Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present disclosure is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used for distinguishing similar objects, and are not used for describing a particular order or sequence.
In the disclosed embodiment, the term "a is in contact with B" includes the case where a is in direct contact with B, or A, B is in contact with B indirectly with another component interposed between the two.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "layer" refers to a portion of material that includes a region having a thickness. A layer may extend over the entirety of the underlying or overlying structure or may have an extent that is less than the extent of the underlying or overlying structure. Furthermore, a layer may be a region of a homogeneous or heterogeneous continuous structure having a thickness less than the thickness of the continuous structure. For example, a layer may be located between the top and bottom surfaces of the continuous structure, or a layer may be between any horizontal pair at the top and bottom surfaces of the continuous structure. The layers may extend horizontally, vertically and/or along inclined surfaces. Also, a layer may include multiple sublayers.
It is to be understood that the meaning of "on … …," "over … …," and "over … …" in this disclosure should be read in the broadest manner such that "on … …" not only means that it is "on" something without intervening features or layers therebetween (i.e., directly on something), but also includes the meaning of "on" something with intervening features or layers therebetween.
In recent years, the exponential growth of mobile data and the huge demand of emerging consumer electronics have driven the rapid development of the wireless communication technology industry, the use demand of terminal equipment is also increasingly complicated and multifunctional, the continuous richness of the functions of the terminal equipment means the integration and further miniaturization of internal chips, and the requirement for an important structure in a receiving and transmitting module of the terminal equipment, namely a radio frequency front end, is new. In view of the development process of the mobile network, each time a new communication protocol generated by a new generation of mobile network update promotes the upgrade of the radio frequency device module to be configured, and the number of filter components is further increased.
The resonators include dielectric resonators, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) resonators, and bulk Acoustic Wave resonators. The larger power capacity of the dielectric resonator is the advantage of the technology, but the larger volume of the dielectric resonator cannot well meet the development of chip miniaturization and integration, and in addition, the smaller and smaller frequency difference between different frequency bands in the mobile communication field at present puts higher requirements on the signal selectivity of the filter, so that the device needs to have a higher quality factor (Q value).
The surface acoustic wave resonator has been widely used in commercial products due to its high operating frequency, low phase noise, high Q value, low insertion loss, and simple fabrication process below the 2GHz band. However, with the development of 5G communication, the surface acoustic wave resonator has a limitation in its application to the field of high frequency communication due to the size limitation of the interdigital electrode.
The resonant frequency of Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) depends on the thickness of the material, and can be much higher than the working frequency of SAW devices, and the size of the BAW is reduced along with the increase of the frequency, so that the BAW has the advantage of smaller size, and plays an important role in the communication field, wherein a Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) is used as a branch of the BAW, and as the development of the communication technology is greatly improved, the related filter, duplexer and the like have been commercially and massively applied in the high-frequency communication field.
There are many parameters that measure the performance of FBAR devices, and the main parameter includes the electromechanical coupling coefficient (K) t 2 ) Quality factor (Q value), etc. To more systematically characterize these two key parameters of the FBAR, the product of the two can be defined as the Figure of Merit (FOM) of the FBAR. The larger the figure of merit is, the better the frequency selectivity of the FBAR filter is, and the lower the insertion loss is, the better the edge roll-off effect is.
In the related art, when electric power is applied to upper and lower electrodes of a bulk acoustic wave resonator, piezoelectric layers located in the upper and lower electrodes generate an acoustic wave due to a piezoelectric effect. In addition to longitudinal waves, transverse shear waves (transverse shear waves may also be referred to as lateral waves or shear waves) are generated within the piezoelectric layer. The presence of transverse shear waves affects the energy of the primary longitudinal wave, which results in loss of energy and degrades the Q-value of the bulk acoustic wave resonator.
For example, in a mobile terminal, there is a case where a plurality of frequency bands are used simultaneously, which requires a steeper skirt and a smaller insertion loss of a filter or a duplexer in the mobile terminal. The performance of the filter is determined by the wave resonators constituting it, and increasing the Q value of the resonators enables a steep skirt and a small insertion loss. In addition, too large a parasitic resonance of the resonator may also adversely affect the performance of the filter or duplexer.
