Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of electronic communications technologies, and in particular, to a bulk acoustic wave resonator, a method for manufacturing the bulk acoustic wave resonator, a filter, and an electronic device.
Background
The film bulk acoustic resonator filter (filmbulk acoustic resonator, FBAR) is receiving increasing attention as one of the core devices of Radio Frequency (RF) front-end, mainly because of the high power, high bandwidth and excellent roll-off performance of the FBAR filter, and can well meet the current demands for Radio Frequency performance. In particular, the FABR filter has great advantages in terms of high power compared to the SAW (surface acoustic wave ) filter because the FBAR belongs to a longitudinal wave propagation mode of a bulk acoustic wave and more heat dissipation channels.
However, the bottom electrode structure of the current FBAR is disposed above the acoustic mirror and the supporting structure, and vibration mainly occurs in the effective area of the Fang Xiezhen device on the acoustic mirror during the operation of the FBAR, and vibration outside the effective area is greatly reduced, so that the bottom electrode may generate a certain stress concentration at the interface with the acoustic mirror, so that the bottom electrode becomes a dead weak point, and is easy to break. Particularly at high power, the vibration amplitude of the resonator increases, where it is more likely to break, resulting in no further increase in FBAR power.
Further, heat dissipation of the FBAR is mainly performed by the bottom electrode, but as described above, only a portion of the bottom electrode is in contact with the substrate silicon, so that heat generated by the piezoelectric layer cannot be effectively dissipated, and a heat dissipation channel needs to be increased to increase the power capacity.
In addition, when the frequency is high, the thicknesses of the electrodes of each layer of the FBAR are small, so that the resistance between the resonators of the filter is large, and the resistance value (Rs) of the series resonance point of the large resonator has a certain influence on the passband of the filter.
Accordingly, a resonator, a filter, and an electronic device having good structural performance, heat dissipation performance, and bandpass performance are desired.

First embodiment
Next, with reference to fig. 1, a structure of a first embodiment of a bulk acoustic wave resonator provided by the present disclosure is described. It should be understood that fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a bulk acoustic wave resonator.
As shown in fig. 1, the structure of the first embodiment of the bulk acoustic wave resonator provided in the present disclosure includes a substrate 10, an electrode ring 11, a bottom electrode 12, a piezoelectric functional layer 13, an air ring structure 14, a frame wing structure 15, a top electrode 16, a protective layer 17, an upward protruding structure 18, an acoustic mirror 19, a frame bridge structure 21, and a buried electrode 22.
The substrate 10 may be a single layer of any one of single crystal silicon, gallium arsenide, sapphire, quartz, silicon carbide, SOI, and the like.
On one side of the substrate 10, i.e. the upper side as shown in the figure, an acoustic mirror 19 is etched, the acoustic mirror 19 being capable of reflecting acoustic waves inside the resonator, confining the acoustic wave energy in the resonator, forming a resonance. Specifically, the lower surface of the acoustic mirror 19, which is a resonator, and the piezoelectric layers and electrodes constituting the resonator have large acoustic impedance differences, and can reflect sound waves inside the resonator, confine the sound wave energy in the resonator, and form resonance. Further, as shown in fig. 1, the acoustic mirror 19 has a first step and a second step, and the first step and the second step have different etching angles.
It should be noted that the "first step" and the "second step" are intended to explain the sidewall structure of the acoustic mirror 19 formed by etching. As shown in fig. 8 below, 19-1 indicates a step at an upper position of the acoustic mirror 19, i.e., a first step, and 19-2 indicates a step at a lower position of the acoustic mirror 19, i.e., a second step. Specifically, the first step is located at an upper portion of the acoustic mirror 19 (or referred to as the periphery of the acoustic mirror 19), and the second step is located at a lower portion of the acoustic mirror 19 (or referred to as the bottom of the acoustic mirror 19).
An electrode ring 11 surrounding the acoustic mirror 19 is deposited on a first step (i.e., periphery) of the acoustic mirror 19, and an upper surface of the electrode ring 11 is flush with the acoustic mirror 19 and an upper surface of the substrate 11. The electrode ring 11 and the substrate 10 overlap in the thickness direction, and can be regarded as that the electrode ring portion of the bottom electrode 12 is embedded into the substrate 10, which is equivalent to structural reinforcement of the bottom electrode 12 at the interface with the acoustic mirror 19, so that stress concentration can be reduced, and the reliability of vibration of the resonator under high power can be improved. In addition, the electrode ring 11 also increases the path for heat transfer, thereby further increasing the power capacity of the resonator.
Note that after the electrode ring 11 is deposited on the first step of the acoustic mirror 19, only the second step structure remains in the acoustic mirror 19.
The material of the electrode ring 11 may be selected from molybdenum, ruthenium, gold, aluminum, magnesium, tungsten, copper, titanium, iridium, osmium, chromium, or a composite of the above metals, an alloy thereof, or the like.
In addition, the maximum value of the lateral width of the electrode ring 11 is flush with the outer boundary of the lateral width of the bottom electrode 12, i.e., does not exceed the outer boundary of the bottom electrode 12; whereas in the thickness direction the maximum longitudinal thickness of the electrode ring 11 does not exceed the longitudinal depth of the acoustic mirror 19.
A buried electrode 22 is deposited on the second step of the acoustic mirror 19. The buried electrode 22 is in contact with the electrode ring 11. The buried electrode 22 may be prepared in the same layer as the electrode ring 11 and have the same thickness as the electrode ring 11. It is noted, however, that the embedded electrode 22 may also be made not in the same layer as the electrode ring 11 and have a different thickness than the electrode ring 11. The buried electrode 22 can reduce the resistance of the bottom electrode of the resonator, improve the resistance Rs of the series resonance point of the resonator and further increase the heat transfer channel. In addition, the embedded electrode 22 also plays a role of electromagnetic shielding, so that excellent electromagnetic shielding effect of resonator level can be brought into the filter without preparing an electromagnetic shielding layer at the bottom in the later device integration preparation process, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
The material of the embedded electrode 22 may be selected from molybdenum, ruthenium, gold, aluminum, magnesium, tungsten, copper, titanium, iridium, osmium, chromium, a composite of these metals, an alloy thereof, or the like. Meanwhile, the material of the embedded electrode 22 may be optionally the same as or different from that of the electrode ring 11.
Further, in the present embodiment, the electrode ring 11 and the buried electrode 22 are prepared to be matched with the etching angle of the side wall of the acoustic mirror. Specifically, in the present embodiment, in order to reduce the area of the resonator, the etching angle of the side wall of the first step of the acoustic mirror 19 is as perpendicular as possible, for example, 80 ° to 100 °, preferably 90 °. In addition, the etching angle of the side wall of the second step of the acoustic mirror 19 is smaller than 85 ° and preferably 20 ° to 80 ° unlike the conventional 90 ° etching angle, thereby allowing the electrode ring structure and the buried electrode to be connected and thus achieving a reduction in the resistance value of the bottom electrode.
A bottom electrode 12 covering the acoustic mirror 19 and the electrode ring 11 is deposited above the acoustic mirror 19. The lower surface of the bottom electrode 12, i.e. the surface facing the electrode ring 11 and the acoustic mirror 19, is horizontal. Furthermore, although not shown in the drawings, a seed layer may be deposited above the acoustic mirror 19 and below the bottom electrode 12.
A piezoelectric functional layer 13 is deposited over the bottom electrode 12, i.e. on the face of the bottom electrode 12 remote from the acoustic mirror 19 and the electrode ring 11. The piezoelectric functional layer 13 may be a single crystal piezoelectric material, a polycrystalline piezoelectric material, or a rare earth element doped material containing the above materials in a certain atomic ratio.
An air ring structure 14 is provided on the piezoelectric functional layer 13. As described above, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is a ring-shaped structure formed of air or other low acoustic resistance dielectric material (e.g., siO) above the piezoelectric functional layer 13 of the resonator.

In other words, the air ring structure 14 is partly surrounded by the frame wing structure 15 and is entirely surrounded by the frame bridge structure 21.
In the presently disclosed embodiments, the term "connecting side" refers to the side of the resonator that is connected to the other resonator or test electrode, typically by the top electrode 16 or bottom electrode 12, so that the top or bottom electrode of this side is not etched (as shown on the right side of FIG. 1, its top electrode 16 is not etched); the term "non-connecting side" means that the top electrode 16 or bottom electrode 12 of the resonator on this side is etched away without being connected to other resonators or pads (as shown on the left side of fig. 1, with its top electrode 16 etched).
