Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects solved by the invention more clear, the invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the filter 100 is a ladder-type structure filter including a bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 and a capacitor 2. The bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 includes a plurality of parallel arm resonators and a plurality of series arm resonators, and the capacitor 2 may be connected in series or in parallel with any one of the parallel arm resonators, or may be connected in series or in parallel with any one of the series arm resonators. In addition, in the present embodiment, "a plurality of" means two or more. In other embodiments, the number of bulk acoustic wave resonators 1 of the filter 100 may be one (refer to fig. 7) or other numbers, and when the number of bulk acoustic wave resonators 1 of the filter 100 is plural, the connection relationship of the bulk acoustic wave resonators 1 may be set according to the actual requirement.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 includes a substrate 11, an acoustic mirror 12, a piezoelectric layer 13, an upper electrode 14, and a lower electrode 15. Wherein the acoustic mirror 12 is disposed on the substrate 11, the lower electrode 15 is disposed on the upper surface of the acoustic mirror 12, the piezoelectric layer 13 is disposed on the upper surface of the lower electrode 15, and the upper electrode 14 is disposed on the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 13. In addition, the region where the acoustic mirror 12, the lower electrode 15, the piezoelectric layer 13, and the upper electrode 14 overlap each other forms a resonance region 16, wherein the region surrounded by the dashed-line frame Q in fig. 4 is the resonance region 16. Further, the region where the four overlap each other may refer to a region where orthographic projections of the four on the lower surface of the substrate 11 can overlap.
In one possible embodiment, a seed layer may be further added between the bottom electrode 15 and the acoustic mirror 12, and the seed layer may be made of aluminum nitride or the like.
In the first embodiment, the material of the substrate 11 may be any of single crystal silicon, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, sapphire, quartz, etc., and preferably, the substrate 11 is made of a material with a relatively large dielectric constant to reduce the capacitance area.
In one embodiment, acoustic mirror 12 is a cavity embedded in the upper surface of substrate 11. In other embodiments, the acoustic mirror 12 may be a bragg reflective layer, or may be configured by forming a cavity with a lower electrode, or the like.
In the first embodiment, the material of the piezoelectric layer 13 may be aluminum nitride, zinc oxide, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) or rare earth element doped material with a certain atomic ratio of the above materials. The piezoelectric layer 13 may also be selected from single crystal piezoelectric materials such as single crystal aluminum nitride, lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, quartz, and the like.
In the first embodiment, the upper electrode 14 may be made of a single metal material or a composite or alloy material of different metals. Alternatively, the upper electrode 14 may be made of one of molybdenum, tungsten, ruthenium, gold, magnesium, aluminum, copper, chromium, titanium, osmium, iridium, or a composite or alloy thereof. The lower electrode 15 may be made of a single metal material or a composite or alloy material of different metals. Alternatively, the upper electrode 14 may be made of one of molybdenum, tungsten, ruthenium, gold, magnesium, aluminum, copper, chromium, titanium, osmium, iridium, or a composite or alloy thereof. The materials of the upper electrode 14 and the lower electrode 15 may be the same or different.
As shown in fig. 4, the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 further has a passivation layer 17, and the passivation layer 17 covers the outer surface of the upper electrode 14, wherein the passivation layer 17 may be made of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, or the like.
In addition, in the first embodiment, the arrangement of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 may be a conventional one, and this embodiment will not be described here too much.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the capacitor 2 includes a first metal layer 21 and a second metal layer 22, the first metal layer 21 is located on the lower surface of the substrate 11, the second metal layer 22 is located on the upper surface of the substrate 11, and a capacitance region 23 is formed in a region where the first metal layer 21, the second metal layer 22 and the substrate 11 overlap each other, wherein a region surrounded by a dashed-line frame P in fig. 5 is the capacitance region 23. The region where the first metal layer 21, the second metal layer 22, and the substrate 11 overlap each other is a region where the three can overlap in orthographic projection on the lower surface of the substrate 11. In the present embodiment, the capacitor 2 is formed on the substrate 11, which corresponds to being integrally formed with the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1, and the capacitor 2 can be used instead of the capacitive element in the prior art, so that the package size of the filter 100 can be reduced.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the orthographic projection of the capacitance region 23 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 and the orthographic projection of the resonance region 16 of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 do not overlap, so that interference between the capacitance region 23 and the resonance region 16 can be effectively avoided.