In view of the above, how to reduce the parasitic resonance of the bulk acoustic wave resonator and increase the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonator is an urgent problem to be solved.
Fig. 1 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a bulk acoustic wave resonant structure 100 in a direction perpendicular to a substrate, according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to fig. 1, the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure 100 includes:
a substrate 101;
a reflective structure 102, a first electrode 103, a piezoelectric layer 104 and a second electrode 105, which are sequentially located on the substrate; wherein, the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the first electrode 103 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the reflecting structure 102 on the substrate 101 is a first overlapping area;
a first bump structure 106 on a side of the piezoelectric layer 104 or the second electrode 105 opposite to the substrate 101; wherein the orthographic projection of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 at least partially overlaps with the first overlapping region for reflecting the transverse shear wave in the first overlapping region;
a second raised structure 107 at least partially located on a side of the second electrode 105 opposite to the substrate 101; wherein the orthographic projection of the second convex structure 107 on the substrate 101 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate, for reflecting the transverse shear wave in the first overlapping region;
and the frequency trimming layer 108 covers the surface of the second electrode 105, the piezoelectric layer 104, the first convex structure 106 and the second convex structure 107 which is relatively far away from the substrate.
It should be noted that, in order to intuitively describe the positions of the first bump structure 106 and the second bump structure 107, the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure 100 (fig. 1) is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram highlighting the first bump structure 106 and the second bump structure 107. Here, the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 1 is only one example of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the features of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and other examples of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure are also shown in the following embodiments. Here, fig. 1 shows that the first bump structure 106 is located on a side of the piezoelectric layer 104 relatively far from the substrate 101.
In practical applications, the constituent material of the substrate 101 may include silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and the like.
The first electrode 103 may be referred to as a lower electrode, and correspondingly, the second electrode 105 may be referred to as an upper electrode, through which electric power may be applied to the bulk acoustic wave resonance structure 100. The first electrode 103 and the second electrode 105 may be the same in composition material, and the composition material may include: conductive materials composed of conductive metals such as aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), or platinum (Pt), or alloys of the conductive metals.
The piezoelectric layer 104 can be used for generating vibration according to the inverse piezoelectric characteristic, and converting the electric signal loaded on the first electrode 103 and the second electrode 105 into an acoustic signal, so as to realize conversion from electric energy to mechanical energy.
In practical applications, the composition of the piezoelectric layer 104 may include: a material having piezoelectric properties. For example, aluminum nitride, zinc oxide, lithium tantalate, lead zirconate titanate, barium titanate, or the like. The constituent material of the piezoelectric layer 104 may also include a material having piezoelectric properties by doping. The doping can be of a transition metal or a rare metal, for example scandium-doped aluminum nitride or the like.
Here, the reflective structure 102 is used to reflect the acoustic wave signal. When the acoustic wave signal generated by the piezoelectric layer 104 propagates toward the reflective structure 102, the acoustic wave signal may be totally reflected at the interface where the first electrode 103 and the reflective structure 102 contact, so that the acoustic wave signal is reflected back into the piezoelectric layer 104. In this way, the energy of the acoustic wave signal generated by the piezoelectric layer 104 can be localized in the piezoelectric layer 104, which can reduce the energy loss of the acoustic wave signal and improve the quality of the acoustic wave signal transmitted by the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure.
It should be noted that the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 1 provides only one example for the present disclosure, and in practical applications, the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure may be specifically divided into: a first type of cavity Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator (FBAR), a second type of cavity FBAR, a Solid-state assembled Resonator (SMR), and the like. The scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can be suitable for the different types of bulk acoustic wave resonant structures.
Here, when the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure 100 includes the first type cavity FBAR, the reflective structure 102 includes a first electrode 103 protruding upward and forming a first cavity between the surface of the substrate 101. When the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure 100 includes the second cavity-type FBAR, the reflective structure 102 includes a second cavity formed between the surface of the substrate 101 recessed downward and the first electrode 103.
In practical applications, an overlapping region of the orthographic projection of the first electrode 103 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the reflective structure 102 on the substrate 101 is a first overlapping region (e.g., S1 shown in fig. 2 a), and the orthographic projection of the first protruding structure 106 on the substrate 101 at least partially overlaps the first overlapping region.
It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first raised structure 106 is disposed near the edge of the first overlapping region, and the first raised structure 106 is configured to reflect the transverse shear wave in the first overlapping region, so that the energy is concentrated on the longitudinal wave in the first overlapping region, thereby achieving the effects of suppressing the transverse parasitic mode (i.e., suppressing the parasitic resonance) and increasing the quality factor (Q value).
In practical applications, the second protruding structures 107 are at least partially located on a side of the second electrode 105 opposite to the substrate 101, the second protruding structures 107 are located above the first protruding structures 106, and an orthographic projection of the second protruding structures 107 on the substrate 101 at least partially overlaps an orthographic projection of the first protruding structures 106 on the substrate.
Here, the positional relationship in which the second convex structure 107 is at least partially located on the side of the second electrode 105 relatively far from the substrate 101 may include the following, and the second convex structure 107 may include a first portion and a second portion, the first: the first part is positioned between the second electrode 105 and the frequency modification layer 108, and the second part is positioned between the first convex structure 106 and the frequency modification layer 108; and the second method comprises the following steps: the first portion and the second portion are both located between the second electrode 105 and the frequency modifying layer 108.
It will be appreciated that the positional relationship of the second electrode 105 and the second bump structure 107 includes a vertical configuration of stacking one on top of the other. That is, the second electrode 105 and the second bump structure 107 are not of the same layer structure, and the second electrode 105 and the second bump structure 107 are not formed in the same process.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the second protrusion 107 is at least partially overlapped on the second electrode 105 in the longitudinal direction, and the second protrusion 107 forms a mass loading structure. When a shear wave propagates to a longitudinal region where the second convex structure 107 overlaps the second electrode 105, the acoustic wave propagating to the region can be reflected, reducing acoustic wave energy leakage, thereby improving the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure.
According to the test result, only the first protruding structure or only the second protruding structure is added in the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure, and the Q value of the improved bulk acoustic wave resonant structure can be improved by 10-20%. The first protruding structure and the second protruding structure are preferably added in the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure, and at the moment, the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure can be improved by 30% -40%.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, a first protrusion structure and a second protrusion structure are additionally arranged in the bulk acoustic wave resonance structure. The first convex structure and the second convex structure inhibit the leakage of transverse shear waves, and the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure can be obviously improved.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2a, the first raised structure 106, is located only between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105; wherein the orthographic projection of the first raised structure 106 on the substrate 101 falls within the first overlap region;
a second raised structure 107 located only on a surface of the second electrode 105 relatively distant from the substrate 101; wherein the orthographic projection of the second raised structure 107 on the substrate 101 falls within the first overlap region.
Exemplarily, the positional relationship in which the first convex structure 106 is located only between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 includes the following cases: referring to fig. 2a, the lower surface (the side relatively close to the substrate 101) of the first bump structure 106 is attached to the side of the piezoelectric layer 104 relatively far from the substrate 101, and the upper surface (the side relatively far from the substrate 101) of the first bump structure 106, the left side wall and the right side wall of the first bump structure 106 are attached to the second electrode 105.
Here, the positional relationship in which the second projection structure 107 is located only on the surface of the second electrode 105 relatively distant from the substrate 101 includes the following cases: referring to fig. 2a, the lower surface (the side relatively close to the substrate 101) of the second protrusion structure 107 is attached to the side of the second electrode 105 relatively far from the substrate 101, and the upper surface (the side relatively far from the substrate 101) of the second protrusion structure 107, the left sidewall and the right sidewall of the second protrusion structure 107 are attached to the frequency correction layer 108.
Exemplarily, referring to fig. 2a, the second overlap region may include an overlap region (S as shown in fig. 2 a) of an orthographic projection of the reflective structure 102 on the substrate 101, an orthographic projection of the first electrode layer 103 on the substrate 101, an orthographic projection of the piezoelectric layer 104 on the substrate 101, and an orthographic projection of the second electrode layer 105 on the substrate 101.
