Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of resonators, in particular to a radio frequency resonator and a filter.
Background
The radio frequency resonators are mainly classified into surface acoustic wave resonators (SAW) and Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (FBAR). Among them, the surface acoustic wave resonator has been gradually replaced by a thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator because the manufacturing process is simple, but the operating frequency is lower than 2 GHz. The working frequency of the film bulk acoustic resonator can reach 10GHz, the effective electromechanical coupling coefficient of the FBAR based on the aluminum nitride film material can reach 7%, but the resonant frequency of the FBAR depends on the thickness of the piezoelectric layer, so that the multi-frequency device is difficult to integrate on a single wafer on the basis of not using an external circuit and not increasing the complexity of the manufacturing process. To solve this problem, lamb wave resonators with various frequencies can be monolithically integrated.
The structure of a traditional lamb wave resonator is a sandwich structure formed by a top electrode, a piezoelectric layer and a bottom electrode which are inserted and are uniform in size. The existing lamb wave resonator can adjust the working frequency by adjusting the distance between the interdigital electrodes, but simultaneously, the existing lamb wave resonator has higher electrode resistance, larger electric energy loss and overlarge device size due to the existence of the interdigital electrodes, so that the quality factor and the effective electromechanical coefficient of the lamb wave resonator are lower than those of an FBAR (fiber bulk acoustic resonator), and the lamb wave resonator is also obvious in pseudo mode, so that the lamb wave resonator is still in an experimental stage and cannot be used commercially at times.

Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a radio frequency resonator, which includes a substrate 10, a piezoelectric layer 20 on the substrate 10, and an upper electrode 30 on the piezoelectric layer 20; the upper electrode 30 comprises a first electrode array 31 and a second electrode array 32 with the electric potential opposite to that of the first electrode array 31, the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 respectively comprise a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side, and the sub-electrodes 33 of the first electrode array 31 and the sub-electrodes 33 of the second electrode array 32 are alternately arranged; wherein the piezoelectric layer 20 includes a first region 21 at the center thereof and a second region 22 outside the first region 21, and an average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 is larger than an average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22. The radio frequency resonator can effectively reduce energy leakage, further excite the piezoelectric layer 20 piezoelectric effect and effectively suppress pseudo modes.
The radio frequency resonator can be a solid state assembled resonator or a cavity type film bulk acoustic resonator. When the film bulk acoustic resonator is a cavity type film bulk acoustic resonator, a cavity 11 may be disposed on a side of the substrate 10 close to the piezoelectric layer 20, the cavity 11 in the substrate 10 may be obtained by filling a sacrificial material in an early stage and releasing the sacrificial material in a later stage, which is well known to those skilled in the art, and thus, the details of the present application are not repeated. In the case of a solid-State Mounted Resonator (SMR), a bragg reflector formed by alternately arranging high and low acoustic impedance layers may be provided between the substrate 10 and the piezoelectric layer 20 to reflect the acoustic wave. For ease of understanding and explanation, the present application mainly exemplifies that the rf resonator is a cavity type film bulk acoustic resonator.
The overlapping areas of the cavity 11, the piezoelectric layer 20 and the upper electrode 30 along the stacking direction of the levels of the radiofrequency resonator form the resonance area of the radiofrequency resonator.
It should be noted that the radio frequency resonator provided by the present application can be used for surface acoustic wave resonators and bulk acoustic wave resonators.
In the present embodiment, the rf resonator may include the lower electrode 40, or may not include the lower electrode 40. When the lower electrode 40 is not provided, since the upper electrode 30 includes the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32, and the potentials of the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 are opposite (i.e., the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 can be respectively switched on with positive alternating current and negative alternating current), an electric signal can pass through the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 to further excite longitudinal acoustic waves inside the piezoelectric layer 20.