In this embodiment, the first metal layer 21 is disposed on the lower surface of the substrate 11, and the capacitor formed by the first metal layer and the second metal layer 22 through the substrate 11 does not generate parasitic resonance, and does not generate resonance peaks outside the band, so that the out-of-band suppression effect of the specific frequency band of the filter 100 is not deteriorated. The capacitance value of the capacitor region 23 formed by the arrangement mode of the embodiment is smaller, and compared with the conventional discrete capacitor element, the arrangement mode of the embodiment can better control the accuracy of the capacitance value.
In the present embodiment, the capacitance c=εs/d of the capacitor 2, where ε is the dielectric constant of the substrate 11, S is the area of the overlapping region of the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 22, and d is the thickness of the substrate 11, where the thickness of the substrate 11 is the distance between the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 22. Typically, d >20um, and C is determined by the design requirements of the filter 100, and typically has a value between 0.01pF and 3 pF.
As shown in fig. 4, in one implementation of the first embodiment, the filter 100 further includes a via 18, where the via 18 penetrates from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 13; each bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 of the filter 100 includes a first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, and one end of the first metal layer 21 is disposed through the wire hole 18 to be electrically connected to the upper electrode 14 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a. At this time, the first metal layer 21 is equivalent to two parts, wherein the first part is located on the lower surface of the substrate 11, the second part is electrically connected to the first part, and the second part is disposed through the via hole 18 to be electrically connected to the upper electrode 14 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, and when the first metal layer 21 is prepared, some metal will be filled in the via hole 18 to electrically connect the first metal layer 21 to the upper electrode 14 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a. It should be understood that, at this time, the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a is not electrically connected to the first metal layer 21, and a certain gap is provided between the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a and the via hole 18.
In other embodiments, the via hole 18 may extend from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the upper surface of the substrate 11, and at this time, one end of the first metal layer 21 may be electrically connected to the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a through the via hole 18. In this way, the second metal layer 22 may not be electrically connected to the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, but the second metal layer 22 may be electrically connected to a conductive structure (defining the conductive structure as a first conductive structure) other than the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, the first conductive structure being located between the piezoelectric layer and the substrate 11 for production convenience, that is, the first conductive structure is also disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 11. The first conductive structure may be a pad of the filter 100, a trace connected to the pad, the lower electrode 15 of the other resonator 1, or a trace connecting the lower electrodes 15 of the two resonators 1. Of course, when one end of the first metal layer 21 is electrically connected to the upper electrode 14 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, the second metal layer 22 may be electrically connected to the first conductive structure.
In one implementation manner of the first embodiment, the capacitor 2 is connected in series with the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, at this time, one end of the first metal layer 21 of the capacitor 2 is electrically connected to the upper electrode 14 or the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a through the via hole 18, one end of the second metal layer 22 is electrically connected to the first conductive structure, and the other end of the first metal layer 21, the other end of the second metal layer 22 and the region where the substrate 11 overlaps with each other form a capacitance region.
As shown in fig. 1, in another possible embodiment, the capacitor 2 and the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a may be connected in parallel, where one end of the first metal layer 21 is disposed through the wire hole 18 to electrically connect the upper electrode 14 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a; one end of the second metal layer 22 is electrically connected with the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a; the other end of the first metal layer 21, the other end of the second metal layer 22, and the region where the substrates 11 overlap each other form a capacitance region. The second metal layer 22 and the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a are also electrically connected in various ways: as shown in fig. 3, each bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 further includes a second bulk acoustic wave resonator 1b, the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a is electrically connected with the lower electrode 15 of the second bulk acoustic wave resonator 1b through a wire, and the second metal layer 22 is electrically connected with the wire, so as to further realize electrical connection with the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a; alternatively, as shown in fig. 6, the second metal layer 22 may be directly electrically connected to the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a.
