 on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 22 is entirely within the projection of the annular gap 32 on the surface of the piezoelectric layer 22, the effect of preventing the acoustic wave from leaking is good. In addition, the area surrounded by the annular gap is an effective resonance area, and the first electrode 21, the piezoelectric layer 22 and the second electrode 23 in the effective resonance area overlap with each other on a surface perpendicular to the piezoelectric layer 22.
