The solder balls 113 in this embodiment are disposed in the contact cavities 114A, 1114B in contact with the sidewalls of the respective contact cavities and with their lowermost ends extending beyond the contact cavities.
Accordingly, compared with embodiment 2, the method for manufacturing a bulk acoustic wave resonator provided in this embodiment is different in that:
the step of forming the via holes 110A, 110B is replaced by a step of forming the contact cavities 114A, 114B, which contact cavities 114A, 114B are etched in the same way as the via holes 110A, 110B or by wet etching.
The step of forming the pads 112 is omitted.
In the step of forming the solder balls 113, the solder balls are formed in the contact cavities 114A, 114B.
Compared with embodiment 2, the bulk acoustic wave resonator and the manufacturing process thereof are further simplified, specifically, the process difficulty of etching the contact cavities 114A and 114B with larger diameters is further reduced compared with that of etching the through holes 110A and 110B; in addition, the bonding pad 112 is omitted in this embodiment.
The simplification of the bulk acoustic wave resonator and the corresponding manufacturing process in the embodiment does not affect the subsequent packaging process and performance of the device. Referring to fig. 16, in the packaging process, the bulk acoustic wave resonator provided in this embodiment needs to be connected to the substrate 115 and the substrate pad 116 needs to be electrically connected to the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 103, respectively. When the bulk acoustic resonator provided in this embodiment is connected to the substrate 115 as shown in fig. 16, the solder balls 113 are deformed by hot pressing, and the deformed solder balls 113' partially or completely fill the corresponding contact cavities (in this embodiment, completely fill the corresponding contact cavities) and simultaneously contact with the corresponding contact metal and the substrate bonding pad to generate electrical connection, and further, the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 103 are respectively electrically connected with the corresponding substrate bonding pad 116 through the contact metal and the deformed solder balls; further, similarly to embodiment 2, the second cavity 108 will become a sealed cavity during packaging of the bulk acoustic wave resonator of this embodiment.
In summary, compared with the traditional method for manufacturing the bulk acoustic wave resonator, the method for manufacturing the bulk acoustic wave resonator provided by the invention simplifies the steps of forming the second cavity and the through hole by thinning the substrate and etching the second cavity and the through hole on the thinned substrate, particularly avoids the steps of flattening the sacrificial layer, etching deep silicon and the like with larger process difficulty, and simultaneously avoids the influence of the release hole on the piezoelectric resonant structure on the performance of the device.
The foregoing description is only illustrative of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and all equivalent structures or equivalent processes or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present invention.