In addition, the second metal layer 22 and the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a are of an integrally formed structure, so that the production is more convenient; likewise, the second metal layer 22 and the first conductive structure may be an integrally formed structure. When the first conductive structure is the lower electrode 15 of the resonator 1 other than the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, or the wiring connecting the lower electrodes 15 of the two resonators 1, or the wiring connecting the pads, the second metal layer 22, the lower electrode 15 of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1a, and the first conductive structure may be integrally formed. For example, a metal conductive layer may be prepared on the lower surface of the piezoelectric layer during production, and then the metal conductive layer is patterned by exposing, developing, etching, etc. to obtain the lower electrode 15, the second metal layer 22, and the first conductive structure of the first bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 a.
As shown in fig. 4, further, the aperture of the via hole 18 gradually decreases in the direction from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 13, so that the filling property of the first metal layer 21 in the via hole 18 can be improved. In other implementations, the aperture of the via hole 18 may be set to be uniform along the direction from the lower surface of the substrate 11 to the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 13, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In the first embodiment, when the filter 100 has a bulk acoustic wave resonator 1, the orthographic projection of the resonance region 16 of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 does not overlap with the first metal layer 21, so that parasitic capacitance between the first metal and the upper electrode 14 or the lower electrode 15 can be avoided, leakage of acoustic energy from the region can be avoided, and thus the operation performance of the filter 100 can be improved; also, the orthographic projection of the resonance region 16 of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 and the orthographic projection of the second metal layer 22 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 do not overlap, so that parasitic capacitance between the second metal and the upper electrode 14 or the lower electrode 15 can be avoided. When the filter 100 has a plurality of bulk acoustic wave resonators 1, the orthographic projections of the resonance regions 16 of the respective bulk acoustic wave resonators 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 do not overlap with the first metal layer 21, and the orthographic projections of the resonance regions 16 of the respective bulk acoustic wave resonators 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 do not overlap with the orthographic projections of the second metal layer 22 on the lower surface of the substrate 11.
Note that, the non-overlapping in this embodiment may be not completely overlapping, or may be completely non-overlapping, and this embodiment is not limited.
Furthermore, in one possible implementation of the first embodiment, the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 22 may be two independent pads.
Example two
As shown in fig. 8 to 12, in the second embodiment, the filter 100 also includes the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 and the capacitor 2. The number of bulk acoustic wave resonators 1 in the second embodiment may be one (refer to fig. 12) or plural (refer to fig. 8), and the related arrangement is the same as that in the first embodiment. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: although the capacitor 2 in the second embodiment also includes the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 22, in the second embodiment, the first metal layer 21 is located on the lower surface of the substrate 11 of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1, and the second metal layer 22 is located on the upper surface of the piezoelectric layer 13 of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1; the region where the first metal layer 21, the second metal layer 22, the substrate 11 and the piezoelectric layer 13 overlap each other forms a capacitance region 23, and the orthographic projection of the capacitance region 23 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the resonance region 16 of the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11. The area surrounded by the dashed box Q in fig. 9 is the resonance area 16, and the area surrounded by the dashed box P in fig. 10 is the capacitance area 23.
In the second embodiment, the first metal layer 21 and the second metal layer 22 of the capacitor 2 are respectively disposed on the substrate 11 and the piezoelectric layer 13 so as to be integrated with the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1, which corresponds to the bulk acoustic wave resonator 1, and when in use, the capacitor 2 can replace a capacitive element in the prior art, thereby reducing the package size of the filter 100.
At this time, the orthographic projection of the resonance region 16 of each bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 does not overlap with the first metal layer 21. Likewise, the orthographic projection of the resonance region 16 of each bulk acoustic wave resonator 1 on the lower surface of the substrate 11 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second metal layer 22 on the lower surface of the substrate 11.
In addition, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the following arrangement:
