Description

Preparation method of film bulk acoustic resonator based on multiple bonding processes
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductors, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a film bulk acoustic resonator based on a multiple bonding process.
Background
With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, market demands for high-frequency resonators and filters are increasing. A Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) resonator uses a separate bulk acoustic film that is supported only around the edges where it is used. An air cavity is arranged between the bottom electrode and the carrier wafer, and compared with the traditional microwave ceramic resonator and the traditional surface wave resonator, the Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) has the advantages of small volume, low loss, high quality factor, large power capacity, high resonant frequency and the like, has wide application prospect in the related fields, especially in the aspect of high-frequency communication, and becomes a research hot in the industry and academia.
The film bulk acoustic resonator is a main constituent unit of a film bulk acoustic filter, and its basic structure is a sandwich piezoelectric oscillator in which two metal electrodes sandwich a piezoelectric film layer. The thickness of the piezoelectric thin film layer determines the operating frequency of the bulk acoustic wave resonator, and the quality of the thin film layer determines the performance of the resonator, such as Q value, electromechanical coupling coefficient, FOM value, etc.
Currently, main-stream piezoelectric films such as AlN, znO and the like are prepared by adopting a magnetron sputtering mode, and the thicknesses of the main-stream piezoelectric films are more than 500nm, so that the main-stream piezoelectric films have better film quality, and the working frequency of devices is severely limited.
On the other hand, the thin film has many defects, which causes a large loss of the BAW resonator and makes it difficult to raise the Q value. Along with the progress of film preparation technology and equipment, the preparation technology of the piezoelectric film is mature, the piezoelectric film with the advantages of good film quality, few defects and the like can be prepared, and the BAW resonator with higher frequency and Q value can be prepared by means of the piezoelectric film, so that the piezoelectric film has been widely interested in scientific research and industry.
However, the better the quality of the piezoelectric film prepared by the existing piezoelectric film growth process is, the easier the larger film stress is introduced, so that the subsequent bonding process is extremely high in requirement, and the situation that the piezoelectric film is cracked in the transfer process is easily caused, which can seriously affect the product yield. However, under the condition of the existing device structure, the bonding effect is inevitably influenced, the removal amount of the piezoelectric film growth substrate in the mechanical thinning process is finally reduced, excessive etching of the piezoelectric film is easily caused in the plasma etching process by the residual piezoelectric film growth substrate, and the thickness uniformity of the piezoelectric film is influenced, so that the device performance is influenced.
Therefore, there is a need to design a device structure and a manufacturing process to improve the bonding effect of the device and reduce the cracking phenomenon of the piezoelectric film layer.
