In an aspect of the embodiment of the present application, there is provided a resonator, as shown in fig. 14, including a substrate 11, and a lower electrode 60, a composite piezoelectric layer, and an upper electrode 100 sequentially stacked on the substrate 11, so that a functional layer of the resonator can be formed by the lower electrode 60, the composite piezoelectric layer, and the upper electrode 100, and an overlapping area of the lower electrode 60, the composite piezoelectric layer, and the upper electrode 100 in a forward projection of the substrate 11 serves as an effective working area of the resonator.
In order to improve the temperature stability of the resonator, a temperature compensation block 40 may be further disposed in the composite piezoelectric layer, as shown in fig. 14, when the temperature compensation block 40 is disposed, the temperature compensation blocks 40 may be disposed in a plurality, and since the temperature compensation blocks 40 are distributed in a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction (in combination with fig. 3 and 14), that is, laterally distributed, it is possible to ensure that the effective working area is temperature compensated, thereby having a good temperature compensation capability. On this basis, a plurality of temperature compensation piece 40 adopt spaced mode to distribute each other, so still be the material of compound piezoelectric layer between arbitrary two adjacent temperature compensation piece 40, so, just can keep normal electric property in the region between arbitrary two adjacent temperature compensation piece 40, thereby realize when guaranteeing the temperature compensation scope, compare in the current mode of directly covering effective working area through continuous whole layer temperature compensation layer, this application can show the continuous coverage area that reduces monomer temperature compensation piece 40 to effective working area, thereby reduce the influence that causes the resonator electrical property because of setting up the temperature compensation structure.
In some embodiments, the composite piezoelectric layer includes multiple single crystal piezoelectric layers stacked on the lower electrode 60 in sequence, the multiple temperature compensation blocks 40 are all located on any one of the multiple single crystal piezoelectric layers, for example, the multiple temperature compensation blocks 40 are all located on a first single crystal piezoelectric layer, a second single crystal piezoelectric layer, or a third single crystal piezoelectric layer, so that under the condition of ensuring good temperature compensation capability and low influence of electrical performance, the quality of the composite piezoelectric layer can be effectively improved by using the single crystal piezoelectric layer, and the overall performance of the resonator is further improved. For example:
referring to fig. 14, the multi-layer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes a first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and a second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 stacked on a lower electrode 60 in sequence, and a plurality of temperature compensation blocks 40 are disposed on a side of the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 close to the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50.
Referring to fig. 16, the multi-layer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes a first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and a second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 stacked on a lower electrode 60 in sequence, and a plurality of temperature compensation blocks 40 are all located on a side of the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 away from the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50.
Referring to fig. 17, the multi-layer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes a first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and a second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 stacked on a lower electrode 60 in sequence, and a plurality of temperature compensation blocks 40 are disposed on a side of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 away from the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20.
Referring to fig. 18, the multi-layer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes a first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and a second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 stacked on a lower electrode 60 in sequence, and a plurality of temperature compensation blocks 40 are disposed on a side of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 close to the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20.
Since the temperature compensation block 40 is typically an insulating material, such as silicon dioxide, the provision of the temperature compensation block 40 in the composite piezoelectric layer reduces the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator. The electromechanical coupling coefficient is adjusted in a concentration or thickness ratio mode (the same applies to the subsequent method), so that the influence of the temperature compensation block 40 on the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator is compensated. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 14, the multilayer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes a first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and a second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 stacked on the lower electrode in sequence, wherein the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 is greater than the doping concentration of the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20, so that when adjusting the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator, it can be achieved by changing the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50, and during the adjustment, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator and the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 show a positive correlation trend (it is understood that the electromechanical coupling coefficient and the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer are positively correlated, that is, when only the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer is changed, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator is correspondingly increased, so that the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator can be increased by increasing the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50, and the performance of the resonator is then improved. In other embodiments, the positions of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 can be changed, that is, the multilayer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes the second single crystal piezoelectric layer and the first single crystal piezoelectric layer stacked on the lower electrode in sequence, and at this time, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator can still show a trend of positive correlation with the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer.
Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 19, when the thickness of the piezoelectric layer is kept consistent, the resonant impedance response curves of the resonator of five different piezoelectric materials are: three single-layer piezoelectric materials AlN and Sc 0.09 Al 0.91 N、Sc 0.20 Al 0.80 N, and two double-layer piezoelectric materials AlN/Sc with the thickness ratio of 1 0.09 Al 0.91 N、AlN/Sc 0.20 Al 0.80 N, wherein Sc 0.09 Al 0.91 N represents that the Sc doping proportion in the AlN material is 9 percent, and the other same reason is the same. The series resonant frequency and the parallel resonant frequency corresponding to the resonators made of the five different piezoelectric materials, and the electromechanical coupling coefficients are respectively shown in table 1 below:
TABLE 1 corresponding frequencies and electromechanical coupling coefficients of resonators under five different piezoelectric materials
Figure BDA0003808722530000081
Figure BDA0003808722530000091
As can be seen from table 1, the electromechanical coupling coefficients corresponding to three single-layer piezoelectric materials doped with Sc in different proportions (0%, 9%, 20%) are all different, and based on two double-layer piezoelectric materials with a thickness proportion of 1 under the three single-layer piezoelectric materials, the electromechanical coupling coefficients are all different from those of the original single-layer piezoelectric material, which indicates that the composite piezoelectric layer with different doping concentrations provided by the present application can achieve adjustment of the electromechanical coupling coefficients, and a resonator using the composite piezoelectric layer can achieve electromechanical coupling coefficients different from that of any single-layer piezoelectric material in the composite piezoelectric material, that is, the electromechanical coupling coefficients of the resonator are adjusted.
When the second single crystal piezoelectric layer/the first single crystal piezoelectric layer are AlN/ScAlN, it can be seen from table 1 that, when the thickness ratio of the second single crystal piezoelectric layer to the first single crystal piezoelectric layer is kept at 1, and the doping concentration of Sc in the first single crystal piezoelectric layer ScAlN is increased from 9% to 20%, correspondingly, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator is also increased from 8.629% to 10.474%, i.e., a positive correlation trend is shown.
Although the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator can be increased by increasing the doping concentration of the composite piezoelectric layer, the loss in the corresponding material is also larger, which is also not beneficial to the performance improvement of the resonator. Therefore, this application can also be through dividing compound piezoelectric layer into multilayer single crystal piezoelectric layer to set up the doping concentration of arbitrary two-layer wherein to different, through the thickness ratio of the single crystal piezoelectric layer of the different doping concentrations of adjustment, and then effectively adjust the electromechanical coupling coefficient of resonator, for example:
in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 14, the multilayer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes at least a first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and a second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 stacked on the lower electrode 60 in sequence, wherein the doping concentration of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 is greater than the doping concentration of the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20, so that when adjusting the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator, it can be achieved by changing the thickness ratio of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer, and during the adjustment, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator is positively correlated with the thickness ratio of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 (it should be understood that the electromechanical coupling coefficient is positively correlated with the thickness ratio of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer, that is, when only the thickness ratio of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer is changed, the electromechanical coupling coefficient is correspondingly increased, and vice versa. Thus, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator can be adjusted by changing the thickness ratio of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 until it is adjusted to a target value. In other embodiments, the positions of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20 can be changed, that is, the multilayer single crystal piezoelectric layer includes a second single crystal piezoelectric layer and a first single crystal piezoelectric layer stacked on the lower electrode in sequence, and at this time, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator can still show a trend of positive correlation with the thickness ratio of the first single crystal piezoelectric layer and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer.
In addition, in other embodiments, the multilayer single crystal piezoelectric layer may further include at least one third single crystal piezoelectric layer stacked between the first single crystal piezoelectric layer 50 and the second single crystal piezoelectric layer 20, and in this embodiment, the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator remains the same trend as in the previous embodiment.
Referring to fig. 14, a supporting layer 70 is further disposed between the lower electrode 60 and the substrate 11, and an air cavity 110 is disposed on a side of the supporting layer 70 close to the lower electrode 60, and the air cavity 110 is located in the effective working area, so that the air cavity 110 can be used as a reflection boundary, and the performance of the resonator can be further improved.
With reference to fig. 14, a first transition layer and a second transition layer are further disposed between the support layer 70 and the substrate 11, and the lower electrode 60 and the upper electrode 100 are formed by deposition after forming the composite piezoelectric layer by bonding, so that temperature limitation of the lower electrode 60 and the upper electrode 100 (the temperature of the growth environment of the single crystal piezoelectric layer is high, which is easy to cause oxidation failure of the electrode metal) can be avoided, and a high-quality single crystal piezoelectric layer can be conveniently formed by epitaxy. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 14, the first transition layer includes a first buffer layer 42 and a first bonding layer 80 sequentially stacked on the support layer 70, and the second transition layer includes a second buffer layer 43 and a second bonding layer 81 sequentially stacked on the substrate 11, and the first bonding layer 80 and the second bonding layer 81 are bonded to realize the preparation of the resonator. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 15, the first transition layer includes a first buffer layer 42 disposed on the support layer 70, the second transition layer includes a second buffer layer 43 disposed on the substrate 11, and the preparation of the resonator is achieved by direct bonding of the first buffer layer 42 and the second buffer layer 43.
In another aspect of the embodiments of the present application, there is provided a method for manufacturing a resonator, as shown in fig. 1, the method including:
s010: a substrate is provided.
S020: and manufacturing a lower electrode, a composite piezoelectric layer and an upper electrode which are sequentially stacked on the substrate, wherein the composite piezoelectric layer is internally provided with a plurality of temperature compensation blocks which are mutually spaced, and the plurality of temperature compensation blocks are distributed in a plane vertical to the stacking direction and are positioned in an effective working area of the resonator.
As shown in fig. 14, when disposed, the plurality of temperature compensation blocks 40 are located in the effective operating region, and since the plurality of temperature compensation blocks 40 are distributed in a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction (in conjunction with fig. 3 and 14), i.e., laterally distributed, a range in which the effective operating region is temperature compensated can be secured, thereby having a good temperature compensation capability. On this basis, a plurality of temperature compensation piece 40 adopt spaced mode to distribute each other, so still be the material of compound piezoelectric layer between arbitrary two adjacent temperature compensation piece 40, so, just can keep normal electric property in the region between arbitrary two adjacent temperature compensation piece 40, thereby realize when guaranteeing the temperature compensation scope, compare in the current mode of directly covering effective working area through continuous whole layer temperature compensation layer, this application can show the continuous coverage area that reduces monomer temperature compensation piece 40 to effective working area, thereby reduce the influence that causes the resonator electrical property because of setting up the temperature compensation structure.