Here, taking the fact that the area of the first overlapping region (e.g., S1 shown in fig. 2 a) is larger than the area of the second overlapping region (e.g., S shown in fig. 2 a), the relationship between the first overlapping region and the second overlapping region can be determined according to the actual size of the reflective structure 102, the first electrode layer 103, the piezoelectric layer 104, and the second electrode layer 105 in practical applications.
Research shows that the variation trend of the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonance structure under different resonance areas comprises the following steps: the smaller the resonance area, the more parasitic resonances and the lower the Q value. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure, the resonance area should be increased as much as possible. Here, the resonance area includes an area of the second overlap region.
In the present embodiment, an orthogonal projection of the first protruding structure 106 on the substrate 101 and an orthogonal projection of the second protruding structure 107 on the substrate 101 are both located within the second overlap region. Referring to fig. 2a, the first and second bump structures 106 and 107 are located in a non-resonance region S2, and the region of the second overlapping region S except for the non-resonance region S2 is divided into a primary resonance region S3 and a secondary resonance region S4. It is understood that the first bump structure 106 may adjust the resonance area of the primary resonance region S3 without changing the area of the second electrode layer 105. Specifically, the larger the resonance area of the main resonance region S3 during the movement of the first bump structure 106 in the first direction (the direction pointing from the main resonance region S3 to the sub resonance region S4 and parallel to the substrate 101), the better the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure can be improved.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the first protruding structure 106 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second protruding structure 107 on the substrate 101 are both located in the first overlapping region, and the orthographic projection of the first protruding structure 106 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second protruding structure 107 on the substrate 101 are both located in the second overlapping region, so that the lateral leakage of the acoustic wave can be better suppressed, the acoustic loss caused by the lateral shear wave can be reduced, and the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure can be improved.

Referring to fig. 2B, B45 indicates that the line width of the first bump structure 106 is 4.5 μm, F25 indicates that the line width of the second bump structure 107 is 2.5 μm, B25+ F45 indicates a resonant structure including the line width of the first bump structure 106 of 2.5 μm and the line width of the second bump structure 107 of 4.5 μm, B25 indicates a resonant structure having the line width of the first bump structure 106 of 2.5 μm, and Normal indicates a resonant structure where the first bump structure 106 and the second bump structure 107 are not disposed; the line width includes a bottom surface width of the first protruding structure 106 or the second protruding structure 107 on a side relatively close to the substrate 101.
Referring to fig. 2B, as the resonance area is gradually increased, the Q value (e.g., Q45 + F25) of the bulk acoustic wave resonance structure (i.e., B45+ F25) including the first bump structure 106 having a line width of 4.5 μm and the second bump structure 107 having a line width of 2.5 μm is increased as shown in fig. 2B p Or Q max ) And a Q value (Q in FIG. 2B) larger than that of a bulk acoustic wave resonator structure (i.e., B25+ F45) including first bump structures 106 having a line width of 2.5 μm and second bump structures 107 having a line width of 4.5 μm p Or Q max )。
Therefore, according to the influence of the line widths of the first and second convex structures 106 and 107 under different resonance areas on the Q value, in order to further improve the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonance structure, it is preferable that the orthographic projection of the second convex structure 107 on the substrate 101 falls within the orthographic projection of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101.

the second electrode 105 includes: a third convex structure, which is convex in a direction away from the substrate 101 and is located at the edge of the second electrode 105, wherein a first end of the third convex structure is in contact with the piezoelectric layer 104, and a second end of the third convex structure is located only between the frequency correction layer 108 and the first convex structure 106; the first end and the second end of the third bulge structure are opposite ends;
the first protruding structure 106 is away from the side edge of the second end of the third protruding structure, and has a preset distance L with the second end of the third protruding structure; wherein the preset distance L is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 10 μm.
Here, the second overlap region includes a region S as illustrated in fig. 3.
In the present embodiment, the orthographic projection of the first protruding structure 106 on the substrate 101 at least partially overlaps the region S, which may include the following cases: the overlapping region of the orthographic projection of the first raised structure 106 on the substrate 101 and the region S includes a region where the preset distance L is located (as shown in fig. 3), or the orthographic projection of the first raised structure 106 on the substrate 101 falls within the region S (not shown).