The first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 respectively include a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side, as shown in fig. 2, that is, the first electrode array 31 includes a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side, and the second electrode array 32 also includes a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side. In the present embodiment, the sub-electrodes 33 of the first electrode array 31 and the sub-electrodes 33 of the second electrode array 32 are alternately arranged, i.e., as shown in fig. 2.
Referring to fig. 2, the piezoelectric layer 20 includes a first area 21 and a second area 22, wherein the first area 21 is located in a middle portion of the piezoelectric layer 20, and the second area 22 is located at an edge of the piezoelectric layer 20. In the present embodiment, the average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 is greater than the average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22. For example, taking fig. 2 as an example, the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 include three sub-electrodes (one of the sub-electrodes 33 is the sub-electrode 33 of the second electrode array 32, and the other two sub-electrodes 33 are the sub-electrodes 33 of the first electrode array 31), and the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22 include four sub-electrodes (two of the sub-electrodes 33 are the sub-electrodes 33 of the second electrode array 32, and the other two sub-electrodes 33 are the sub-electrodes 33 of the first electrode array 31), in which case, the average width of the three sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 is greater than the average width of the four sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22. It should be understood that the width direction of the sub-electrodes 33 is the same as the arrangement direction of the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32, and corresponds to the horizontal direction in fig. 2.
Since the rf resonator is in operation, the electric energy is mainly concentrated in the electrode layer, and the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric layer 20 is excited by the electric energy, so as to generate an acoustic wave. Therefore, the invention can concentrate the energy at the middle position of the radio frequency resonator by increasing the size of the middle part of the upper electrode 30 of the radio frequency resonator and increasing the metallization ratio of the radio frequency resonator, thereby further exciting the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric layer 20 at the middle position of the radio frequency resonator and weakening the piezoelectric effect at the edge area of the radio frequency resonator, thus radically reducing the energy leakage.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, fig. 7 is a mode diagram obtained by simulation of a radio frequency resonator provided in a conventional structure, and fig. 8 is a mode diagram obtained by simulation of a radio frequency resonator provided in the present application. Through analysis of mode diagrams of the two structures, it is obvious that the radio frequency resonator provided by the application can effectively concentrate energy in a middle area of the resonator compared with a traditional structure, and can effectively excite a piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric layer 20, and at a resonance frequency point, the piezoelectric layer 20 of the structure provided by the invention vibrates obviously stronger than the traditional structure.
Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a graph comparing impedance curves of the rf resonator provided in the present application and the rf resonator provided in the conventional structure (in fig. 9, the impedance curve of the rf resonator provided in the present application is shown by a solid line, and the impedance curve of the rf resonator provided in the conventional structure is shown by a dotted line). It can be seen that the impedance curve of the radio frequency resonator provided by the application is significantly sharper than that of the radio frequency resonator provided by the traditional structure, and the application is obviously better than the traditional structure by combining the simulation results.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, fig. 10 is a graph showing an impedance curve measured by an rf resonator provided in a conventional structure; fig. 11 is a measured impedance curve of the rf resonator provided in the present application. According to fig. 11, the rf resonator provided by the present application can reach more than 5GHz, the bandwidth is more than 25%, and the impedance curve of the present application is smoother compared with the rf resonator provided by the conventional structure, and can effectively reduce the generation of stray modes, so that the main mode vibration is more obvious, and the energy is more concentrated in the main mode. Compared with the traditional structure, the structure can effectively inhibit the pseudo mode between the series resonance frequency and the parallel resonance frequency, and meanwhile, the Q value is improved compared with the traditional structure, namely, the structure can effectively inhibit the stray mode, improve the resonance of the main mode and further improve the performance of the resonator.
