② The resonant frequency varies with the electrode structure: when the electrode structure of the resonator is optimally designed, such as Piston is added, apodization, inclined electrodes and the like are adopted to regulate and control the resonant frequency and the electromechanical coupling coefficient, the resonant frequency and the electromechanical coupling coefficient are changed along with the change of the electrode structure.

The embodiment also provides a preparation method of the acoustic resonator, which comprises the following steps:
(1) As shown in fig. 4, the piezoelectric film 3 is subjected to ion implantation (this process introduces a defect layer); then cleaning a support substrate 1, performing activation treatment on the surface of the support substrate 1, and then bonding the piezoelectric film 3, the SiO 2 intermediate layer 2 and the support substrate 1 in sequence from top to bottom to obtain a heterogeneous integrated substrate;
(2) Annealing the heterogeneous integrated substrate to separate the piezoelectric film 3 at the defect layer to finish the stripping; then carrying out chemical mechanical polishing on the surface of the heterogeneous integrated substrate;
(3) As shown in fig. 5, a photoresist is deposited on the piezoelectric film 3, a developing electrode is patterned by electron beam exposure, a metal is deposited, and a ground electrode 4 and a signal electrode 5 are formed; and removing the photoresist to obtain the acoustic resonator.
In this embodiment, the thickness of any ground electrode 4 or signal electrode 5 is changed (the other group of electrodes is kept unchanged), so as to regulate and control the electromechanical coupling coefficient and frequency of the resonator, so as to adapt to the requirements of resonators with different electromechanical coupling coefficients required by the filter, and the effect diagram is shown in fig. 6. The metal electrode is Al, the thickness of the grounding electrode 4 is fixed to be 120nm, the regulation range of the signal electrode 5 is 120-300 nm, the piezoelectric film is 600nm of Y42 cut lithium tantalate, the thickness of the SiO 2 intermediate layer is 500nm, and the supporting substrate is 3500nm of silicon substrate. On the basis, the duty ratio of the metal electrode is regulated, namely, only the duty ratio (0.1-0.8) of the grounding electrode 4 (or the signal electrode 5), the duty ratio of the signal electrode 5 (or the grounding electrode 4) is set to be 0.5, other parameters are kept unchanged, and the design structure is shown in fig. 2. Through researches, the adjustment and control of the electromechanical coupling coefficient of the resonator can be realized under the condition that the resonant frequency is not changed by adjusting the duty ratio of the metal electrode, and the effect diagram is shown in fig. 7 and a black dotted line frame thereof. On the basis of the former, the method is very friendly to the requirement of resonators with different electromechanical coupling coefficients required by the monolithically integrated filter.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment provides an acoustic resonator having a structure including:
providing a support substrate 1;
an intermediate layer 2 of SiO 2 located above the support substrate 1;
A piezoelectric film 3 positioned above the SiO 2 intermediate layer 2;
A metal electrode located above the piezoelectric film 3;
The metal electrode consists of interdigital electrodes 6 with the same thickness or different thicknesses and a reflecting grating 7. The interdigital electrode 6 is arranged in the middle, and the reflecting grating 7 is arranged at two ends.
The embodiment also provides a preparation method of the acoustic resonator, which comprises the following steps:
(1) As shown in fig. 4, the piezoelectric film 3 is subjected to ion implantation (this process introduces a defect layer); then cleaning a support substrate 1, performing activation treatment on the surface of the support substrate 1, and then bonding the piezoelectric film 3, the SiO 2 intermediate layer 2 and the support substrate 1 in sequence from top to bottom to obtain a heterogeneous integrated substrate;
(2) Annealing the heterogeneous integrated substrate to enable the piezoelectric film 3 to split at the defect layer so as to finish stripping; then carrying out chemical mechanical polishing on the surface of the heterogeneous integrated substrate;

In this structure, the thickness of the reflective grating is adjusted, that is, the thickness of the reflective grating is adjusted to 150-300 nm on the premise of keeping the parameters of the interdigital electrode unchanged, so that the thickness of the reflective grating is thickened downwards (the height of the top electrode is kept consistent). The structure has obvious weakening and inhibiting effects on the high-order modes on the right side of the main resonance mode, the effect diagram is shown in fig. 8, the high-order mode admittance ratio is reduced to 4.713dB and 1.747dB from 7.844dB in sequence, and the effect is obvious. If the high order mode exists and the admittance is strong, the passband of the filter is affected, that is, noise is introduced into the passband on the right side, so that in-band jitter is caused, and the performance of the filter is degraded (i.e., the in-band jitter of the filter caused by the high order hybrid mode is shown as a dashed line box in fig. 9). The embodiment can greatly weaken the influence of the high-order hybrid mode on the passband of the filter, and has obvious effect of improving the in-band jitter.