Referring to fig. 3, the portion where the first bump structure 106 is located is a non-resonance region, a preset distance L is provided between the first bump structure 106 and the second end of the third bump structure, and the preset distance L is adjusted to enable the first bump structure 106 to be close to the edge of the second electrode 105 (i.e., the second end of the third bump structure), so that the area of the resonance region on the left side of the first bump structure 106 can be increased, and the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonance structure can be better improved.
As shown in fig. 1, the second electrode 105 includes: and a third convex structure convex in a direction away from the substrate 101. The second raised structure 107 is located on a third raised structure having a slope in a direction away from the substrate 101, and the second raised structure 107 extends upward along the slope.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2a and 3, the second electrode 105 includes: and a third convex structure, wherein the second convex structure 107 is located on the third convex structure, the frequency modifying layer 108 may extend upward along the slopes of the third convex structure and the second convex structure 107, and the second convex structure 107 may also extend upward along the slope of the third convex structure (not shown). Here, the preset distance L is greater than 0, and the preset distance is less than or equal to 10 μm is just one example of the present embodiment. The preset distance may be set according to a specific size of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by making the first protrusion 106 as close to the edge of the second electrode 105 as possible, the lateral leakage of the acoustic wave can be better suppressed, and the acoustic loss caused by the lateral shear wave is reduced, thereby further improving the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the second protrusion structure 107 is provided in a ring shape.
It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the intuitive description of the second protrusion structure 107 being configured in a ring shape, the schematic top view (fig. 4) is a schematic top view of the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure 100 (fig. 1) with other resonator structures omitted, and only the second protrusion structure 107 and the piezoelectric layer 104 are shown. In addition, the shape of the second protrusion structure 107 shown in fig. 4 is only an example of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the shape of the second protrusion structure 107 in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
For example, the second protrusion structure 107 may be provided in a fan-shaped ring shape (refer to fig. 4), and the second protrusion structure 107 may also be provided in a circular ring shape, an elliptical ring shape, a polygonal ring shape, or the like.
In the present embodiment, the second protrusion structures 107 enclose a closed ring shape or a ring shape with a gap in the front projection of the substrate 101. Here, it is preferable that the second protruding structure 107 encloses a closed ring shape in the orthographic projection of the substrate 101, and the closed ring shape is better capable of reducing the lateral leakage of the acoustic wave than a ring shape having a gap (i.e., an unclosed shape).
Here, the shape of the orthographic projection of the second convex structure 107 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 may be the same or different. It is preferable that the orthographic projection of the second convex structure 107 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second convex structure 107 on the substrate 101 have the same shape, and it should be understood that when the orthographic projection of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 is a closed ring shape, and the orthographic projection of the second convex structure 107 on the substrate 101 is a closed ring shape, it is more advantageous to reduce the lateral leakage of the acoustic wave.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the outer profile of the second raised structure 107 may comprise a closed shape, the closed shape comprising an arc and two or more straight lines. Here, the outer contour can be understood with reference to fig. 4, that is, the outer edge shape of the second projection structure 107 as viewed from a top view.
It should be noted that the outer contour shape of the second bump structure 107 is similar to the outer contour shape of the first electrode 103 or the second electrode 105. In practical applications, the second protruding structures 107 under the frequency correction layer 108 cannot be directly observed from the top view shown in fig. 4, and here, in order to more clearly show the shapes of the second protruding structures 107, the frequency correction layer 108 is omitted and the second protruding structures 107 are shown in a perspective view.
In practical applications, the outer contour of the second bump structure 107 falls within the orthographic projection of the substrate 101 and the outer contour of the second electrode 105 falls within the orthographic projection of the substrate 101, so as to ensure that the acoustic energy is confined within the second overlap region. It can be understood that, when the outer contour of the second protruding structure 107 is a closed line segment with a uniform width, the shape of the second protruding structure is better, and the energy of the sound wave can be better limited in the second overlapping area.