In summary, the radio frequency resonator provided by the present application includes a substrate 10, a piezoelectric layer 20 located on the substrate 10, and an upper electrode 30 located on the piezoelectric layer 20; the upper electrode 30 comprises a first electrode array 31 and a second electrode array 32 with the electric potential opposite to that of the first electrode array 31, the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 respectively comprise a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side, and the sub-electrodes 33 of the first electrode array 31 and the sub-electrodes 33 of the second electrode array 32 are alternately arranged; wherein the piezoelectric layer 20 includes a first region 21 at the center thereof and a second region 22 outside the first region 21, and an average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 is larger than an average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22. The radio frequency resonator provided by the application sets the average width of the sub-electrode 33 at the middle position of the piezoelectric layer 20 to be larger than the average width of the sub-electrode 33 at the edge position of the piezoelectric layer 20, so that the energy of the radio frequency resonator is mainly concentrated in the middle of the radio frequency resonator, the energy dissipation is reduced fundamentally, the piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric layer 20 is further excited, and the pseudo mode is effectively suppressed. Meanwhile, the structure with the larger width of the sub-electrode 33 in the middle position completely accords with the micro-nano processing process flow, and no additional process step is needed.
In this embodiment, the average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 is greater than the average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22, which may include at least the following two cases:
in a first possible case, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the width of each sub-electrode 33 located in the first region 21 is greater than the width of any one of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22.
In a second possible case, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the widths of two adjacent sub-electrodes 33 are different in the first region 21. That is, the sub-electrodes 33 of the first region 21 are formed by the sub-electrodes 33 spaced apart from each other. The sub-electrodes 33 in the first region 21 may include two widths (i.e., a first width and a second width, where the first width is greater than the second width, and the widths of two adjacent sub-electrodes 33 are the first width and the second width, respectively), or may include multiple widths (in short, the widths of the sub-electrodes 33 in the first region 21 may be different from each other, or may be partially the same and partially different from each other, etc.).
Also, in the present embodiment, the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 may be alternatively interdigital electrodes, as shown in fig. 2 and 4.
Alternatively, the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 may be ring-shaped electrode arrays, respectively, as shown in fig. 5. At this time, the sub-electrodes 33 of the first electrode array 31 are distributed in a ring shape, and the sub-electrodes 33 of the second electrode array 32 are also distributed in a ring shape.
Still alternatively, as shown in fig. 6, each sub-electrode 33 may also include a plurality of electrode blocks 331, and two adjacent electrode blocks 331 are connected by a bridge 332 or an electrical connection line. That is, the first electrode array 31 includes a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side, each sub-electrode 33 includes a plurality of electrode blocks 331, and two adjacent electrode blocks 331 are connected by a bridge 332 or an electrical connection line; the second electrode array 32 also includes a plurality of sub-electrodes 33 arranged side by side, each sub-electrode 33 includes a plurality of electrode blocks 331, and two adjacent electrode blocks 331 are connected by a bridge 332 or an electrical connection line. In this way, the first electrode array 31 and the second electrode array 32 are two-dimensionally distributed electrodes.
It should be noted that, in this case, since the average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 is larger than the average width of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22, the average diameter of the electrode blocks 331 of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the first region 21 should be larger than the average diameter of the electrode blocks 331 of the sub-electrodes 33 located in the second region 22, as shown in fig. 6.
Alternatively, the shape of the electrode block 331 may be any one of a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon (the shape of the electrode block 331 shown in fig. 6 is a circle); and/or, the shape of the bridge 332 may be any one of a straight line shape, a circular shape, an arc shape and a polygonal shape (the shape of the bridge 332 shown in fig. 6 is a straight line shape).
In the present embodiment, the material of the piezoelectric layer 20 may be any one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, aluminum nitride, barium strontium titanate, doped aluminum nitride, lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramics, or a combination of at least two of them.
Alternatively, the material of the upper electrode 30 may be any one of platinum, molybdenum, gold, tungsten, copper, chromium, aluminum, or a combination of at least two thereof.
In another aspect of the invention, a filter is provided, which comprises the above-mentioned radio frequency resonator. Since the specific structure and the advantageous effects of the rf resonator have been described in detail in the foregoing, the detailed description of the present application is omitted.