The outer contour of the first bump structure 106 can refer to the above description of the outer contour of the second bump structure 107, and is not described herein again.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second protruding structures 107 preferably form a closed ring in the orthographic projection of the substrate 101, and compared with a ring with a gap, the closed ring can better reduce the lateral leakage of the acoustic wave, reduce the acoustic loss caused by the lateral shear wave, and further improve the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 and 6, a first raised structure 106 is located at least partially between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the orthographic projection of the first end of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 falls into the overlapping region of the orthographic projection of the first electrode 103 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode 105 on the substrate 101; the orthographic projection of the second end of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 falls within the orthographic projection of the reflective structure 102 on the substrate 101; wherein the first end and the second end of the first protrusion structure 106 are opposite ends.
Exemplarily, the position relationship that the first convex structure 106 is at least partially located between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 may include the following, and the first convex structure 106 may include a third portion and a fourth portion, the first: a third part is located between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105, and a fourth part is located between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the frequency modifying layer 108 (refer to fig. 5 and 6); and the second method comprises the following steps: the third and fourth sections are both located between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105 (not shown).
Here, the sidewall of the reflective structure 102 is processed to be a slope, and the sidewall of the reflective structure 102 may also include other shapes. Compared with the case that the side wall of the reflective structure 102 is right-angled (i.e., the side wall of the reflective structure 102 is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 101), the side wall of the reflective structure 102 in the embodiment of the disclosure is sloped, so that other layers above the reflective structure 102 have better adhesion and continuity on the side wall of the reflective structure 102, the probability of fracture of other layers is reduced, and the stability of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure is improved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, when the third portion of the first convex structure 106 is located between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the second electrode 105, and the fourth portion is located between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the frequency modification layer 108, the orthogonal projection of the second end of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 falls within the orthogonal projection of the reflective structure 102 on the substrate 101, and the fourth portion of the first convex structure 106 has a slope P. As shown in fig. 6, the orthographic projection of the second end of the first convex structure 106 on the substrate 101 falls into a region outside the orthographic projection of the reflective structure 102 on the substrate 101, and the fourth portion of the first convex structure 106 has two slopes P.
Illustratively, according to the experimental results, the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 6 is larger than that of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 5.
In the actual process flow for manufacturing the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure, the material deposited at the slope P during the formation of the first protrusion structure 106 may be less than that at the flat portion, the continuity of the constituent material of the first protrusion structure formed at the slope P is poor, and the problem of stress concentration at the slope P after other layers are deposited on the first protrusion structure 106 may be caused, and the stress concentration may cause cracks or even fractures in the first protrusion structure 106, thereby affecting the performance of the bulk acoustic wave resonator structure, and therefore, it is preferable that the first protrusion structure 106 has a slope. Compared to the two slopes P of the fourth portion of the first convex structure 106 in the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 6, the fourth portion of the first convex structure 106 in the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 5 has only one slope P, and the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 5 is preferred.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first protruding structure 106 is introduced at the inner edge of the second overlapping region, so as to better reduce the lateral leakage of the acoustic wave and reduce the acoustic loss caused by the lateral shear wave, thereby further improving the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure.

Here, the positional relationship in which the first convex structure 106 is located only between the piezoelectric layer 104 and the frequency-modifying layer 108 includes the following cases: referring to fig. 7 and 8, the lower surface (the side relatively close to the substrate 101) of the first bump structure 106 is attached to the side of the piezoelectric layer 104 relatively far from the substrate 101, and the upper surface (the side relatively far from the substrate 101) of the first bump structure 106, the left side wall and the right side wall of the first bump structure 106 are attached to the frequency correction layer 108.

In practical applications, according to experimental results, the Q value of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 7 or 8 is larger than that of the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 9, and the bulk acoustic wave resonant structure shown in fig. 7 or 8 is preferred to that shown in fig. 9.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 10, a first raised structure 106 is at least partially located between the second electrode 105 and the frequency shaping layer 108; wherein the content of the first and second substances,

Preferably, the second electrode 105 and the second bump structure 107 may be the same material, for example, molybdenum (Mo). In this way, the second protrusion structure 107 can increase the thickness of the conductor of the second electrode 105, and when a current with a high frequency passes through the second electrode 105, it can be considered that the current flows through the conductor after the thickening, which is equivalent to the increase of the conductor cross section, the effective resistance is reduced, and the ohmic loss is reduced.
